Pro-Tech Manufacturing and Distribution debuted the Sno Basket, a lightweight bucket that allows for easy loading and hauling of snow, the company said.
“The decision to offer the Sno Basket was driven by our product development team’s research and demand from customers,” said Jered Shuknecht, Pro-Tech marketing director. “With the significant snow accumulations many customers are seeing and growing traffic on retail properties, we knew a product like this would be welcomed.”
The Sno Basket, which is designed for stock backhoe and compact wheel loader baskets, features a flat-bottomed design, built to offer maximum snow collection and capacity. It also comes with a replaceable steel cutting edge.
The slots on the bucket are designed to compress and collect the maximum amount, while allowing water to escape when moving slushy snow, Pro-Tech said. Eliminating water in the bucket eliminates weight in the bucket and truck bed.
The Sno Basket is built using fully welded construction and multiple connection types are available.
