Considering that we like to highlight the hard work of front end loaders every year around this time, perhaps calling them "unsung" is a bit of a stretch. Still, when you consider how much work front end loaders do each winter and how little acclaim they receive for their pains, I'm sure you'll catch our drift.
Long after shovel-wielding homeowners have flaked out and gone inside for a cup of hot chocolate, the mighty front end loaders will still be out and about, braving the cold to clear the highways and byways.
To make sure that you get our drift, allow us to offer a few examples.
As the winter of 2014 began to release its fury on North America, emergency responders knew just what to do. In the Northeast, the New York State Thruway Authority sent out total of 237 plow operators, 116 plow trucks, 21 front end loaders, 4 large truck-mounted snow blowers, and 35,000 tons of salt. Although the plow trucks, snow blowers, and salt are all helpful, they wouldn't be nearly as effective without those 21 front end loaders.
Front end loaders are vital to the snow-removal process, and when working in conjunction with dump trucks, they can keep roadways, parking lots, and other large-scale structures from total snow obstruction.
So the next time you look out after a storm and spy a front end loader clearing the snow, don't forget to say thanks. These majestic machines deserve all the praise they can get.
