Manitou Skid Steers/Track Loaders with Attachments Offer Power andVersatility for Efficient Snow Removal

Manitou offers a full line of small, medium and large skid steers and track loaders that provide the power to increase load capacity, the reliability to keep jobsites up and running — and the versatility of a range of
attachments that can turn a single machine into a multi-use one. Plus, their machines and attachments help lower the total cost of ownership by providing quality results with minimal maintenance and repairs.

Along with attachments for earthmoving, debris removal, landscaping and construction for its skid steers
and track loaders, Manitou offers attachments that make quick, efficient work of snow removal. Each has
been designed with innovation, durability and ease-of-use in mind.

Standard and Heavy-Duty Snow Blades

Manitou standard and heavy-duty snow blades feature a floating frame that allows for 8 degrees total of
side-to-side oscillation (4 degrees side to side) to clear uneven surfaces in a single pass. The forward
weighted design maintains the edge weight for quick snow removal. Both powder-coated blades can be
angled 30 degrees left or right from inside the cab, while quick-adjust AR400 skid pads allow for blade
height changes without tools.

The standard blade (60 to 96 inches wide) uses a single hydraulic design to control the blade angle. The
heavy-duty blade (84 to 120 inches wide) features two hydraulic cylinders for this function, plus a protected crossover valve to prevent damage from impacts. A spring-loaded trip edge further protects the attachments and machine, while the 5/8-inch x 8-inch reversible steel bolt-on edge of the blades allows for 5-½ inches extended wear.

Snow Blowers

Manitou offers its dual motor snow blowers in three models. The Pro snow blower attachment is available
in 60 to 84 inches with a standard flow of 16 to 25 gpm, while the Commercial models are available with a high flow of 25 to 33 gpm or an ultra-high flow of 33 to 42 gpm; both are available in 72 or 84 inches.

Each model offers 270-degree hydraulic chute rotation with cab deflector control, plus a 3/16-inch fan housing to reduce distortion. To withstand wear, these snow blower attachments feature a Grade 50 steel shell and chute construction; a gusseted, reinforced upper and lower attachment bracket; and guarded valves and electrical components.
A 5/8-inch reversible steel bolt on edge, and adjustable and reversible poly skid shoes further extend the
attachments’ lifespan.

Standard and Low-Profile Snow Pushes

Manitou designed its standard and low-profile snow pushes to provide quick, clean snow removal over
uneven surfaces, which is made possible by the forward-weighted design and 4 degrees of side-to-side
oscillation. Available in heights ranging from 84 to 120 inches, these powder-coated snow pushes feature reinforced box end plates, along with a 1-½ x10-inch reversible rubber edge that prevents surface damage and provides 6 inches of total wear. Vertical steel stiffening ribs add to the durability and lifespan of the attachments, as do reversible, self-leveling AR400 skid shoes.

Hydraulic Spreader

The Manitou hydraulic spreader is engineered to efficiently scoop and disperse salt and sand after snow
removal takes place. This attachment features an 18″ spreader wheel and manual, adjustable gates that
allow operators to set the range of dispersion from 29 inches up to 28 feet, making it ideal for sidewalks,
parking lots or roads, and can carry up to 8 cubic feet of salt or sand. A steel wheel agitator with
replaceable paddles keeps free-flowing materials separate, and the formed steel spreader box resists
cracking or breaking in freezing temperatures. The hydraulic spreader also includes a heavy-duty top grate with 3-inch square openings. A built-in base allows for safe vertical storage.

Bulk Material/Snow Bucket

Manitou’s bulk material/snow buckets for skid steers and track loaders are another great option for
removing and piling snow. Features include reinforced quick attach brackets, added wear bars to protect
the bottom of the bucket for extended life, mesh windows or slotting to improve visibility, vertical bracing for added rigidity, and a powder coated finish to protect your investment from salt and the elements. Available options measure from 60 to 98 inches and offer a heaped capacity up to 80 cubic feet.
