Safety is procedural: spotters guide equipment in alleys, cones and flags mark active paths, and radios keep crews synchronized. High-vis gear, cleats, and headlamps make pre-dawn work safer for crews and pedestrians.

Slip prevention is layered: brine before, careful plow passes during, and targeted melts plus inspections after. We document each step so you can demonstrate due diligence if you ever need it.

City work relies on compact plows, skid steers with pushers, sidewalk brushes for plazas, and hand tools for delicate corners. Every unit carries spare edges, chains, fluids, and radios to stay online.
