Automatically Navigates Peaks And Depressions

No pavement is perfectly flat, so unless your cutting edge is flexible, you’re leaving snow behind. The independent cutting edge sections of the AdvantEdge™ help the blade to contour to the shape of any surface. The more snow you can remove during your plowing operations, the less salt and sand usage you’ll have.

Hardox® Steel

Each 18″ or 24″ cutting edge section is milled from the proprietary Hardox of wear-plate, common to the mining industry for abrasion resistance and strength. Compared to carbide cutting edges, Hardox is not as brittle, and does not require any additional backing plates.

• Better than AR, the 5/8” thick AdvantEdge blades will outlast AR 2:1, and your standard 1084 High Carbon edges 4:1.

Steel Cutting Edges Flex In Sections

The very nature of the AdvantEdge reduces premature wear of your cutting edges because of the even pressure across the entire edge. The edge is instantly contouring to every surface, and adjusting so that the plow is not grinding away on peaks, and wearing the center or edges faster than the rest.

• Independent and consistent pressure across the cutting edge creates consistent wear across the blade.
• Reduces premature replacement due to crowning and gutter wear.

Pressure Adjustable Encapsulated Design

This patented design give yous the flexibility to adjust the pressure on each section, so that whatever the weight of the plow, you can obtain just the right amount of preload. Each section of the AdvantEdge is equipped with multiple 120 lb/inch die springs. You will use a simple calculation to determine just the right quantity of springs for your particular plow weight and width. AdvantEdge uses a closed face design reducing the impact that salt, sand, and ice can have. Each section is completely covered by the cutting edge, which is easily replaced by removing two bolts. If you ever need internal access to replace or add springs, simply remove the cutting edge.

American Made Patent Pending Design

Not only is KAGE Innovation innovating the snow removal industry, but we are manufacturing those innovations at a high quality and process standard that you would expect from an American Made manufacturing company. All of the sliding components of the AdvantEdge are milled out of 1045 steel and case hardened for abrasion, corrosion, and lubricity. The final assembly is then completely assembled and shipped, ready to install on your new or existing plow! All mounting hardware necessary for installation is included.

Reduces Damage To Plowed Surfaces

Large pit on asphalting highway. Your operators try to clean the lots their best – and sometimes in an effort to clean “down to blacktop” they will just push harder. This operator enthusiasm doesn’t do much for removing the snow, but the asphalt, concrete, and other embeds feel the extra pressure of that steel as it grinds everything down. The AdvantEdge reduces the damage to curbs, asphalt/concrete transitions all while scraping better! It’s truly a win/win for you and your customers.

Overview

Each Kit is comprised of various Segment lengths to achieve the proper combined length of the overall plow. Each Segment comprises the nominal size Backing Plate, and Cutting Edge Sections + Hardware. Cutting Edge Sections and Hardware are then bolted to the Backing Plate. All Backing Plates have several different bolt patterns built in to allow ‘universal’ mounting to almost any plow or pusher. The Backing Plates also feature two rows of bolt hole options to allow for different mounting heights.  Choose from 2, 3, 4, and 5 foot Segments, or order as one complete Kit. Ordering is easy, and any standard length of plow, trip edge and trip moldboard type can be accommodated.

Mounting Heights

SS and SF represent the two different mounting heights for the backing plates. SS has 1.5″ Stick Up, and SF has 3.5″ Stick Up. Every backing plate has both options, it’s simply a matter of how you bolt it up!

Segment Build

Each Segment is made up of the nominal size Backing Plate, and 1 or more Cutting Edges and Sectional Hardware pictured below.

Order By Complete Kit

You can order the AdvantEdge by the kit. A kit will come with all of the Segments necessary for your particular plow. Simply determine the overall length of your blade, and if you have a split trip edge. Once you have that information, you are ready to order!

• It is necessary to have standard highway punch, OR 12″ O.C. bolt spacing.
• If your plow has a split trip edge, you should order your new AdvantEdge by segment rather than a complete Kit.
• Determine that your plow has adequate Stick Up clearance so that the Backing Plate does not interfere with your moldboard.
• Common Kit sizes range from 8′ (comes with two 4′ Segments), 10′ (comes with two 5′ Segments), 14′ (comes with two 5′ segments and one 4′ segment). Many other kit configurations are available!

Order By Segment

You can order your new AdvantEdge by adding individual Segments (Backing Plates) together to achieve your desired length. Order by Segment when your plow has a split trip edge. Determine the overall length of each trip edge section if your plow has a split trip edge. With that information you’re ready to order!

• It is necessary to have standard highway punch, or 12″ O.C. bolt spacing.
• Determine that your plow has adequate Stick Up clearance so that the Backing Plate does not interfere with your moldboard.
• Choose between 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ segments to obtain the desired overall length.

Front And Wing Blade Flex Edge System

Until now, sectional plows and cutting edges have only been available on a few brands of plows. The AdvantEdge makes it possible to harness sectional cutting edge technology on almost any plow or pusher available on the market today!

Extenders

Optional Extenders can bridge the gap of fraction sizes, or between the end plates of your pusher.
