The outstanding performance of small loaders in winter snow and ice removal

　　In the extremely cold winter, snow and ice accumulation on roads pose a huge challenge to transportation. The traditional manual snow removal method is inefficient, and large-scale snow removal equipment is difficult to operate flexibly in community tunnels. Small loaders, with their excellent adaptability and versatility, are becoming the backbone of winter snow removal operations, providing smooth protection for urban roads.

　　In extremely cold environments, small loaders demonstrate astonishing reliability. Tests have shown that even at low temperatures of -20 ℃, models equipped with low-temperature starting systems can still be quickly put into operation. By installing a dedicated snow removal shovel or roller brush, a single small loader can clear about 3000 square meters of snow per hour, with an efficiency more than 20 times that of manual labor. After a snowstorm, a northern city restored the traffic capacity of its main roads by using 10 small loaders to operate continuously for 8 hours.

　　Small loaders also perform well in de icing operations. Its hydraulic system can accurately control the operating angle and pressure of the de icing shovel, effectively breaking through hard ice without damaging the road surface. Some communities also innovatively use small loaders to throw snow melting agents. Through modified spraying devices, even and controllable distribution of snow melting agents can be achieved, which not only improves the de icing effect but also avoids resource waste.

　　With technological advancements, intelligent small loaders equipped with thermal imaging systems may emerge in the future, capable of automatically identifying key de icing areas. At present, some communities have attempted to establish a small loader sharing platform to fully utilize equipment resources. It can be foreseen that this flexible and efficient snow removal method will be promoted in more cities.
