Cleveland Snow Plowing & Snow Removal Equipment
Backhoe Pusher Loader
The backhoe with snow pushbox is an excellent snow removal machine for snowplowing companies. A backhoe has the required torque to handle very heavy snow conditions found in the Cleveland Area. Another benefit is the long reach that a backhoe loader has when stacking snow or dumping into a truck for removal. Backhoes can also be driven between areas faster and easier to clear parking lots quickly and efficiently.
Visibility inside a backhoe - with higher seating and a 360 degree view - is better compared to most skid steer based machines. This visibility advantage, especially when backing up, gives H&M Snow Pros the abilty to clear heavy snow quickly and in the safest possible manner.

Commercial Snow Blower
Snow blowers are a great way to remove snow from Cleveland area commercial properties. This is a tractor with rear mounted snow blower and a front mounted pusher box for plowing snow. This is very efficient as snow can be plowed and also thrown out of the way with one machine. The tractor has large rear wheels to provide good trction in deep snow, good manuverability and a fully enclosed cab. The snow blower is able to remove and deposit snow up to 40 feet away in any direction, eliminating unsightly snow piles that can reduce visibility during our prolonged Cleveland winter. The tractor platform features a snow pusher box on the loader end to move large quatities of snow quickly. The enclosed heated cab also keeps the snow operator comfortable and has a elevated vantage point to increase visibilty and overall safety. Snow blowers have several distict advantages over plows in some situations. Snow can be removed from any surface, thrown clear and distributed evenly to keep your commercial property looking it's best. They are less damaging to turf and landscaped beds than snow plows and eliminate dense snow piles that block visibility of other vehicles on roadways, drives and in parking lots. Call us today to keep your commercial property safe and accessible this coming winter!
Telehandler w/Pusher Box
We are using a specialized machine here called a telehandler (short for telescopic handler) to remove snow from a large Cleveland area parking lot. This particular model is a Bobcat VersaHANDLER utilizing a snow pusher attachment. The advantages of this snow removal machine stem from it's telescoping boom that can stack snow very high and also push it far away from the front of the machine. With our intense Cleveland winters, there can be issues with finding enough space to stack snow in crowded parking areas and this machine can push the tops of packed snow piles back to make room for more snow. A telehandler can also reach out and back drag the tops of loading docks and other elevated surfaces and it has 4-wheel drive to help with traction in icy conditions. Similar to a loader, it features 4-wheel steering for increased maneuverability, especially when making turns while pushing a loaded snow pusher box. This type of machine is normally used as a fork lift, but can accept attachments for a snow push box, snow plow, snow blower or snow broom. The extendable boom arm can potentially limit the view on the right side, but there is excellent visibility on left side of the machine to improve safety. A snow pusher box is used here to keep the snow from spilling around the sides while plowing. This reduces the number of passes needed to clear the lot and greatly improves the efficiency of snow removal.
Our company uses it's extensive inventory of snow removal equipment, such as this telehandler with snow push box, to provide safety to local area companies in Cleveland. There's still time to contact us for a free estimate to handle all of your snow removal needs. Call us today to keep your commercial property safe and accessible this winter.
Pickup Truck with V-Plow
The heavy-duty pickup truck with V-plow is a versatile snow plowing tool for commercial snow removal in Cleveland. A pickup can get between sites fast, merge into an out of traffic, and move safely out of the way when needed. It is most efficient with straight stretches in large areas where it can keep plowing forward and not need to waste time backing up. The pickup with V-plow can quickly clean up snow missed by larger equipment, get into tight spaces with independent folding blades and can back-drag snow away from buildings and doorways. With increased speed over larger snow removal equipment, it uses momentum to keep the snow moving and compact it into piles. Pickup trucks rely on snow tires and four-wheel drive to increase traction and keep the vehicle safe and under control in heavy snow and icy conditions.
The V-plow has two independently controlled blades with a hinge in the middle and offers more flexibility than a regular plow. It can windrow(as with a straight plow), scoop(like a containment plow) or cut through deep, dense snow- without shifting the truck sideways. These options can be chosen to fit the specific layout of various commercial properties in our Cleveland service area. Pickups can be fitted with back mounted salt spreaders to dispense de-icer for melting snow and ice- while plowing snow at the same time to increase efficiency. The truck bed holds bags of de-icer and the extra weight increases traction in the back end of the vehicle.
Skidsteer Plowing Snow
Skid-steers are extremely maneuverable and versatile snow removal machines- they turn on a dime and can plow in both directions without having to back up. They excel when plowing shorter driveways or drives with garage doors that are found at Cleveland area homeowner association properties, condos and in self storage situations. This ability to easily plow in both directions also increases safety, with much better visibility of always moving forward instead of having to constantly back up. Skid-steers will produce extra down pressure for removing ice and hard pack snow when plowing both forward and when back dragging stubborn snow. With all the wet, heavy snow storms that Cleveland gets, snow and ice can build up on surfaces and can be difficult to remove with just the weight of the snow plow or snow pusher. The hydraulics of the skid-steer can force down the weight of the machine to increase down pressure well above what a plow or snow pusher can provide alone. Due to the volume of snow that can build up during a typical Cleveland winter, there may be a need to completely remove snow from properties. The Skid-steer can use its front loader bucket for stacking snow and also for loading other vehicles to remove snow from the commercial property. It's great at both plowing and also stacking snow when space is limited. Skid steers will stack much higher than pickup trucks because of their front loader arms can rise well above the plow height on a truck.
Loader Removing Snow
H&M Snow Pros provides snow removal for Cleveland area parking lots. When winter snows are heavy and prolonged, there may be a need to remove and haul away snow from commercial properties. The Cleveland area recieves anywhere from 60 to 100 inches of snow every year and it can come in a short period of time. Snow can usually be stacked up into large piles on unused areas on the site. When these piles start to take up too much space, snow will need to be hauled away to keep driveways and parking spaces available to the business. There is also the issue of melt water run off that can accumulate and freeze, causing hazardous conditions to employees and patrons.
The wheel loader is able to quickly remove snow from growing piles and load dump trucks for disposal off site. The operator of the loader sits high above the ground and has an excellent view of surounding obstacles. This is typically done after hours to maximize safety and minimize disruption to the business. If your property is in need of snow removal services, give H&M Snow Pros a call today and we will get you a free quote to remove snow from your Cleveland area property.
ATV Sidewalk Plowing
All terrain vehicles (ATVs), such as four wheelers, are an ideal platform for mounting smaller snow plows and salt spreaders. They are primarily used for snow removal duties on our Cleveland area sidewalks, near buildings and in other tight areas. ATVs are normally equipped with a 4 foot plow, making them very maneuverable with the ability to get between sites very quickly. A rear mounted salt spreader improves efficiency allowing plowing and application of de-icer all in one pass. While not as comfortable as enclosed cab snow removal equipment, they offer an unobstructed view which improves safety in high traffic areas.
Four wheelers do best with lighter, uncompacted snows as they are lightweight vehicles with limited snow pushing ability. However,4-wheel drive models offer increased traction and pushing power to remove heavy Cleveland snow. When time counts, these machines can get through a lot of snow very quickly and using one sure beats shoveling!

