After spending more than 3 years closely collaborating with over 10 airports around the world, a unique combination of materials was used to develop this blade for airfield clearance. The use of a patented rubber and plastic compound has significantly reduced the noise of the snowplough during clearance, with minimal jerking in the vehicle when travelling over the lights. These are also protected from scratching or against being destroyed.
