This combination is designed for back-to-back commercial shifts. Providing extreme durability to withstand abrasive surfaces and shatter hard-packed snow and ice with ease. A carbide cutting edge accessory provides a clean scrape in the toughest conditions.

How much efficiency does the PRO PLUS® expansion wing accessory provide?

By adding 12” of width and 30% more carrying capacity to the PRO PLUS® straight blade plow, these expansion wings significantly reduce the number of passes needed to clear a lot. While exact time savings vary based on property type, vehicle, and operator technique, the increased efficiency allows you to move more snow in less time.

How do you install the PRO PLUS® straight blade expansion wings?

The installation instructions provide a step-by-step guide with visuals on how to install expansion wings for your PRO PLUS®.

Is there a poly cutting edge option for the PRO PLUS® straight blade plow?

No, a poly cutting edge is not currently part of the PRO PLUS® plow offering. It is designed as a heavy‑duty commercial plow and is engineered to use a steel cutting edge to deliver the durability and scraping performance contractors expect. However, the WESTERN product team will continue to evaluate options based on real‑world performance and customer needs.
