Stock Up on Snow Plow Replacement Parts Now So You Can

Stay Up and Running All Season Long

Winter weather is hard on snow removal equipment, and the last thing you want to deal with in the middle of a blizzard is an equipment breakdown. That’s why your pre-winter prep plan needs to include stocking up on the replacement parts that are most likely to get worn out during the season – and that are critical to keeping your plows on the road.

Evaluate Your Equipment Before the Snow Hits

In order to avoid getting caught off-guard by the first big storm, it’s important to conduct a thorough inspection of your snow plow equipment at least a few months before the start of the new season. Consult the maintenance guidelines in your plows’ operating manuals. If any equipment is due for repair or replacement, make sure to address it now to ensure all of your equipment is fully ready for operation. Throughout the season, be sure to perform regular inspections and any necessary maintenance and repairs to keep your equipment operating at peak performance.

4 Essential Replacement Parts for Your Western Fleet Flex Pro Plus Plow

Now is the time to purchase the most useful replacement parts you’ll need when the weather wears out your equipment. If you, your business or your municipality uses Western’s Fleet Flex Pro Plus plows, Plow Parts Direct carries all of the essential replacement parts you’ll need to be ready for what winter dishes out.

Hydraulic Hoses

Hydraulic hoses are one of the most important plow parts to keep on hand. Because they allow you to control and angle your plow, hydraulic hoses are one of the most crucial components of your plow – and also one of the parts most susceptible to damage. Our team recommends purchasing our custom Hose Kit, which contains all of the hoses used with Fleet Flex Pro Plus plows.

Snow Plow Controls

Every operator knows that snow plow controls can wear out from over-use, so put everyone’s mind at ease by stashing a back-up controller on your shelf or in your truck. Western’s new Hand Held Plow Controller 35500 features a 4-pin connector and works with all Western Fleet Flex plows. (This controller has now replaced the Western 96500 controller.)

Angle Piston Rams and Plow Shoe Kits

Other must-have replacement parts to stock up on include Angle Piston Rams for Pro Plus plows and Heavy Duty Plow Shoe Kits that can be used on all Western Pro and Pro Plus plows.

Don’t Forget About the Safety and Comfort of your Plow Operator or Crew

Help them weather any situation by stocking your truck with basic tools like a hammer, screwdriver and socket set, as well as safety equipment including a flashlight, flares, jumper cables, tow strap, lock deicer, a bag of sand or salt, first aid kit, blanket, and extra clothing.
