- After having tested the Soft-Plow system on a snow plow last winter,
we have decided to implement this new technology on 30 of our snow removal
trucks in our fleet. The efficiency of this new device is extraordinary.
We are thoroughly pleased with it

- This suspension system is fantastic. It allows for an incredible
smoothness in the ride, and that’s without mentioning all the savings we get in vehicle maintenance.

W. Côté & Fils Ltd, the largest Canadian manufacturer of snow removal equipment and an industry leader
in North America, has developed a new and revolutionary suspension system.
This super-smooth system - called Soft-Plow - has been designed to absorb the shocks which
occur during moving maneuvers with the snow blade in its upright position.
In this application, the hoist which is attached to the front harness of the truck is
bolted to two accumulators filled with compressed nitrogen that allow a travel of three inches (76.2 mm). |

- This system prevents jolts from the snowplow, thus reducing operator
fatigue.
We will certainly install it in our existing fleet and on all future
units.

Here are some of the benefits of this new revolutionary system :
|
 |
 An unprecedented smoothness of ride.
Reduces impacts on the vehicle chassis.
Stabilizes the truck in sudden starts and stops.
Minimizes vehicle vibrations.
A more enjoyable ride for the operator.
Reduces wear on the front tires and suspension.
Reduces wear and tear on the axles and the steering system.
|
And, best of all, it reduces the operator's stress level and fatigue,
allowing him to go about his work in a much more quiet, enjoyable and controllable way.
This suspension system can be installed on all Côté products, as well as on most of our competitor's harnesses.
