For decades, the Viking-Cives Group has been focused on developing more

efficient products in the snow removal industry. As of the last several years though, there

has been a growing concern about the effects that industries have on the environment.

That’s why we’ve developed several products with the environment in mind. By

focusing on mechanical methods of removing ice and hard-pack, we can significantly

reduce the required amount of chemical product, and in some cases eliminate the need

entirely. The benefits of this approach are two-fold.

First and foremost, we can minimize the environmental impact of the snow and

ice removal processes. Distributing fewer chemicals on the roads means that fewer

chemicals end up in ditches and absorbed into the soil when spring arrives. It’s important

to limit such chemical exposure since it can be extremely detrimental to water supplies,

including drinking water. There are also some fiscal benefits. By reducing the amount of

chemical product necessary to maintain clear roads, a portion of the maintenance cost is

reduced. Using chemicals will break up the ice and hard-pack, but a second pass is

required to remove the resulting slush from the road.

Here are a few examples of Viking's green products:

Salt-Saver: This underbody unit utilizes spring steel sections tipped with carbide

blades to remove ice and hard-pack from the road surface. It can be used

in a standalone application or in conjunction with a front-mounted plow.

Tow Plow: This tow-behind unit deploys to act as an extension of the truck-mounted

wing. This effectively widens the clearing path for any single truck and

reduces the number of trucks required to clear a multi-lane highway,

which means that the units replaced by the Tow Plow can be put to better

use on other roads. Another benefit associated with tow-plow usage is

reduced fuel consumption. A single truck utilizing a tow plow uses less

fuel than the two trucks required to clear a path of equal width.

Two-Stage: The two-stage pushframe is similar to the Salt-Saver in that it uses spring

steel sections to assist in clearing roads. The difference is that these

sections are mounted directly to the pushframe designed to accept standard

plow models.
