However, larger snowplows exist, which tend to be conversions rather than purpose-built vehicles.

All except the snowplow were on the heavy 30-foot underframe.
The company also manufactures a variety of truck-mounted sand and salt spreaders, snowplow replacement parts and snow removal accessories.
Snowplows are dangerous to overtake; often, the oncoming lane may not be completely free of snow.

Conventional operation may see one or two locomotives running together with a snowplow at either end.
Snowplows were also among vehicles stranded in traffic as the snow continued to fall.
