At the 2024 SIMA Snow & Ice Symposium in Pittsburgh, Western Products, a premier manufacturer of snow and ice control equipment, unveiled three exciting additions to its product lineup: the PRO-PLOW™ 3 Straight Blade Snowplow, the PILE DRIVER™ XL Hydraulic Wing Pusher Plow, and the MARAUDER™ Poly Hopper Spreader.

The PRO-PLOW 3 Snowplow marks Western Products’ first foray into stainless steel straight blade models. Designed with a 70-degree attack angle and high-carbon steel cutting edge, this professional-grade plow offers durability and easy maintenance. It is available with the WESTERN POWER BAR for added structural reinforcement and comes in either an ULTRAFINISH™ powder coat or stainless steel finish.
The PILE DRIVER XL Hydraulic-Wing Pusher Plow, available in widths ranging from 8′ to 16′, features 3′ hydraulic, independent wings that allow for 180-degree variable wing placement. This design enables the plow to scoop, stack, and maneuver through various obstacles efficiently. Its independent cutting edge sections and wing sections ensure consistent plowing performance by adjusting to surface contours and obstacles, thereby enhancing scraping performance and reducing the need for post-treatment salt.
The MARAUDER Poly Hopper Spreader, available in 1.5 and 2.2 cubic yard capacities, offers two delivery system options: the pintle chain for heavy materials and the HELIXX™ shaftless auger for precise rock salt application. Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant polyethylene, the spreader features an extended-chute design for smooth material flow with minimal leakage. The Tri-Shield Pre-wet and Direct Liquid Application System can be added for spreading, pre-wetting, or spraying, increasing the spreader’s versatility.
“Adding pre-wetting and direct application capabilities with Tri-Shield enhances versatility,” said Seth Bergerud, CSP, Parts & Accessories Product Manager for Western Products. “It allows contractors to optimize material usage and deliver superior service under any conditions.”
Erin Hunt, Snow Control Product Manager for Western Products, expressed enthusiasm about the new offerings, stating, “SIMA is the perfect platform to introduce our innovative products. Our goal is to equip our customers with high-quality, technology-driven solutions to help them complete their work efficiently and safely.”
