Winter Cleanup 101: Choosing the Right Snow Tool

Winter weather brings challenges, from clearing fresh snowfall to breaking up ice. Having the right tool makes it easier to keep driveways, sidewalks, and jobsites clear throughout the season. MARSHALLTOWN offers several tools for a variety of winter cleanup tasks. Here's a closer look at each style and when to use it.

Scoop Shovels: Move More Snow

When fresh snow starts piling up, a scoop shovel helps move larger volumes quickly. Its square-end blade is designed to scoop and lift snow and slush, making it a practical choice for clearing driveways, walkways, and jobsites.
MARSHALLTOWN Scoop Shovels are available with steel or lightweight aluminum blades to handle tough winter conditions. Both feature a smooth wood handle with a steel-braced D-grip for added strength, comfort, and control.
Use a scoop shovel when you need to move larger amounts of snow and clear open areas efficiently.

Mini Shovels: Keep One Close

Snowstorms don't always happen when you're at home. The MARSHALLTOWN PROSCAPE™ Square Point Folding Shovel is a compact option for emergency situations, such as digging a vehicle out of snow.

Made of heavy-gauge, powder-coated carbon steel, this shovel features an ultra-low-profile design with an overall length of 26". Its twist-and-lock collar allows the handle to fold down for easy storage in vehicle trunks, truck beds, or other tight spaces. Each shovel also includes a travel tote for convenient transportation.

Keep one in your vehicle so you're prepared when winter weather creates unexpected challenges.

Heavy-Duty Scrapers: Break Through Ice

Packed snow and ice can make sidewalks and driveways difficult to navigate. The MARSHALLTOWN Heavy-Duty Forged Scraper is designed to help remove stubborn ice buildup from hard surfaces.
Its 30-degree blade bend provides a better working angle and reduces the need to bend over while scraping. It features a stamped steel head for tackling ice buildup on sidewalks, driveways, and other hard surfaces.

Be Ready for Winter

From moving fresh snowfall to clearing ice-covered walkways, having the right equipment makes winter cleanup more manageable. Keep a scoop shovel, mini shovel, and bent blade scraper on hand so you're prepared for whatever the weather brings.
