Snow blower
Rapid snow blowers are all distinguished by their robust construction. The solid toothed auger conveys the snow very efficiently to the impeller, delivering extremely high output volumes.
The blower is operated from the driver position. A high gear ratio was selected for swivelling the ejection chute, and the flap is easy to adjust vertically. In the case of the semi-hard snow blower, a tall ejection chute was fitted, increasing the snow feed length and extending the snow cast..
The snow blowers have safety protection in the form of a shear pin or a safety clutch.
Rapid’s range of snow blowers includes the Zaugg snow blower for use with exceptionally hard frozen snow. Zaugg blowers also have very long service lives. The tougher the job, the more you need a Zaugg.
