Everblades Heated Wipers
- Equipment
Innovation
ITD maintenance crews work in all types of weather, including low-visibility conditions. During winter, it can be challenging to keep ice from accumulating on snowplow windshields. ITD tested heated windshield wipers on two snowplow. The Everblades model contains heating elements within the wipers to keep the windshield clear, and installation only takes half an hour using basic tools. These worked so well that it was a no-brainer to purchase and install them on all of ITD's plows. Each kit costs approximately $160.
Benefit and Implementation
The heated wiper blades keep snow and ice from accumulating on snowplow windshields, improving operator and road user safety and allowing plows to stay on the roads longer during winter storms.
