✓ Fits most skid steers, including small-frame
View on snopusher.com →
Overview
Pro-Tech's Steel Edge Sno Pusher uses a guided spring trip design with a single steel cutting edge for scraping hardpack and ice more aggressively than rubber edge models. The fully welded structural steel chassis is Pro-Tech's standard construction, backed by a 10-year warranty. The steel edge is simpler, cost-effective, and better suited for sites with good pavement condition. Available through Canadian dealers.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You push snow on flat commercial lots, parking decks, or loading docks with a defined push perimeter
- You don't have room or budget for a blower — pushers cost far less and maintain well
⛔ Skip if…
- Your site has no windrow drop zone — pushers pile snow that has to go somewhere
- Wet, heavy Ontario snow is your primary challenge — heavy packs reduce machine traction with a full pusher
🔍 Also consider…
- Sectional pusher if your site has frost heaves or uneven pavement you need the wings to follow
- Snow blower attachment if bank height from repeated pushes is becoming a problem
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach — no auxiliary hydraulics required.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect the trip-edge blade for wear before each season and replace when worn below the wear indicator line — a worn-through trip-edge transfers full impact to the blade frame
- Grease all trip-edge pivot and hinge points after every major pushing session, especially after work in extreme cold where grease migrates out of joints faster
- Check side board welds for cracking after frost heave strikes — box sides bear significant impact forces during high-speed frost heave hits
- Rinse salt off after every use and before extended storage — road salt accelerates rust on unpainted steel edges and frame members faster than people expect
- Store off the ground on blocks or a pallet to prevent the cutting edge from sitting in standing water and rusting from below
How to Connect
- Back machine into push frame receiver
- Lower boom to slide trip edges into receiver arms
- Engage mounting pins or latch
- Raise slightly off ground and test trip edge reset manually if accessible
⚠ Safety NoteSnow pushers are passive (no hydraulics) on most models — mounting is mechanical only
❄️ Before You Buy a Snow Pusher
Snow pusher sizing is machine-dependent — an oversized box overloads your loader arms; undersizing means extra passes on large lots.

- Buy before November — Canadian dealers sell out of popular sizes by mid-winter
