SINgLE-STAgE
DUAL-STAgE
In a single move, the paddle
pulls snow into the thrower and
pushes it out the discharge chute.
These units are lightweight,
maneuverable, easy to use and
best for:
- Clearing small driveways,
walkways and patios
- Paved surfaces
- Powdery, light to moderate
snow
- Less than 6" of snowfall
(per clearing)
These units perform two moves:
1) the auger breaks up snow,
churning it into the impeller;
2) the impeller pushes it out of
the discharge chute. They provide
quick removal of large amounts
of snow and are best for:
- Clearing medium to extra-large
driveways, walkways and patios
- Paved or gravel surfaces
- Powdery to moderate and wet
to heavy snow
- More than 6" of snowfall
(per clearing)
