Reliable DC Vibrators Boost Profits for Snow & Ice Removal
By Katy Sabo
Operators waste valuable time manually freeing clumped rock salt out of their spreaders when an automated solution, like DC Vibrators, is available.
Over 70% of U.S. roads are located in snowy regions that experience more than 5 inches of snowfall yearly.
The national average snow removal costs and salt application for private homeowners/business entities were approximately $150/service date. Snow Plowing Forum suggests it typically takes to plow an average driveway is 10-15 minutes. *It should be noted that these numbers can fluctuate based on geographic location, weather severity factors, and individual location needs.
If we took a quick look at theoretical numbers, it would indicate that snow and ice removal businesses could make ~$720/hr. (~12.5 minutes/service x $150). What if one or two minutes per service were used to promote the flow of salt from the spreader hopper manually? This could result in a profit loss between 8% to 19% per hour, the worst-case scenario.
