During the winter, snow can be a massive problem for businesses and homeowners alike. When the snow starts falling, parking lots and steep driveways can become slippery and impassable. Clearing these large areas can be difficult as well as dangerous for the average person. For this reason, the best way to get the job done is with professional snow removal services.
Commercial snow removal companies have the proper equipment to make short work of snow and ice. They have the necessary tools and know-how to clear property quickly and efficiently. Business owners as well as homeowners save time and effort by hiring professional snow removal companies.
When the weather clears, and there is a temporary break from frigid weather, snow removal professionals don’t always have a secure place to store their equipment.
Storing these items outside for several months can lead to damage and deterioration. Keeping your snow plow equipment in a portable storage unit leads to fewer problems and minimal repair costs.
Mobile Storage Solutions is the perfect solution to keep snow removal equipment safe and accessible.
Problems With Storing Snow Removal Equipment Outside
Plows
The plow’s electrical connections are likely to become damaged. This is typically caused by infiltration from moisture, pollen, and dust. Another problem is that the pins that mount the plow to the truck can become too tight to use. This is caused by expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. Finally, rust pits can form on the plow cylinders, decreasing resale value.
Salt Spreaders
Just as with plows, the electrical connections on the salt spreader can be destroyed by moisture, pollen, and dust. As a result, the chains, gears, and drive shafts get rusty, creating problems spreading salt.
Bags of Salt and Calcium
Even though some bags claim to be watertight, they may not be. If left outside for the long term, your salt and calcium will be ruined. If a large number of bags are destroyed, the loss can become costly.
The cost of portable storage for a few months is far less than the cost of repairing or replacing expensive equipment.
