Do More With Less
The Mandate for Snow Removal
Innovations in snow removal equipment have helped a New England company clear more snow with significantly less equipment, labor, maintenance, and repair.
Many snow removal businesses base their decision on acquiring snow plow or pusher attachments on the initial cost, overlooking long-term expenses, improved efficiency, quality of clearing, and the potential to secure additional projects.
When considering these factors, the optimal return on investment is achieved through the utilization of adaptable and agile attachments, even if the upfront expenditure is a little higher.
According to Degen Kelly, director of Operations at Outdoor Pride, a Manchester, NH-based company that generates approximately $13 million in annual revenue from snow removal services, it is tempting to focus on the lower initial purchase cost or to simply order the same attachments other companies use.

However, for the greatest overall returns, more attention should be given to the ROI that higher quality attachments provide.
These attachments offer more flexible choices that allow a variety of movements in tight spaces, while adding to the value of skid steers, which are specifically designed to be nimble.