Salt Spreader Truck
Cleveland area weather changes fast and it can be a challenge to plan snow plowing and salt spreading operations. There is a balance between efficient and timely snow removal services, environmental impacts and the safety and accessibility of a commercial property. Traffic volume, blowing and drifting snow, snow melt/refreeze cycles and freezing rain can cause ice build-up and lead to vehicle accidents and slip & falls. Snow plowing can be very hard on equipment and sometimes it's better to use a dedicated salt truck and let the deicing process do the work. We put a lot of thought and planning into plow timing and salting schedules to keep Cleveland area parking lots safe for your customers and employees.
Salt is normally kept in large salt bins to keep it dry and contained. A wheel loader is used to fill the bed of the trucks which feed a rear mounted salt spreader that broadcasts deicer to where it's needed. The speed of the vehicle, broadcast area, gate settings and auger/conveyor speeds all effect the rate of application. Our equipment is correctly calibrated to put down the optimal amount of salt depending on temperatures, rate of snow fall and consistency of snow. There are many different types of deicer used for ice control and they must be chosen for specific weather conditions, temperatures, and to minimize environmental impacts. Pre-salting, or anti-icing treatment, is a proactive way to keep lots clear and ice free. It reduces the amount of salt needed to minimize material costs and adverse effects to the environment. While salt is a great deicer, it can cause accelerated corrosion and it needs to be washed off to keep snow removal equipment in top shape. With over 30 years of experience, H&M is well versed in all aspects of snow and ice removal. Call us today for a free assessment of your Cleveland area commercial location.
Snow Blower Spreader
Snow blowers are a great way to remove snow from Cleveland area sidewalks and other narrow surfaces. This is a specialized tractor with front mounted snow blower and rear broadcast spreader for applying de-icer. This is very efficient as snow is removed and salt spread all in on one pass. The tractor features all wheel drive, flexframe with articulated steering, fully enclosed cab and other quick change attachments such as snow plows and snow brooms. The 2-stage snow blower is able to remove and deposit snow up to 40 feet away in any direction, eliminating unsightly snow piles that can reduce visibility during our prolonged Cleveland winter. The tractor platform features a center articulating and oscillating frame which gives it a tight turning radius and the ability to twist- always keeping the wheels in contact with the ground for increased traction and operator comfort. The enclosed heated cab also keeps the snow operator comfortable- offering many features to improve all weather visibility and increase overall safety.

Dump Truck Plowing Snow
Heavy snowfalls in the Cleveland area can be a challenge to keep up with. Sometimes it's more efficient to wait until the bulk of the snow has fallen and plow when snows are deeper. Traffic volume, the company's hours, blowing and drifting snow, and the most recent Cleveland area forecasts are considered when determining timing of snow plowing services. Snow plowing heavy snow buildup can be hard on lighter equipment and sometimes it's better to use a large dump truck which has more weight and traction to deal with heavy snow.
Dump trucks also serve double duty as salt speaders. The extra weight of the salt in the back of the dump helps with traction and the ability to move wet, heavy snow that Cleveland will often see. In extreme storm conditions, dump trucks can haul snow away from areas that can no longer hold growing snow piles. A front end wheel loader or backhoe loader can fill the bed of a dump truck in short order to transport excess snow off the property to make room for new snow piles. This is very usefull when the property has run out of room and a more snow is predicted in next Cleveland area forcast. An experienced snow management company can make critical decisions regarding snow removal. Reach out to us today for a no obligation snowplowing estimate for your commercial property this winter.
