Snow pushers have evolved into one of the most common tools for doing snow removal with skid steers, wheel loaders, backhoes, and other equipment. The Kage System fixes all of the common problems with snow pushers, while keeping the design simple and with few moving parts. Keep It Simple Stupid, is a raw, yet important rule our design team lives by. Kage Innovation relies on mixing together old and time – proven technology, with new ideas, and boiling them down in a pot called ‘real value’.

Snow Pusher With A Heavy Duty Steel Trip Edge

When Kage first invented the Kage ‘snow pusher’, better known as the Kage System, we didn’t try to re-invent the wheel with the trip edge. With our KISS principle at the front of our minds we ask “why fix something that isn’t broken?”. This deterred us from trying to make something overly complicated. For instance a ‘live’ trip edge where the sections move up and down independent of each other similar to what Metal Pless or Avalanche have created. Or, a design similar to what Arctic Sectional uses with individual moldboard sections that move up and down to follow contours. Does that stuff really offer value? Over time extra maintenance and headaches due to more moving parts, failures related to operator error, manufacturing defects, warranty issues, or just ‘acts of God’ can really decrease the overall value that is perceived. The Kage System uses the trip edge mechanism that is as time-tested as it gets. This steel trip edge has been used by plow manufacturers for years.

Snow Pusher That Oscillates Over Contours

When you are trying to overcome a problem with a piece of equipment, or designing a new product, it is helpful to see how other people have tried to address the same or similar issues. This gives you a huge jump start on your design. We have used many of the popular brands of equipment out there, and seen what we like and what we don’t like about particular designs. Snow pusher oscillation is a very important feature, and how it performs is vital to operator efficiency and safety. Again, our oscillation design is the result of time – tested design features combined with new and innovative ideas, boiled down in the pot called ‘real value’.
