Get Ready for Winter with Hilltip’s New SnowStriker SFT Flex Expandable Box Plow

It’s inevitable — winter is coming. To prepare, Hilltip just introduced the SnowStriker SFT Flex expandable box plow. It’s a versatile snow removal solution designed for tractors, loaders and skid steers from 1 to 4 tons. The company said the new plow combines the containment and productivity of a box plow with hydraulically extendable sections that allow operators to adapt the clearing width to changing conditions and applications on the go.

“Compared with other box plows, the SFT Flex offers unmatched versatility for use in a wider range of winter maintenance applications,” said Craig Sandmann, managing director for Hilltip North America. “Nothing else offers the same level of efficiency and precision with every pass.”

Hilltip noted the SFT Flex is available in three sizes:

• The smallest provides an adjustable clearing width from 4 ft, 3 in. to 6 ft, 11 in.
• The mid-range model adjusts from 4 ft, 11 in. to 8 ft, 2 in.
• The largest model ranges from 5 ft, 11 in. to 9 ft, 6 in.

The company added that this flexibility allows operators to narrow the plow for tighter spaces or expand it for more productive clearing of larger driveways, yards and open parking areas. Hilltip designed the blade to tilt and oscillate as it moves over uneven ground, helping maintain contact with the surface for a cleaner scrape.

Hilltip also shared these other options:

• LED edge markers
• custom mountings
• a 12V/24V electric valve
• a plow shoe kit
• a four-line hydraulic system
• high-visibility orange paint

While the SFT Flex box plow is made from high-strength, powder-coated steel, it still remains light weight and compatible with a wide range of equipment. For example, model 13-21 SFT weighs 816 lbs, model 15-25 SFT weighs 1,080 lbs and model 18-29 SFT weighs 1,190 lbs. Hilltip said the SFT Flex is backed by a two-year warranty.
