DPD3400 - DPD3700
DPD (Diagonal Plough, Double) is a safe and efficient combination plough designed to throw snow equally well to both right and left.
Safety has always been one of Mählers’ R&D watchwords, and in common with other diagonal ploughs, the DPD has spring-loaded blade holders.
This means a greatly reduced risk of damage to the plough and of changes in alignment caused by collisions with protruding obstacles or by the plough digging into the road surface.
“Many of our customers have extensive experience of ploughs with fixed blades and know the risks involved if the plough bites into the road surface, which is why we fit our new ploughs with springloaded blade holders,” says Roar Wehn, Head of Sales & Marketing at Mählers.
Roar tells us that the development of DPD was based on customer feedback. Once requirement specifications were drawn up, work was transferred to engineering drawing, then to production and practical prototype testing.
