In the construction business, it can be difficult to keep your crew busy through the winter months. While the warmer months are filled with projects and jobs that require a larger team, the work often dries up in the colder months, and both you and your employees are left looking for ways to make comparable income until the ground thaws. Many companies default to offering snow removal services since they already have the equipment and employees necessary. In today’s blog post from Wagner Used Equipment Co., we are going to discuss four Cat® machines that are ideal for snow removal services and can help keep your company busy all winter long.

Motor Graders
A Cat® motor grader is the perfect match for snow removal in the winter. These machines are built to cover long stretches of road both quickly and cost-efficiently. They can also be equipped with a number of different tools depending on your exact needs, including V-plows, snow blades, or snow wings. If you already own a motor grader, or you’re considering purchasing a new or used one for your business, it is one Cat® machine that can be beneficial to have on hand all year round.
Wheel Loaders
Cat® wheel loaders can move significant amounts of snow in a single pass with a bucket or plow attachment. They are ideal for snow removal services from parking lots to roadways and even airport runways. Wheel loaders are reliable, fuel-efficient, and versatile, making them an ideal piece of heavy equipment to have on hand for almost any construction business and can easily be adapted to a snow removal powerhouse when the temperatures begin to cool.
Backhoe Loaders
For companies that already own a backhoe loader, there are a number of different attachments available that are ideal for snow removal. Whether you’re offering residential snow removal services throughout your community or going after bigger game and looking to land some larger contracts with businesses in your area, backhoe loaders can push, lift, and move snow, making them an ideal machine for efficient and thorough snow removal.
Skid Steer Loaders
Cat® skid steers are extremely maneuverable, making them perfect for navigating smaller spaces. With the ability to push, pile, and lift snow, skid steers are great for snow removal in tighter parking lots. Additionally, they are quick and transmit high ground pressure, allowing them to travel quicker while keeping a good grip on the ground, a feature that is necessary for any snow removal machine.
