Lateral snow plough OZ-S

The lateral snow plough OZ-S is designed for snow removal on multi-lane roads. Importantly, it operates as a complement to a front-mounted snow plough. This enlarges a clearance width, which is especially useful when using a lateral snow plough. Therefore, for maximum efficiency during each passage, the OZ-S should be used in addition to the OZ-A/S (click HERE to read more). As a result,  the clearance width expands up to 5,7 m.

The ploughing width can be adjusted continuously. This makes it easier to remove snow from difficult places like roundabouts or stops. An additional advantage of the side-mounted plow when clearing snow from highways is the ability to fold the plow. This allows you to drive through narrow passages using a lateral snow plough.

The OZ-S side-mounted snow plough is equipped with an override system. Therefore, when obstacles are hit by the lateral snow plough, the spring-loaded bottom-trip override system keeps the moldboard upright. Meanwhile, the cutting edge gives way. In the result, the remaining sections stay in their clearing position. 

Snow ploughs, such as a lateral snow plough, can be powered by a power pack. Alternatively, they can be powered by hydraulics of the vehicle on which it is mounted.
