Why a Poly Snowplow Might Be the Best Choice for Your Winter Needs
When it comes to choosing the right snowplow, many people default to steel, assuming it’s the stronger and more reliable option. However, poly snowplows are an increasingly popular choice—and for good reason. These modern poly snowplows blend durability, convenience, and efficiency to deliver a high-performance plow perfect for many winter conditions.
If you’ve dismissed poly plows as “cheap” or “plasticky,” it’s time to reconsider. Here’s why a poly snowplow might be the perfect fit for you:
Top Advantages of a Poly Snowplow
- Minimal Maintenance: A Time and Money Saver; Poly plows are resistant to rust and corrosion, unlike steel blades that need frequent upkeep to fend off the damaging effects of moisture and salt. Additionally, poly materials are highly resistant to dents. Bottom line: A poly snowplow requires less TLC, saving you time and money in the long run.
- Slick, Snow-Shedding Surface; One of the standout features of poly snowplows is their ultra-smooth surface and their ability to keep snow and ice moving while plowing. The poly material helps snow and ice slide right off the plow instead of sticking, reducing downtime to clean off caked snow and improving efficiency. A steel blade, by contrast, tends to accumulate snow and ice, which can decrease performance over time. Fun fact: The better a plow sheds snow, the faster and more efficiently you can get the job done.
- Rust-Free Durability; Poly material is impervious to rust, making it ideal for winter conditions that expose your equipment to salt, slush, and moisture – A common problem in Western New York. While a steel plow can corrode over time without proper care, a poly plow maintains its like-new appearance for years. Added bonus: Rust-free performance also enhances resale value when it’s time to upgrade your equipment.
Considerations When Choosing a Poly Plow

While poly plows resist dents, they aren’t indestructible. Large impacts with rocks or other hard objects can cause damage. However, BOSS poly plows come reinforced with steel frames for added durability.
