Blizzards and heavy snowfall have historically affected many states, especially in the Northeast and Midwest of the USA. Winter storms occur throughout the country, but the so-called “Snowbelt,” which stretches across the Great Lakes from Minnesota to Maine, bears the brunt of winter storms.
Cities like Buffalo, New York City, Milwaukee, as well as large areas of Pennsylvania, Detroit, Ohio, and New Jersey, experience snowfall that often leaves residents trapped in knee- or waist-deep snow.
One industry particularly affected by such conditions is the transportation and logistics sector. Operating and maintaining a large fleet of trucks is a challenge for fleet owners—especially in winter when snow and ice complicate operations. This is where trailer roof snow removal becomes a time-consuming, costly, and dangerous process.
Modern snow removal machines like the Durasweeper ST-200, developed and manufactured in Europe, offer an efficient, safe, and economical solution. The system has proven itself in the European market and is now also being successfully deployed in the USA – an important step for a product that combines innovation and reliability.
On average, it takes more than 30 minutes to manually remove the layer of snow from the roof of a truck trailer. In addition to downtime, there are high costs for labor and equipment. Furthermore, most trailer roofs are not walkable, and OSHA regulations prohibit access for safety reasons. In this context, removing snow from trailer roofs using conventional methods poses a significant risk.
Thanks to Durasweeper’s European solution, these problems are a thing of the past. With the Durasweeper ST-200, the entire layer of snow can be removed from a trailer roof in just 30 seconds – a time saving of over 90% compared to conventional snow removal. No downtime costs, no manual labor, and no more safety concerns.
A large Pennsylvania-based transport service provider, a long-time Durasweeper customer, has already recognized the benefits and added additional snow removal equipment to its fleet. The company’s Property Director reports:
“The design has proven highly successful and adapts to all sizes and heights of our transport equipment. We have used the snow removal equipment with great success during the harshest weather conditions. Our on-site technicians are well trained and operate the systems throughout the winter season. The units are reliable, low-maintenance, and cause no damage to trailer roofs.”
Durasweeper is proud to offer a European solution for trailer roof snow removal, which is now also reaching the American market. The company is setting new standards for efficiency, safety, and sustainability in transport logistics – both in Europe and the USA.
