Hilltip has introduced the SnowStriker SFT Flex expandable box plow, a versatile snow removal solution designed for tractors, loaders, and skid steers from one to four tons. 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.

Three Size Options Available

Hilltip said the SFT Flex is available in three sizes:

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

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.

Blade Tilts & Oscillates

The blade is designed to tilt and oscillate as it moves over uneven ground, helping maintain contact with the surface for a cleaner scrape.

For added versatility, the SFT Flex's hydraulically actuated side plates can be folded independently, allowing the unit to act as a conventional straight-blade plow and roll snow to either side. Relief valves allow the side plates to trip if an obstacle is hit to help prevent damage to the attachment.

Edge Options Available

Steel, ice-cutting, and polyurethane cutting-edge options are available to accommodate various applications. Other options include LED edge markers, custom mountings, a 12V/24V electric valve, a plow shoe kit, a four-line hydraulic system, and high-visibility orange paint.

Made from High-Strength Steel

The SFT Flex is made from high-strength, powder-coated steel for high durability, while remaining lighter weight. The three models weigh 816 (model 13-21 SFT), 1,080 (model 15-25 SFT) and 1,190 pounds (model 18-29 SFT), making them compatible with a wide range of equipment.

“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.”

The SFT Flex is backed by a two-year warranty.
