Snowgate
Snowgate refers to a specific type of snow plow attachment designed to clear snow from driveways and sidewalks more effectively than standard plows. It is characterized by its ability to move snow sideways off the cleared area, rather than simply pushing it forward. This sideways displacement is achieved through a rotating mechanism or a series of angled blades that redirect the snow. The primary advantage of a Snowgate is its efficiency in preventing snow buildup at the end of driveways or along property lines, which can be a common problem with traditional plowing methods. This feature is particularly beneficial in areas with heavy snowfall or where space for snow storage is limited. Snowgates are often attachable to various types of vehicles, including ATVs, UTVs, and small tractors, making them a versatile option for both residential and commercial snow removal. The design aims to reduce the need for repeated plowing and to create cleaner, more accessible pathways. While effective, the operation of a Snowgate may require a slight learning curve compared to standard plowing techniques due to its distinct snow-moving action.
