unique features

Westernplows DEFENDER™ Plow Blade Construction

The reliable, 16-gauge, powder coated steel moldboard is 23½" tall and available in 6' 8" and 7' 2" widths for rugged snow plowing performance without the extra weight.

The DEFENDER™ snow plow comes standard with a high-carbon steel cutting edge that reduces wear and extends the life of the blade.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ Structural Reinforcement

Six vertical ribs provide unmatched structural reinforcement, delivering exceptional torsional strength and rigidity to eliminate blade twisting.

The high-strength steel base channel provides extra support along the bottom of the plow blade.

The 1" diameter pivot bushing secures the plow in place, ensuring proper alignment and reducing stress on the overall plow assembly.

RELIABLE HYDRAULICS

We manufacture our own hydraulic components to ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability, so that you get a hydraulics system that's not only fast and responsive, but that's built to last season after season.

Fully enclosed components are protected from the elements.

Hydraulic Scrape Lock holds the blade down for more efficient scraping and clean back dragging.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ Trip Protection

The two-spring trip blade protects your snow plow and truck when striking hidden obstacles.

Elastomeric bumpers reduce jarring and soften the blade return when tripping occurs, to extend the life of your truck and plow.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ Ground Clearance

When the plow is not in use, quickly maximize vehicle ground clearance with the removable receiver brackets. No tools required.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ Easy On / Easy Off

A simple mechanical attaching system makes hooking up and removing your plow quick and easy.

Attaching the DEFENDER™ snow plow can be done quickly and easily by one person and without tools.

Simply drive into the attaching arms on the plow, then connect the two spring-loaded pins. Remove the stand, and finally, connect the electrical plugs.

Detaching the plow is just as easy. The receivers are detachable to maintain ground clearance.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ NIGHTHAWK™ Snow Plow Headlights

Available in both LED and Dual-Halogen models, NIGHTHAWK™ plow lights are engineered and tested for maximum light output, performance and durability to keep you ahead of the storm.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ PLOW CONTROL OPTIONS

Choose between a CabCommand hand-held control with push buttons or a joystick control, based on operator preference. For efficient, precise and intuitive blade control while plowing, both controls feature power “on” and “float” LED lights, backlighting for night operation, and plug-in connector for easy removal.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ SECURITY GUARD™ ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

The exclusive WESTERN® SECURITY GUARD™ snow plow anti-theft system is a safe and secure way to electronically lock your snow plow when it is detached from your truck. Unlike physical locks that can easily be cut or removed, the system provides a deterrent against theft by allowing you to electronically lock the snow plow's hydraulic functions, rendering your plow inoperable to unauthorized users.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ ULTRAFINISH™ BAKED-ON POWDER COAT

The ULTRAFINISH™ baked on powder coat with epoxy primer is standard on all WESTERN® plows, providing outstanding protection against wear and rust. Each WESTERN plow goes through an automated eight-wheel shot blaster pre-treatment process and multi-stage pre-wash to prepare the plow surface for optimum coating adhesion.

After that a durable epoxy primer is applied to improve corrosion resistance and enhance powder coat adhesion. The powder coat is then applied with robotic guns that ensure precise, consistent powder coat coverage. The final baking process seals the long-lasting hard-as-nails WESTERN red coat. The result is a state-of-the-industry finish that will provide superior protection for your plow, season after season.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ Scrape Lock

The WESTERN® Scrape Lock system locks the plow in any position you put it in to give you a cleaner scrape, especially while back dragging. With the plow locked in place, Scrape Lock gives you the performance of a larger plow without the extra weight and without the need to push any extra buttons.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ Pre-Punched Blades for Accessories

The blade is pre-punched for easy installation of accessories, providing a custom fit. The pre-punched holes also prevent damage to the powder coat that can sometimes occur when installing an accessory.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ POLY CUTTING EDGE

Protect decorative concrete, driveways and other delicate surfaces with these poly cutting edges. Made of resilient compounds for longer life, these poly edges adjust to road surface irregularities without gouging and help you quickly remove all types of snow.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ STEEL CUTTING EDGE

This 3/8" cutting edge fits the same hole pattern as the 1/4" cutting edge that comes standard on your blade from the factory. Made of abrasion-resistant, high-carbon steel, the 3/8" cutting edge gives your DEFENDER™ snow plow extra wearability by increasing the surface area at the point of contact.

Westernplows DEFENDER™ RUBBER DEFLECTOR

Control the snow and always see where you're going with optional deflectors. Our 2-ply rubber snow deflectors include bolt-on steel plates to ensure proper positioning of the deflectors to keep your view clear and clean.
