In late 2024, a municipal contractor in the northern United States purchased a truck mounted snow sweeper from YG Machinery and installed it on his pickup truck for winter road maintenance. The client reported excellent performance: the hydraulic snow removal roller for truck cleared snow efficiently, operated smoothly even in sub-zero temperatures, and significantly reduced the time required to keep streets and parking lots safe during heavy snowfall.
This case highlights how YG’s snow removal solutions are tailored for the American market, where winter road maintenance demands high efficiency, flexibility, and reliability.

U.S. Demand for Truck Mounted Snow Sweepers
In the United States, especially in northern states such as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York, winter snowfall can be heavy and persistent. Municipalities, small contractors, private property owners, and industrial sites increasingly rely on truck mounted snow sweepers to maintain safe roads, parking lots, and private driveways.
Compared with larger tractors or skid steer attachments, trucks offer greater flexibility and lower operating costs, making them a preferred choice for:
- Light to medium snowfall areas
- Smaller roads and parking lots
- Quick deployment scenarios where large equipment is impractical
The growing awareness of winter safety and the need to reduce manual snow removal has contributed to the rising demand for front mounted snow broom and PTO snow sweeper brush for truck solutions in the U.S.
