Snow Plow Safety and Transportation Safety
Edge-O-Lite a company with a mission to keep people safer on the roads, is excited to launch their new line of safety products - the Edge-O-Lite (TM) - a snowplow reflector designed so oncoming drivers can easily identify snow plow blade extended edges and avoid accidents.
The new snow plow reflectors are mounted on the blades edge or on the rubber deflectors of the plow.
When vehicles attempt to pass a snowplow, a common accident caused by catching the outer edge of the blade, may result. Or, the car is forced to veer off the road at the last minute, often ending up in an injurious or fatal crash.
Auto collisions with snowplows account for large insurance payouts and are costly to states, cities and towns. More importantly, injuries, property damage and even fatalities may occur.
The Edge-O-Lite is made to increase the efficiency and safety of snowplow clearance operations, lives and money can be saved.
The Edge-O-Lite is designed to increase the visibility of oncoming drivers and to decrease collisions. These highly visible reflectors illuminate the outer edge of the snowplow blades or they mount to the snowplows rubber deflector. They help allow for safe passage in hazardous winter driving conditions and to reduce deadly crashes.
When installed on the edge of a snowplow's blade, or deflector the Edge-O-Lite (TM) attracts the oncoming car's headlights and reflects the light back to the driver, clearly lighting the blade's edge.
The product is highly visible and durable. It is designed to withstand harsh winter weather, and is easily installed. It's a low-cost solution for a serious problem.
