Snowplow - snowplow

Japanese: 除雪自動車 - じょせつじどうしゃ(英語表記)snow‐plow
Snowplow - snowplow
A vehicle used to remove snow from roads. Snowplows are not used except in the winter when snow accumulates, and few are designed specifically for snow removal due to economic reasons. Snow removal equipment is installed on commonly used loading vehicles such as trucks and forklifts, and civil engineering vehicles such as tractors, shovel loaders, and motor graders, depending on the amount of snow that has accumulated. Depending on the method of snow removal, there are vehicles with plows that remove snow to the side, rotary snowplows that throw collected snow to the side, and snow loaders that discharge collected snow to the rear on a conveyor belt and load it onto a truck.
