They’re typically attached to trucks or other heavy vehicles, but some models can be towed by smaller cars. Snowplows work best on hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete; they’re not as effective on gravel or dirt roads because they don’t have enough traction with those materials.Safe PawThe Original and the #1 Pet and Child Safe Ice Melt for over 20 years.
