At Snocom, we believe snow clearing can be smarter, faster, and more sustainable. Our mission is to help winter service professionals, airports, and ski resorts remove snow more efficiently, safely, and with minimal environmental impact. Using our patented snow compressor technology, we reduce the volume of snow before transport by up to 50%. This directly cuts down on truck movements, fuel consumption, and CO₂ emissions. Efficiency, safety, and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do.
We aim to be the trusted partner for organizations that rely on clear roads, aprons, and pathways during winter. In a traditionally conservative industry, Snocom proves every day that true innovation can lead to better, faster, and safer snow removal. Snocom developed the Snowcuber that reduces the volume of snow before loading it in a truck, by pressing out the air from the snow. This patented technology enables airports, cities, ports and logistics centres to preserve their capacity, reduce the number of dump trucks, movements, operational expenditures and emissions.
Our extensive and innovative study led to the development of a snow compressor module that compresses snow by squeezing out the air, reducing the volume of the snow up to 50%; the Snowcuber. Imagine what our Snowcuber means for CO₂ emissions if you can reduce the number of transports up to 50%, this equates into tremendous savings for both the environment and operational costs.
The Snowcuber is developed in close co-operation with professional users who set strict requirements for capacity, clearing speed and end results.
Snocom was founded by a team of specialists with decades of experience in hydraulics, mechanical engineering, and winter service applications.
Our engineers, service technicians, and developers understand:
Committed, knowledgeable, and solution-driven — that’s the Snocom DNA.
Our Snowcubers are fully developed and manufactured in the Netherlands at Hydrauvision Systems B.V., a leader in hydraulic drive technology.
Through the use of high-quality materials, modular designs, and ISO-compliant production processes, we ensure:
Innovation is not a buzzword for us — it’s embedded in every detail.
Our team continually invests in:
This guarantees that your investment is not only ready for today’s challenges but also for tomorrow’s.
Snowfall and snow on the ground can severely disrupt daily life, often leading to substantial economic damage. Any significant amount of snow should be removed as quickly as possible. However, the techniques currently in use for snow removal have not changed much since their introduction and have several disadvantages such as poor cost effectiveness and a relatively large environmental impact. SNOCOM’s Snowcuber is the answer to snow-related issues in inner cities, ports, airports and logistics centres. Wherever snow needs to be transported, the Snowcuber has a big advantage over the existing snowblowers, which are only useful in rural areas and open fields.
The environmental requirements push winter operations for a different approach. Cities need to reduce traffic movements (congestion and CO2) while handling the snow and keep cities open during or just after snow events – as soon as possible. SNOCOM’s volume reduction technique is different and unique. It significantly helps to reduce emissions and movements. In an average winter, Montreal snow dumping sites receive approximately 13 million cubic meters (325,000 truckloads) of snow. It’s a real ballet of heavy machinery and trucks!
SNOCOM’s machine, named the Snowcuber, ingests large amounts of snow and exploits the compressibility of the snow to reduces the snow’s volume by a factor of 2. Can you imagine what SNOCOM`s Snowcuber means for CO2 emissions if you can reduce the number of transports up to 50%? The additional advantage is that it also saves a lot of money on hiring trucks. Because of that customers call our machine the money-making machine.
