newproducts Rotary broom SnowEx introduces a versatile new walk-behind rotary broom with a plow attachment for snow removal and other cleanup applications. Powered by a 160 cc Honda GXV Series engine, the SS-4000 features a floating pivotal broom head with five angle settings to adjust the trajectory of snow. The 16-in. diameter broom works against curbs, walls and other obstacles from either the left- or right-hand side. For heavier snow conditions, the operator can install a front-mounted blade attachment, which comes standard with the SS-4000.
V-plow The new 9200 series commercial-duty torsion-trip V-plow from Hiniker features double-acting hydraulic cylinders that hold wings securely in position, even while backdragging. Simple, reliable torsion-trip edges provide independent protection to each plow wing. Moldboards feature a low-friction, high-density polyethylene surface that is corrosion-free and dent-resistant. Wrap-around curb guards with chrome-alloy wear bars provide protection from premature wear and damage. Available in 8.5- and 9.5-ft. widths. Customize with optional skid shoes, cutting edges, and snow deflectors.
