Arctic｜HMK

High manoeuvrability is necessary when plowing any roads, and the HMK  snow plough meets that requirement perfectly. The swiveling angle of the plough can be adjusted steplessly during snow ploughing.

The robust HMK snow plough wing is made of strong steele with good chemical and corrosion resistance and excellent abrasion and wear characteristics. Together with ultra-strong steel framing, the plough wing is resistant to extreme longitudinal and lateral forces, creating a major safety factor and long product lifecycle.The HMK has a diagonal structure for raising up and handling snow far from the road surface, even at low speeds. The flexible plough blade consists of 4-5 sections which follow the road surface individually, ensuring a perfect cleaning result.

The T2 second cutting edge is designed for highly efficient wet snow and slush removal. It is activated with double function hydraulic cylinders and follows the road surface in addition to the main cutting edge. The T2 is divided into sections which can follow the road surface individually, with a perfect finishing result, which significantly reduces the need for salt to melt the rest of the snow. The T2 cutting edge pressure is factory-adjusted so the driver can focus on working at any speed, without worrying about raising the main cutting edge.

The iFlex Flexible Blades act as overload protection and are made of polyurethane with a longitudinal elongation coefficient of 300%. In the event of a collision, the spring blades bend backwards and lift the snow plough slightly to go around the obstacle before returning to their working position. All this happens even without the need to support the snow plough with feet or wheels. iFlex is completely maintenance-free.

The iFlex flexible blade enables clean and quiet ploughing, reducing environmental noise in residential areas and allowing work to be carried out at night without disturbance.

The HMK's lifting device has a parallelogram design with vertical, horizontal and cross supports. All joints have bronze bearings with grease nipples and black nitrated pin and are 90mm thick for extra strength and a longer working life. The plough has one powerful lifting cylinder and two synchronized swiveling cylinders, with safety valve.
The whole lifting device acts as a safety device in the event of an accident by absorbing the impact, thereby protecting the road maintenance truck.

The plough wing turns 42° left and right with the help of two double-acting cylinders which have connection points to the power frame at the bottom of the wing. This provides the best pushing force while maintaining the stability of the snow plough in use.

The HMK has rubber protection stones both left and right, helping it to operate near guard rails on highways without risk of damage.

The snow visor is made from robust and flexible polyurethane and continues the wing cylinder shape. It helps to roll snow inside the wing and eject it fast using aerodynamic forces. This prevents snow obscuring the driver’s windscreen and mirrors, making ploughing safe and comfortable.
A stainless steel snow handling plate improves snow rotation in the wing still further to keep it clear.

The HMK has a variety of different attachment plates for different markets so that it can operate effectively with a wide variety of trucks, tractors, and wheel loaders.
