Boss Products, a division of The Toro Company, has redesigned the Snowrator after acquiring the brand in 2018 to maximize machine performance and reliability.

The Snowrator plows and de-ices sidewalks and walkways — reducing the need for shovelers and allowing the operator to brine, spread, and plow at the same time. Boss-engineered improvements include a 4-ft. hydraulic snowplow with 20-inch polyethylene skin and improved electrical and plow attachment systems. The Snowrator also now accepts all Boss ATV plow accessories and common parts.

Other Boss-designed features and improvements include a Boss chassis for greater protection from puncture to the standard brine tank and a removable rear plate for easier maintenance and access to the tank; rear fenders and splashguards to protect operators from slush, salt, snow, and other debris; weather-resistant connectors for the electrical system; more corrosion-resistant hydraulic hose ends; and responsive hydraulic lever turn control operations for ease of maneuverability.

Available accessories for the Snowrator include a 20-gallon auxiliary tank, plow wing extensions, material carrying trays, broadcast spreader, plow box wings, shovel mounting brackets, Exact Path drop spreader, urethane cutting edge, and 5-gallon bucket mounts.
