Western Products, manufacturer of Western snow removal and ice control equipment, introduces the new Western Defender compact snowplow. The Defender is designed specifically to fit mid-size pickups and SUVs.
It features a high-strength, low-weight, alloy-steel blade, which is stronger and lighter than conventional steel. Six vertical ribs reinforce the blade, deliver exceptional torsional strength and eliminate blade twisting. A full-trip moldboard helps protect the plow and truck when encountering hidden obstacles.
“We wanted to give consumers a true Western experience by providing a strong, effective plow, and that's what the Defender is,” said Doug Clark, product manager of Western Products. “Just because you're plowing your own property doesn't mean you can't do it like a pro.”
New to all Western plows in 2017—including the Defender compact plow—are brighter, dual-bulb Nighthawk halogen headlamps. Their longer beam pattern improves visibility, and the improved mounting system absorbs shock and vibration better.
The Defender snowplow is packed with other features, including:
- 5" hardened-steel cutting edge, providing long-lasting performance and a clean scrape
- Scrape Lock, which provides the scraping performance of a larger plow without the extra weight
- Choice between CabCommand hand-held or joystick controls
