Winter Equipment will expand into the contractor distribution and sales markets.
“For almost 30 years, innovation has led the development and direction of this company,” said Kent Winter, founder and CEO, Winter Equipment. “With the recent introduction of our indestructible plow markers and the enormous interest we saw from online and distributor channels, we made the decision to develop other products to help contractors.”
The contractor-targeted products include:
Plow markers: Made from galvanized steel aircraft cable, the markers provide visibility, rust protection and durability.
Plow systems: Sectional blades, guards and all needed equipment are sold as a single system.
- V-Plow Assembly: Designed to provide even wear and reduced downtime; and
- XTendor: A heavy-duty steel blade matched with carbide-reinforced PlowGuards for surviving rough roads and unseen obstructions.
WinterFlex: Styrene-butadiene flat rubber sections and a reversible design provide long-lasting blade usage and moldboard protection, sold in sections or rolls, with bolt holes punched to customer specifications.
Grade 8 hardware: A high class of imperial fasteners, grade 8 hardware is certified to meet the requirements of American Society for Testing and Materials grading.
Pusherbox shoes: Engineered to outlast standard shoes, the product provides one-man installation and in-field replacement and adjustment and features a design that allows for adjustment as wear occurs.
18-inch universal spinner: The spinners are built to outlast standard spinners for less downtime and greater performance.
“The common thread for all of our products has been input from customers,” Winter said. “I expect that to continue as our technical sales reps understand customers’ problem areas. In addition, our 3-D modeling capabilities and rapid prototyping allow us to quickly respond to the contractor market with new products.”
