HLA 3500X Series 96-Inch Expandable Snow Pusher for Skid Steers

Overview

The HLA 3500X Series is an expandable snow pusher — the pusher can hydraulically extend and contract its width, allowing a single attachment to cover varying clearing widths depending on the job. This flexibility is valuable for Canadian commercial operators working both open lots and areas with obstacles where a fixed-width pusher is too wide. Ontario-built by HLA Attachments. The 3500X maintains balanced cylinder performance and a trip-edge for frost heave protection.

Canada Availability

Available in Canada through HLA Attachments and HLA Snow dealers. Ontario-manufactured by Horst Welding.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

You push snow on flat commercial lots, parking decks, or loading docks with a defined push perimeter
You don't have room or budget for a blower — pushers cost far less and maintain well

Skip if

Your site has no windrow drop zone — pushers pile snow that has to go somewhere
Wet, heavy Ontario snow is your primary challenge — heavy packs reduce machine traction with a full pusher

Also consider

Sectional pusher if your site has frost heaves or uneven pavement you need the wings to follow
Snow blower attachment if bank height from repeated pushes is becoming a problem

Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.

Care & Maintenance

Inspect the trip-edge blade for wear before each season and replace when worn below the wear indicator line — a worn-through trip-edge transfers full impact to the blade frame
Grease all trip-edge pivot and hinge points after every major pushing session, especially after work in extreme cold where grease migrates out of joints faster
Check side board welds for cracking after frost heave strikes — box sides bear significant impact forces during high-speed frost heave hits
Rinse salt off after every use and before extended storage — road salt accelerates rust on unpainted steel edges and frame members faster than people expect
Store off the ground on blocks or a pallet to prevent the cutting edge from sitting in standing water and rusting from below
