Low-bid blades: your most expensive option

It seems contradictory but it's true. With low-bid blades, you're trapped in a vicious cycle wasting time and money each time a blade breaks.

That's why we at Winter® have taken it upon ourselves to fight the good fight against low-bid blades and better the lives of plow drivers, mechanics and purchasers everywhere.

Top three reasons why low-bid blades are your most expensive option

1. They cost you time.

With low-bid blades, you spend countless hours in the garage changing out cheap blades when they break. Those are hours you could be spending on the road or better yet, at home with family. But instead you're cold, wet and taking double the time to finish the job and keep the roads clear.

2. They cost you money.

The price may be convenient at first but when blades continually break, you waste your budget buying new sets over and over.

3. They compromise your safety.

Safety should be your number one priority, which just isn't possible when you go low. Broken blades while a driver is on their route can lead to injury and broken vehicles. You never know when they will give out.

Case Study: How the Village of Buffalo Grove ditched low-bid purchases for good

Ten years ago, the Village of Buffalo Grove decided to “test run” two sets of carbide nose blades and undercarriage scraper blades and compare their performance to the traditional steel blades they have been using. After the switch, they never looked back. Since changing over from hardened steel blades to Winter® Equipment carbide blades, the Village of Buffalo Grove has saved:

  • the monetary cost of 14 hardened steel edges.

  • $5,000 in repair parts each season.

  • 20-25 man-hours on shoe repairs each season.
