        When snow starts falling, your equipment needs to respond immediately. Snow plows can’t afford hydraulic failures in the middle of a storm. Ray Lewis & Company provides on-demand Gates® hydraulic hose assemblies designed for snow plows and winter equipment — helping you stay operational when conditions are toughest.


        Cold Weather Demands Dependable Hydraulic Systems

        Snow plows rely on hydraulics for blade movement, angling, and control in extreme environments. Freezing temperatures, constant motion, abrasion, and pressure spikes can all shorten hose life. Using hydraulic hoses built specifically for cold-weather performance helps prevent failures and keeps equipment running efficiently all season long.


        Gates® Hydraulic Hoses Engineered for Snow Plow Service

        Gates is an industry leader in hydraulic hose innovation, offering products designed to perform under severe conditions. Gates hydraulic hoses are known for:

        • High-pressure performance for heavy snow-removal equipment
        • Flexibility in low temperatures to reduce cracking and fatigue
        • Abrasion-resistant covers for rugged job sites
        • Durable couplings that withstand repeated cycling
