Osh Kosh Truck | A look at the H-Series

The H-Series is an Osh Kosh Truck which is designed for functionality in many different applications based on what you, the buyer, requires.  Take a look at look at the potential applications for this Osh Kosh Truck:

Applications for the H-Series Snow Chassis

H-Series with Blower

  • Specifically designed for the any airport “snow belt” customer where the amount of accumulated snow on the runways exceeds the capacity of your brooms or plows.
  • Intended Use: cast or blow accumulated snow windrows beyond the paved runway and runway lighting

H-Series with Plow

  • Again, like the blower, designed for any airport “snow belt” customer but mainly for when the amount of accumulated snow on the runway exceeds the capacity of your brooms.
  • Intended Use: cast accumulated snow beyond the paved runway.  Even though snow plows may not clean the surface as well as a broom they typically have a higher capacity for snow removal than brooms.  If you are an airport without a snow blower, a snow plow may be your only option for casting snow off the paved area.

H-Series with Broom

  • H-Series with brooms are considered the a primary snow removal machine at most airports and suitable for any of you airport “snow belt” tractor buyers
  • Intended Use: Rotary power brooms on Oshkosh H-Series Chassis are proven to be one of the most effective runway snow removal tools available. Modern rotary power brooms have the ability to remove snow down to a clean, dry runway surface in most snow conditions. Larger, commercial airports may utilize large teams of these vehicles while smaller airports may be able to keep their runways open with only one or two vehicles.

H-Series Tractor

  • If you have the a need for a multi-tasking snow removal vehicle the H-Series Tractor is for you
  • Intended Use: This chassis is intended to be the prime mover chassis for a towed rotary power broom. A snow plow attachment on the front of the vehicle pushes the largest quantity of snow, while the trailing broom clears away the rest to a bare runway surface. This configuration can also accommodate an under body scraper or a liquid de-icing system. The Oshkosh H-Series Tractor is truly a multi-tasking, purpose built vehicle for airport snow removal.
