When Henke introduced the Parallel Lift Plow our goal was to offer a plow that yielded superior plowing performance, ease of operation, and all around safety. Customers who switched from traditional chain lift plows agree that this is a better solution.
These are some of the benefits that have led customers to choose this product line:
- Level lifting: the plow lifts level at all angles. This has several benefits of its own like: keeping the weight evenly distributed on the front axle; safe and easy operation and ultimate control of the plow.
- Follows the contours of the road smoothly and effectively. Ever experience a plow that bounces or chatters? It’s not a good experience! Parallel lift plows do NOT bounce or chatter.
- Safer and easier to operate and maintain than traditional plows.
> Easy to connect and disconnect (1 person job)
> One common cylinder for lift functions and reversing functions
> Flat plate hitch is much safer than traditional protruding arm hitches
> Plow mounts closer to the truck and provides better ground clearance
This growing product line has many choices and options available such as:
- Moldboard styles: straight reversible, funnel/one-way, expressway, folding v, extendable
- options such as mailbox cutouts or “mouse ears” (discharge ears)
- Multiple trip, hitch, and running gear options available
- Wide variety of cutting edges, curb guards, and wear guards available
- Many other options available, including rubber shields, rod markers, jack stands, etc
Enhanced version of the original Parallel Lift Plow
While Henke Engineers made deliberate improvements to the existing Parallel Lift Plow product line that doesn’t mean the same great features and benefits of the line have changed. They have only been enhanced for better performance and longevity.
Some of the specific enhancements include:
- Structurally more sound pushframe – stronger but not heavier
- Easier to maintain with more bushings
- Added poly pad to swivel function which makes the plow follow the contours of the road more smoothly
- Added a hydraulic accumulator which makes the power float function more responsive
Heavy duty plow + mechanical float
Take all of the advantages of the next gen Parallel Lift Plow v2.0 and add mechanical float into the mix – what do you get? The best of the best!
- Plow follows the profile of the road and floats over obstacles, mechanically – no hydraulic float system is required
- Over 23″ of vertical float
- Simple to operate – remove the float lockout pin and plow
- True float reacts quicker and with less resistance than hydraulic systems
- Simple for end users and dealers – only 2 double-acting hydraulic circuits required
