Buyers Products released the SnowDogg SuperJ plow, Rapid Link attachments on the full line of SnowDogg plows, a new truck toolbox and landscape racks.
Designed for urban or expressway use, the hydraulically reversible SnowJ plow features outboard angle cylinders that provide a tight turning radius to help operators navigate narrow streets and other cramped areas. The plow is available in 10-, 11- and 12-foot lengths with a UHMW polycarbonate, Tuff-Koted carbon steel or 304 stainless steel moldboard.
The plow pivots up to 35 degrees left or right from the bulldoze position to throw snow to either the driver or passenger side of the vehicle. A fully boxed A-frame spreads keeps the plow close to the truck for enhanced maneuverability and reduced strain on the vehicle’s front axle. The plow’s trip edge design protects the equipment from manhole covers and other hidden obstacles.
“The SuperJ is great for municipalities looking for an all-in-one solution,” said Frank Dickinson, manager of municipal sales at Buyers. “It works just as well in the city as it does on wide-open interstates. The J-curled blade controls drift to improve driver visibility, which is great when you’re plowing through deep snow at high speeds.”
New truck plows
The company will also unveil two new truck plows for the 2020/2021 season: the SnowDogg VXF105II and the XPII expanding wing plow.
The SnowDogg VXF105II is an extra-large V-blade that’s built to work with trucks through class 6. The XPII expands from an 8-foot- to 10-foot-wide scoop-position plow.
The VXF105II spans 10 feet 6 inches and ascends from 35 inches at center to 45 inches at edge. It features double-acting cylinders that empower the large plow to handle with nimble versatility. The XPII can push out its flared wings to clear a true 10 feet while remaining in a full scoop position. Each wing can be operated separately for optimal windrowing and snow consolidation.
Both plows feature a standard 304 stainless steel blade and optional Illuminator heated LED lights.
RapidLink attachment system
The company is also upgrading its full line of SnowDogg snow plows to the RapidLink Attachment System.
The RapidLink Attachment System is designed so users can mount or dismount their plow quickly. Several features eliminate common headaches and make rapid action possible. A drop-leg and a hydraulically powered “jack switch” allow users to fine-tune their plows’ mounting height. These make it easy to compensate for uneven ground and change the mounting height on the fly to accommodate different trucks in a fleet.
All-new full-size SnowDogg plows including the VXFII, EXII and HDII lines, will feature the RapidLink Attachment System starting in the 2020/2021 snow season.
New crossover toolboxes
Buyers Products produced a revamped crossover truck toolbox for release at the 2020 NTEA Work Truck Show.
Built with professional contractors in mind, the toolboxes are designed to withstand harsh working conditions. Durable diamond tread and smooth aluminum are laser-cut, accurately formed and robotically welded to achieve a uniformly sturdy product. Buyers assembles the boxes using components like automotive-grade gasket seals, tamper-resistant stainless steel push-button locks and continuous hidden hinges.
The all-new design features full-open lids with soft-open gas shocks that provide a smooth operating experience. Other new perks include a standard oversized steel tray with dividers, built-in tool slots and a level holder. The toolboxes offer users a highly customizable way to store and organize tools.
The new crossover toolboxes will be available later this spring in various sizes and finishes including natural, black and textured matte black.
The company also expanded its line of racks and accessories for landscape trailers.
The line is focused on simple-to-use racks with minimal out-of-the-box assembly. Highlights include an “all-in-one” storage solution that leaves the floor below it open for riding mowers. It includes a basket with space for gas cans and loose items, a rack for blowers, a trimmer line holder and an optional rack for hand tools. Other features include a lockable blower rack, a lockable “multirack” for chainsaws or hedge trimmers and multiple sizes of trimmer racks.
