Lake Wales, FL - As severe snowstorms continue to impact communities across the United States, Petersen Industries, the leading grapple loaders and truck manufacturer, provides critical solutions to help cities and contractors respond quickly and effectively. With its innovative and durable equipment, Petersen is paving the way for safer, faster, and more efficient snowstorm recovery efforts.
Winter’s Toughest Ally
Petersen Industries’ grapple trucks are engineered to thrive in the most extreme winter conditions. Featuring robust hydraulic systems and powerful grapples, these trucks handle the heavy snow, ice, and debris accumulating during severe storms. According to the Federal Highway Administration, approximately 70% of the U.S. population lives in regions that experience snowfall, and over 116,000 injuries occur annually due to winter weather-related road conditions. Petersen’s trucks are vital in reducing these numbers by ensuring safer and more precise roads.
Keeping Communities Moving
Snowstorms can bring cities to a standstill, disrupting daily life with blocked roads and damaged infrastructure. Petersen’s grapple trucks have been instrumental in helping municipalities restore accessibility and safety after winter storms. By rapidly clearing debris, the trucks help communities recover faster and reduce risks to public safety. In one recent storm in Colorado, Petersen’s trucks helped clear over 1,200 tons of snow and debris in just three days, restoring critical transportation routes.
Real-World Impact
During last year’s record-breaking snowstorm in the Midwest, Petersen’s grapple trucks were deployed to clear debris from highways and residential streets. A public works director in Minnesota praised the equipment’s performance, stating, “Petersen’s grapple trucks helped us clear roads 50% faster than traditional methods. Their reliability made a huge difference in getting our city back on track.” Nationwide, snow removal costs exceed $2 billion annually, and Petersen’s efficient solutions help reduce operational expenses for municipalities.
Sustainability in Action
Beyond their efficiency, Petersen’s grapple trucks contribute to sustainable recovery efforts by reducing the need for excessive manual labor and streamlining cleanup processes. The trucks’ versatility also minimizes equipment usage, lowering fuel consumption and operational costs. Studies have shown that using advanced equipment like grapple trucks can decrease fuel usage by up to 20% compared to older snow removal methods.
Preparedness for Extreme Weather
As snowstorms grow in frequency and intensity, Petersen Industries emphasizes the importance of disaster preparedness. The company partners with municipalities, contractors, and emergency response teams to ensure their fleets are ready to tackle any winter weather event. “We’re proud to provide equipment that helps communities recover quickly while keeping workers safe in challenging conditions,” said Sam Bailey, CEO of Petersen Industries.
