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.
