Advanced Technologies, and Surface Protection

Bucher Municipal offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of snow plows for urban streets, secondary roads, highways, parking lots, and even airports. As an official distributor, we present an overview of the types of plows available, the innovative technologies they use, and the scraping edge options—including rubber and neoprene solutions that protect the road surface and reduce noise.

Types of Bucher Snow Plows

1) Polyx – Lightweight, High-Performance Front Plow (Urban & Extra-Urban)

The Polyx series combines a high-strength steel frame with an open-profile HD polyethylene moldboard, which glides more easily through snow while reducing stress on the vehicle’s front axle. It comes in four series and 27 models, from 1.45 m (ideal for bike lanes or sidewalks) to 4.75 m for heavy-duty operations. Interchangeable cutting edges and a corrosion-resistant coating (tested for over 2,000 hours in saline mist) ensure durability. It can also integrate the MBS system for brine injection directly through the blade.

Key technologies:

  • Bi-shore neoprene blade (negative attack angle) – quiet operation, perfect for fresh or melting snow and sensitive surfaces.

  • Dual-edge blade system – combines neoprene and Hardox 400 steel, hydraulically switchable for efficiency on both soft and compacted snow.

  • By-pass valve for lateral shock absorption and added safety.

2) Teplex – Telescopic Highway Plow (Heavy-Duty)

Teplex functions as “two plows in one,” with telescopic left and right wings that provide working widths from 3 to 7 meters. Perfect for highways and airports, it offers three configurations: closed, open, or intermediate. It features a self-adjusting by-pass valve, central tilt system for uniform edge wear, and auto-adjustable support wheels for high-speed clearing, even when using rubber or polyurethane edges.

3) Unix – Universal V-Plow/Lamella Plow

The Unix is an all-round solution that can work in V position, straight blade, or scoop mode. It is ideal for opening lanes, widening roadways, or moving snow in confined spaces such as urban areas and parking lots.

4) Vipex – Wedge-Vario Plow with Mobile Wings

Vipex features a central wedge with two independently controlled wings. It offers maximum versatility by allowing V-position, straight blade, or scoop configuration. This makes it ideal for deep or compacted snow, breaking through snowdrifts, and widening roads. Heavy-duty steel construction and Hardox 400 edges ensure durability.

5) Ramox – Multi-Segment Plow for Unimog & Heavy Trucks

The Ramox series is known for reliability and excellent value. It features a multi-share design with automatic recovery of each share: the segments are firmly held in position during clearing but flex when hitting obstacles, instantly returning to the working position. This reduces shocks and vibrations. Available with 3 or 4 segments and multiple edge options.

6) Irox – Single-Section Plow for Heavy Snowfalls

Irox is designed for intensive urban and extra-urban traffic as well as airport operations, even on uneven surfaces, at low or high speeds. It features a dual damping system and can pass over obstacles larger than 5 cm without recoil, improving operator safety and reducing vehicle strain.

7) Wingx – Multi-Axis Plow for Parking Areas and Open Spaces

The Wingx excels in large, flat areas such as squares, logistics platforms, and parking lots. It comes in multiple sizes and with various edge types to suit different surfaces and snow conditions.

Key Bucher Technologies

MBS – Mechanical Brine System

The MBS system injects brine directly through the cutting edge into the thin layer of snow left on the pavement. The result is faster melting, up to 30% less salt consumption, and up to 50% fewer clearing passes, with less material scattered into the environment. This system uses a special bi-shore neoprene edge with perforations.

Safety and Shock Absorption

  • By-pass valves absorb lateral shocks to protect the plow and vehicle.

  • Elastic multi-segment recovery ensures each section flexes and returns automatically (Ramox).

  • Dual damping and elastic blade design (Irox) increase safety.

  • Central tilting systems (Teplex) ensure balanced wear and smoother operation.

Corrosion Protection

Bucher plows undergo advanced coating processes, including zinc-epoxy and polyester layers, tested for more than 2,000 hours in saline environments to guarantee maximum durability in harsh winter conditions.

Cutting Edge Options for Surface Protection

Bucher offers a full range of interchangeable cutting edges to adapt to different road conditions:

  • Bi-shore neoprene / rubber – protects sensitive surfaces, reduces noise, and is ideal for fresh or melting snow. Perfect for historic or residential areas.

  • Hardox 400 steel – for compacted snow, ice, or highly abrasive conditions.

  • Polyurethane – a balance between surface protection and durability, with excellent elasticity on impact.

  • Kombi edges – versatile for mixed conditions.

Additional accessories include anti-splash rubber guards for improved visibility, auto-adjustable support wheels for consistent scraping at higher speeds, and ±7° lateral oscillation to follow the road profile.

Best Applications by Environment

  • Sidewalks, bike paths, and narrow urban streets: Polyx S with neoprene edge, Unix in straight-blade mode, or Wingx for parking lots.

  • Urban and secondary roads: Polyx M and Irox for stability and dual damping at higher speeds.

  • Highways and airports: Teplex (3–7 m), Irox for airports, and Vipex for snowdrifts and widening operations.

  • Heavy-duty trucks and Unimog vehicles: Ramox multi-segment plows for maximum durability and protection.

Why Bucher Snow Plows Are a Smart Investment

  1. Adaptability – Configurations for sidewalks, urban streets, highways, or airports, with widths and options to match any operation.

  2. Surface protection – Rubber and polyurethane options reduce road wear, noise, and vibration.

  3. Efficiency and sustainability – The MBS system reduces both operational time and salt usage.

  4. Operational safety – Shock absorption systems protect equipment and operators from sudden impacts.

  5. Durability – Advanced anti-corrosion coatings and high-quality materials like Hardox steel and HD polyethylene ensure long service life.
