Every year, the winter weather challenges us with heavy snowfalls: cars get stuck in snow traps, and pedestrians risk injury when driving on slippery surfaces. That is why effective snow and ice removal is an important task that not only facilitates the movement of vehicles, but also ensures the safety of all citizens.

In this context, the Finnish company Hilltip sets new standards for cleaning pedestrian areas and roads from snow with the help of the latest snow removal equipment. In this article, we will talk about the features and features of the designdump Snowstriker VP-2100, as well as the nuances of installing it on a pickup truck.

About the manufacturer

Hilltip- is a leading European brand that produces equipment for winter road maintenance: scrapers, brushes,spreaders of road mixtures. The company's factory is located in Finland - a country where there is snow 6 months a year. Therefore, the manufacturer is well-versed in the technology of road cleaning in winter. Many years of experience in cleaning various surfaces from snow and ice prompted us to develop an effective technique that will work reliably even in harsh conditions.

Dump construction

The device has a V-shaped structure, designed specifically for installation on pickup trucks or SUVs.Heapmade of durable steel with a powder coating, equipped with polyurethane edges. This implementation allows you to maintain operational properties at a high level for many years.

The model is specially designed for use on SUVs and pickup trucks. The manufacturer also offers options for installation on ATVs, special vehicles, tractors and small trucks.

Packaging

For safe delivery, the dump is securely packed in a special structure that effectively protects the product from damage during transportation. The mounting parts and the control panel are packed in cardboard boxes with sealing material.

Components and principle of action

The set includes everything necessary for work:

• heap;
• 12/24 V power supply unit;
• cables for connection;
• fastening elements;
• control panel;
• detailed instructions for installation and use.

The power supply unit in a closed case, which works according to the electro-hydraulic principle, is responsible for the operation of the device. The pump pumps the liquid, creating the pressure needed to release the force. It is this energy that drives the equipment through the joystick for operating the equipment.

Management

Management is carried out using a special joystick, which is installed in the cabincar. The manipulator is powered by a cable and turned on by the ON/OFF switch.

There is a joystick on the front panel that allows you to control the blade up/down and left/right, as well as change the angle of inclination and wings of the device.

How to install a Hilltip dump

Hilltip dumpis installed in 3 stages:

1. To begin with, a metal frame is mounted behind the front bumper of the SUV using brackets.
2. Next, you need to connect the electrical parts for the possibility of controlling the device.
3. All that remains is to attach the blade itself to the car using a quick fastener.

The first 2 steps take several hours, these operations are performed once (after them, the vehicle is fully equipped with everything necessary to connect the dump).

The advantage of the model is the possibility of driving a car without a dump truck with a block. Equipment can be hitched only when needed using the Hilltip Quick Hitch system. The third step takes a few minutes and is repeated every time before the device works.

Additional services and accessories

By default, the snow removal device is gray, but if desired and for an additional fee, it can be painted orange to improve visibility. The company also offers additional deflectors that protect the windshield from snow and other small particles.
