Skid Steer Snow Pushers for High-Volume Snow Removal

Skid Steer Snow Pushers for High-Volume Snow Removal

A snow pusher is a containment box, not an angled plow. The side plates keep snow in front of the moldboard instead of rolling it off to one side, so a single straight pass clears the full width without leaving a row to come back for. That trade-off pays off on open pavement — parking lots, aisles, distribution yards, terminal aprons — where the job is moving volume to a stacking area rather than cutting driveways or backdragging around obstacles. Both units here are Loflin Fabrication, welded from heavy-duty steel for commercial and professional use. The Loflin Fabrication Skid Steer Snow Pusher uses a 3/16" formed back panel, 3/8" gusseted sides and 1/2" thick replaceable wear shoes, so the wear item is a bolt-on part rather than the box itself.

Choosing a Working Width and Cutting Edge

The Skid Steer Snow Pusher is offered in working widths from 7' to 14' and stands 35 3/4" tall. Width should follow the machine, not the lot. A box that is too wide for the loader spills snow off the ends and runs out of traction before it fills. Check your loader's rated operating capacity and how much weight it will carry out on the coupler before committing to a 12' or 14' box.

Both pushers offer reversible edges. The Skid Steer Snow Pusher takes a 1 1/2" x 10" reversible rubber edge or a 5/8" x 6" reversible steel blade; the Loflin Fabrication Snow Pusher is offered with a reversible rubber cutting edge or a steel scrape blade. Rubber rides over expansion joints, pavers and raised covers and is quieter on early-morning routes. Steel scrapes harder on packed snow and rough asphalt but is less forgiving of anything sticking up. Reversible means you flip the edge when one side wears instead of replacing it.

Mounting and Season Planning

The Loflin Fabrication Snow Pusher ships pre-assembled with a quick-attach mount listed as fitting most attachment carriers. Pushers are mechanical — no hydraulic hookup — so auxiliary flow is not a limiting factor the way it is with a snow blower or angle plow. Order spare edges and wear shoes before the season instead of mid-storm; a worn edge is what turns a clean scrape into a slush layer. Store the box blocked up off the ground so the shoes and back panel are not sitting in salt brine through the summer.
