Why this range

Professional features without turning the carrier into a dedicated snow vehicle.

The range is designed around useful winter conversion: quick mounting, low electrical demand, impact protection and components that can be serviced rather than replacing the complete blade.

Vehicle-led selection

Start with the carrier class and route width, then choose manual or electric operation.

Rapid attachment

The receiver system allows the plough to connect with a single retaining pin once the vehicle bracket is installed.

Obstacle protection

Spring trip protection lets the blade react when hidden kerbs, speed humps or fixed obstacles are encountered.

Serviceable wear edge

The replaceable urethane edge protects the blade and helps reduce marking on finished surfaces.

Choose the correct plough

Five models across three vehicle and route classes.

The 1.5 m and 1.8 m UTV ranges each offer manual or electric lift. The 2.0 m pickup model adds powered lift, lower and angling from the cab.

1.5 m UTV ploughs

The compact route for narrower access, smaller utility vehicles and sites where manoeuvrability matters more than maximum clearing width.

Compact UTV

1.8 m UTV ploughs

The wider UTV choice for driveways, estate roads, parking areas and utility vehicles that can comfortably manage a 180 cm blade.

UTV / RTV

2.0 m 4x4 and pickup plough

The road-vehicle option for larger car parks, industrial yards, estate roads and dispersed sites reached in a 4x4 or 3.5-tonne pickup.

4x4 / pickup

How the system works

A receiver bracket, a single connection point and the correct control route.

The vehicle bracket is the foundation of the installation. Once fitted at the correct height, the plough can be attached quickly and its manual or electrical system connected for work.

1

Confirm the carrier and front receiver

Vehicle model, front-axle capacity, receiver position and operating environment determine the correct bracket and blade width.

2

Connect the plough with the retaining pin

The height-adjustable 2-inch receiver arrangement is designed for straightforward attachment and removal once the vehicle bracket is installed.

3

Select the control and power route

Manual UTV models use a winch. Electric UTV models carry their own rechargeable battery. The 4x4 model uses the vehicle's 12 V system for lift, lower and angling.

4

Set the blade for the route

Angle the blade to roll snow towards the chosen side, then use the trip system and urethane edge to protect the machine and working surface.

Shared design features

The same practical engineering across the range.

Model size and control method change, but the core blade construction and protection principles remain consistent.

Faulkner Brothers dedicated snow plough controller

Dedicated controller

The pickup installation gives the operator powered lift, lower and blade angling through a dedicated in-cab controller.

Trip springs on a Faulkner Brothers snow plough

Responsive trip springs

The blade can react to hidden solid obstacles, reducing shock loads transferred to the plough and carrier chassis.

Extruded aluminium mouldboard on a Faulkner Brothers snow plough

Extruded aluminium mouldboard

An anodised, corrosion-resistant blade structure provides stiffness without the mass of a comparable heavy steel mouldboard.

Storage castors fitted to a Faulkner Brothers snow plough

Optional storage castors

Castors make it easier to manoeuvre and position the detached plough during storage and seasonal fitting.

Two-inch receiver mounting on a Faulkner Brothers snow plough

Height-adjustable 2-inch receiver

The vehicle-specific front bracket establishes the correct mounting height before the plough is secured with its retaining pin.

Replaceable urethane cutting edge on a Faulkner Brothers snow plough

Replaceable urethane edge

The serviceable cutting edge supports smooth clearance and avoids treating the complete mouldboard as a wear component.

Fitment comes before blade choice

Check the vehicle, bracket and electrical route before ordering.

A plough that is correct in width can still be wrong for the carrier if the receiver height, front-axle loading, electrical provision or operating environment is unsuitable.

Use the fitment wizard

Information Kersten will need

  • Vehicle make, model, year and exact derivative.
  • Front receiver or towbar details, including fitted height.
  • Typical route width, surface and expected snow depth.
  • Whether manual lift, electric lift or full in-cab control is required.
  • Lighting, storage castors, cutting-edge and spreader requirements.

Where the range fits

Mobile winter clearance for organisations working across dispersed sites.

The carrier remains useful throughout the year, while the receiver-mounted plough adds rapid snow response when conditions demand it.

Frequently asked questions

Faulkner Brothers plough selection and operation.

How do the ploughs attach to the vehicle?+

The range uses a height-adjustable 2-inch receiver system. Once the correct front bracket is installed, the plough connects using a retaining pin. Vehicle-specific fitment must still be confirmed before ordering.

What is the difference between manual and electric UTV models?+

Manual models use a winch to lift and lower the blade. Electric UTV versions use an integrated rechargeable 12 V battery for lift and lower, while blade angling remains manual.

Does the electric UTV plough use the vehicle battery?+

No. The electric UTV models carry an integrated battery pack that is charged through its own connection, preserving the UTV electrical system for other functions.

How is the 4x4 and pickup plough controlled?+

The 2.0 m model uses the carrier vehicle's 12 V electrical supply and provides powered lift, lower and angling through an in-cab controller.

Why use a urethane cutting edge?+

The replaceable urethane edge is a serviceable wear component that supports smooth clearance and can reduce marking compared with allowing the main blade structure to contact the surface.

Can the same plough fit every UTV or pickup?+

No. The receiver concept is standardised, but the front bracket, installed height, vehicle capacity and operating suitability must be checked for the exact make, model, year and derivative.

Start with the vehicle and the route—not just the blade width.

Send Kersten the exact carrier details, expected route width, surface type and preferred control method so the receiver bracket and plough can be specified together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Faulkner Brothers Ploughs utilize a standard height-adjustable 2-inch receiver system, adaptable to various vehicles. This system can be bolted at different heights to align with a corresponding 2-inch receiver, often fitted as a front towbar. This is a common fixture on many utility vehicles, and front tow bar brackets are provided for a range of UK pickups and 4x4s. The plough connects easily with a single pin.

The ploughs are powered by a 12-volt battery. On larger 4x4 ploughs, they use the vehicle's battery and alternator, drawing a maximum of 28 amps, which is significantly less than typical electro-hydraulic systems. Ploughs for utility vehicles feature a built-in battery pack, charged via a connection port, which completely eliminates the load on the vehicle's battery system, preserving power for other functions.

Yes, sustainability is a core design principle. The plough blade is constructed from lightweight extruded Aluminium, reducing fuel consumption during transport. Additionally, the company prioritizes local suppliers for components, which significantly cuts down on associated pollution from global transportation and supports regional growth, while ensuring high-quality, long-lifecycle components.

Faulkner Brothers Snow Ploughs come with several key features to enhance performance and usability. These include a dedicated controller, responsive trip springs, a durable extruded Aluminium moldboard, optional storage castors for convenience, a secure 2-inch receiver bracket for attachment, and a resilient urethane cutting edge. These elements are designed to ensure effective snow clearing.

Faulkner Brothers Snow Ploughs are specifically designed for European 4x4s and Utility Vehicles. The product range includes various models, such as 1.5m and 1.8m ploughs for UTVs (with both electric and manual options) and 4x4 snow ploughs tailored for 3.5-tonne pickup trucks. Each plough is crafted to fit these vehicles precisely, ensuring optimal snow clearing capabilities.
