FAQ’s
Our investment in a robotic welder in 2019 ensures consistency, and has increased production capacity.
Our average leadtime is 5 days. If you need something fast we will do our best to assist.
The height of the frame and coverplate with blades lowered is 2.06 inches. The maximum height of the blades is normally 4.5 inches.
The top portion of the cover does not have exposed bolt heads or other protrusions that would catch on low vehicles or trailer hitches.
The maximum blade height is 3.75” for our TigerTeeth models TT36, TT38 and TT48 . The maximum blade height is 4.25” for our SM models SM36, SM38 and SM48.
Our units also allow the angle of the blades to be reduced (as well as the height of the blade tips) with the use of internal rubber bumpers. If thicker rubber bumpers are installed then the height of the blades is reduced. These rubber bumpers are provided free of charge. The rubber bumpers also allow for quieter operation than our competitors.
Each section is latched down individually.
Unlike our competitors, our Latchdown feature is included and doesn’t require the purchase of any special tools.
Our proprietary Lockdown feature is located at the top of the unit. It consists of a patented threaded mechanism that is turned down and lowers the blades. It takes about 30 seconds to lock the blades down with a wrench (or ratchet with 3/4″ socket).
Some of our competitors use a small screw in the lower portion of the blade area. This looks fine in the showroom but in the real world this area is covered with dust and debris.
Our cover plates have a very durable polyurethane coating that keeps the units looking good for several years. 10 times longer than any of our competitors’ powdercoating.
Roadshark axles and blades coated with high visibility yellow coating that we have found outlives galvanizing by 10 times.
There are no customs issues or fees. Winnipeg is a transportation hub in North America and there are many freight options to choose from. We pay a customs brokerage fee (about $70) but that is always included in our shipping cost.
95% of our customers pay in USD so that is not an issue.
