Answers to the most common questions about Snowcuber technology, models, and use cases
Snow compression is the process of reducing snow volume before transport by removing air and moisture. Snocom’s patented system uses an auger, impeller, and compression chamber to achieve up to 50% volume reduction before loading snow into a truck.
Unlike snow blowers that scatter snow, our technology compresses and loads snow in a controlled way — reducing truck movements, emissions, and total cost of operation.
Yes. The Snowcuber is engineered to handle all types of snow, dry, wet, icy or mixed, thanks to its robust impeller and compression unit.
Yes. With the optional independent Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU), the Compact Snowcuber does not rely on the tractor’s hydraulics and can be connected via rear PTO.
Yes. Both models are ISOBUS-compliant and require a tractor that supports ISO 11783-2 for full functionality.
All major functions (chute rotation, extension, start/stop, reverse) are controlled from inside the cabin via the ISOBUS interface.
The Snowcuber features an in-cab reverse function to clear blockages quickly and safely — no manual intervention needed.
Both models are built for low-maintenance operation. Basic maintenance includes greasing, hydraulic oil checks, and filter replacements. The system is modular for easy access and service.
Yes. The MK6 is designed for apron, runway, and taxiway operations, with proven performance at airports like Schiphol, Zürich, and Paris CDG.
Absolutely. The Compact model’s size and mobility make it perfect for narrow roads, steep access points, and limited truck availability.
Yes. Urban applications benefit from fewer truck movements, quieter operation, and more precise control in tight environments.
Yes. We provide free live or virtual demonstrations throughout Europe.
All Snowcuber models are designed and built in the Netherlands by Hydrauvision Systems B.V.
Yes. We offer on-site installation, operator training, and a dedicated European support network for service and parts.
