Delta Plow ™ foldable snow plow, mounted on a rear trailer hitch, is available for sale or license: (patent pending)
The adjustable-width Delta configuration allows the Delta Plow ™ to clear a higher volume of snow with less power and traction than is required to clear snow with a forward-mounted or rear-mounted straight blade plow."
The working prototype has proven that the Delta Plow ™ foldable snow plow works VERY well:
This wooden prototype was successfully tested
in 32 inches of snow during "Snowmageddon" in 2009. The inventor attached
it with a chain to his Hummer H2 to partially clear a 230-foot driveway,
allowing his wife's car to navigate the driveway. The additional downforce
provided by the spring-loaded mount allows for complete clearing.
Problem:
Traditional snow plows are front-mounted and require expensive, permanent
hardware to be mounted on the vehicle. Many vehicles cannot mount traditional
snow plows because mounting hardware is not available for all vehicles.
Solution:
The Delta Plow ™
can mount on any vehicle with a
trailer hitch and allows any four-wheel drive vehicle owner to plow. Unlike
traditional front-mounted plows, the Delta Plow ™
is
easily installed by one person, then folded away for easy storage. Click here to

Description:
Foldable, lightweight aluminum snowplow weighs less than 75 pounds and attaches to the standard trailer
hitch and allows a property owner to clear snow and ice from a paved surface
using any vehicle, 4WD specifically. The Delta Plow ™
can be installed by one
person and eliminates the need for professional installation of a front bolt on,
vehicle-specific plow and adaptor system. Production cost will be
approximately $75 - $150. Approximate retail: $500, allowing for healthy profit
margins.
