Skid shoes, also known as skid pads or skid plates, are attachments on snow plows that serve several important purposes.
Rugged skid shoes reduce wear and tear by absorbing some of the wear and tear that would otherwise affect the plow blade, extending the lifespan of both the shoes and the blade.
Height Adjustment: This allows you to adjust the height of the plow blade above the ground. This is essential for preventing the blade from scraping too hard against surfaces.
Surface Protection: By keeping the plow blade elevated, skid shoes help protect paved surfaces, gravel, and other materials from damage during plowing.
Enhanced Stability: Skid shoes provide stability to the plow during operation. They help keep the blade steady and in contact with the surface being plowed, reducing the chances of the blade bouncing or digging in too deep.
Improved Maneuverability: The presence of skid shoes can facilitate better mobility by allowing the plow to glide over uneven surfaces, making it easier to navigate obstacles and contours in the landscape.
