Masi Nova snow plow victoriousMarch 9th, 2009 Masi Nova snow plow was designed already back in 1996. Thirteen years later, it wins the snow plow test in the Finnish magazine TM Rakennusmaailma's February issue of 2009, receiving acclaim for its good industrial design and maneuverability. A Finnish-language summary of the article is available online: Työnnettävät lumikolat testissä.  Of note is also the innovative use of gas injection moulding in the design. This technology allows creation of a stiffening hollow structure all around the plow perimeter, as well as makes it possible to design a useful grip in the capsule for easy push over and carrying of the snow plow.
The snow plow was designed by Heikki Salo from ED-Design. |
