Commercial Snow Plows Versus Residential Snow Plows
When you get snowed in, it’s sometimes necessary to hire a snow plow. In such cases, it’s important to know whether you need residential or commercial snow plowing. They look similar to each other but there are differences. Think about these differences before making a decision. Here is what you need to know:
Commercial Snow Plows
These are designed for heavy-duty use, like clearing large parking lots, roadways, and other commercial places. They are also larger and more powerful than residential snow plows and are built to withstand the wear and tear of frequent use.
Pros:
Durability: They are designed to be durable and withstand heavy use.
Efficiency: They are typically larger and more powerful than their residential counterparts, which means they can clear larger areas more effectively.
Versatility: They can be used on various surfaces. You won’t have a problem using them on concrete, asphalt, and gravel.
Cons:
Cost: They are more expensive than residential snow plows, and need a larger vehicle to tow them.
Maintenance: Because commercial snow plows are specifically designed for heavy-duty use, they do need more maintenance than residential ones.
Residential Snow Plows
These are built for use on smaller properties, like sidewalks and driveways. They are generally smaller and not as powerful as commercial snow plows, however, they are still just as effective at clearing snow from residential spaces.
Pros:
Affordability: They are cheaper than commercial snow plows.
Ease of Use: They are built to be easy to use. Even for people who have no experience dealing with snow removal.
Convenience: Having a residential snow plow does save time and energy during the winter months by making the removal of snow quicker and easier.
Cons:
Limited Use: Residential snow plows are not for heavy-duty use, and they are often not suitable for larger properties or commercial spaces.
