Snowplow Blade Changer
Submitted by: Kurt Farrell
This INDOT innovation makes snowplow maintenance safer and easier for winter operations crews. The snowplow blade changer is a specialized lifting device used to raise and lower cutting edges when installing or removing plow blades.
By taking on the weight of the blade, the tool eliminates the need for heavy manual lifting and reduces the risk of strain or injury. It also helps crews work more efficiently by allowing precise positioning of the blade during installation. This innovation supports safer working conditions and keeps INDOT’s snowplow fleet ready for winter weather.
