Tow Plow Alternative

Submitted by: St. Louis District

Innovation Description and Benefit:

This innovation consists of outfitting XHD trucks with 14’ mid mount wing as an alternative to tow plows.  It is safer and easier to operate a wing plow versus tow plows during inclement weather.  By switching to this method there has been a reduction in maintenance time and cost.  To be able to operate now only requires Class B CDL versus a Class A license for tow plows.
