Many states have studied the concept of using TowPLows. There are several comprehensive studies/reports available. Over 600 TowPLows now provide benefits in over 30 other states and provinces.

The TowPLow truck combination outperforms all other designs in highway applications while dramatically reducing costs when compared to using two trucks and operators. The Viking-Cives combinations can clear two lanes during winter operations. Veteran wing plow operators readily and easily transition to become TowPLow operators.

Mar 17, 2014 · A tow plow is a steerable trailer-mounted plow that is pulled behind a snowplow truck, just like the name indicates. The tow plow can be rotated to one side of the truck, which …

The Bi-Directional TowPLow provides all the combined benefits of the left and right-hand TowPLows with additional benefits. The design allows an operator to plow all snow down wind, plowing all snow from two lanes to the left or right, or placing the windrow downwind.

Why were TowPLows invented? The TowPLow was created to allow the "champion" operators to do more without having to work harder, providing improved productivity; actually doing more with less capital investment, less fuel and less time.

are better to pull TowPlows. Most trucks that pull TowPlows are tandem axle plow trucks with a minimum of 350 hp and available hydraulic circuits to operate the TowPlow. Some states use a horsepower rating and torque of 450 hp and 1650 torque. The cooling package will match the engine. Some states increase the hydraulic pump size and have

TowPLows are being used to clear: Urban multi lane expressways and interstates. Congested urban areas with left turn lanes, islands and commercial entrances. Rural high speed divided highways. Climbing lanes as the truck plows the first pass through the area. Alternating passing lane routes, eliminating the need for a second truck.

The TowPlow reduces the number of vehicles required to clear a given roadway. In turn, this means less fuel use and a lower carbon footprint per cycle or weather event.
