Holms Attachments AB and JPT Serco Oy have entered into a strategic partnership to sell Skaala Zoom plows in the U.S. and Canadian markets. 

​Adjustable-width snow pusher

The Skaala plows are fixed-wing and can be hydraulically widened. Closely resembling a snow pusher, these units are different because the width can be adjusted on-the-move.

A different approach

Instead of traditional spring edges or floating blade sections, all Serco Skaala Zoom Plows are equipped with spring-loaded side wings and a floating, spring-loaded quick coupler with suspension dampeners. This simple solution ensures that the plow will stay on the ground on uneven surfaces and conform to the shape of the ground while providing the force needed to break up hardpack and ice. The cylinders are powerful enough to open and close the plow under load while plowing.

Complimentary product​

“There’s no product in our market that allows operators the flexibility to adjust widths,” says Dan Snedecor, president and general manager of Holms, Inc. He continues, “Snow pushers are popular for clearing large areas, but the width is limited by road lane widths when moving from site to site. With the Serco, you can, for example, have a 15-foot wide pusher that reduces to less than 8 feet for travel and transport.”​

Carl Gindahl, CEO of Holms Attachments AB, comments,” In Scandinavia, we consider Serco a respected rival and competitor. In this case, we are cooperating to provide our US entity, Holms, Inc., with a product that Holms does not manufacture and suits the North American market very well.”

Juha Kumlander, managing director of Serco JPT Oy, adds, “We are happy to enter the North American market in this way. Holms is a respected and long-term player in the industry, and the cooperation will benefit both companies.”
