Schmidt ｜Snow plough｜Tellefsdal VPL

The VPL consists of a right and a left ploughshare, connected in the middle with an A-frame by means of pivots, which forms a stable base for difficult and heavy snow clearance. The geometrically shaped and steeply inclined ploughshare ensures optimum snow ejection.

The VPL easily overcomes ground obstacles even under difficult operating conditions. This is due to the automatic override security system with shock absorber rails, which absorbs the high starting energy and ensures minimal noise and very smooth running.

All functions are hydraulic and can be operated from the cab. Two hydraulic cylinders operate each ploughshare and swivel it against a mechanical stop when fully engaged. In the standard version, the VPL is suitable for vehicle hydraulic systems with two control cells for snow plough operation. Pressure relief valves and accumulators in the hydraulic system protect and dampen the shares.

The VPL series is equipped with a mounting plate as standard. The optional lifting system with country-specific mounting plates enables adaptation to vehicles with both lifting systems or mounting plates and allows changeover within minutes. The VPL is suitable for mounting on both work vehicles and front loaders.

Steel cutting edge (S)

A multi-purpose, cost optimised solution for aggressive clearing of hard and/or compact snow. Steel cutting edges are resistant to bending and twisting, giving a clean result.

Combi cutting edge size 36 (C36 / C50)

A more durable cutting edge made of steel, rubber and ceramic. This cutting edge is meant for aggressive snow clearing and can be a good alternative if the steel cutting edge is wearing out too fast. The combination of materials ensures noise and vibration reduction.

Rubber cutting edge (size 30 mm and 50 mm) (R)

Due to the flexible and elastic characteristics of rubber, it glides smoothly over the surface. A rubber cutting edge is especially efficient when clearing snow slush.

The castor wheels ensure precise adjustment of the snow plough and provide appropriate aggressiveness during snow clearing. They support the frame when driving over obstacles and extend the service life of the cutting edge. Alternatively, maintenance-free height-adjustable sliding shoes can be fitted. They are made of highly wear-resistant steel or combi.

A rubber snow deflector prevents poor visibility due to snow swirling up to the windscreen of the vehicle. The rubber shield directs the air stream along with the snow dust to the side. Rubber protection is used mainly during slow clearing of wet and heavy snow. Thanks to its great flexibility, the splash guard is not easily damaged. It is simple and cost effective option.

The VPL can be equipped with a "Super Swing" feature which allows the ploughshares to be swivelled diagonally to the right, left or only to one side. Further options including sliding shoes, trailing wheels and snow dust protection are also available.
