When it comes to industrial snow removal, East Coast Facilities isn’t just keeping up—they’re setting the pace. With a fully self-performed model, one of the largest snow fleets in the country, and specialized equipment like the Ceries Gravity salter, they’re redefining efficiency and control for high-demand, high-security sites. Snow Plow News takes you inside the contractor built for the facilities that can’t afford to shut down.
When it comes to snow and ice management, most contractors focus on clearing pavement. But for East Coast Facilities, based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, they understand your most precious commodity is time.
With a client base that includes Fortune 500 distribution centers, high-security campuses, and industrial hubs, East Coast Facilities has carved out a unique space in the snow removal industry. Their secret? A relentless focus on self-performance, innovation, and precision.
Efficiency Starts with the Right Equipment
East Coast Facilities recently shared insights into how their team is using equipment differently to improve jobsite efficiency—starting with salting. One standout is their exclusive use of the Ceries Gravity salter, a dual-function broadcast and drop spreader that’s mounted directly onto the same machines doing the plowing.
This integrated setup allows operators to plow and salt in one pass, drastically reducing the need for additional salting trucks on-site. It’s a strategic move that supports their broader goal: minimize fleet size while maximizing productivity.
“We needed something that could handle both wide-open areas and tight spaces,” an East Coast Facilities rep shared. “The versatility of this bucket system allows our machines to do both—without compromise.”
Self-Performed Service, Backed by One of the Industry’s Largest Fleets
Unlike many facility service companies, East Coast Facilities owns and operates its entire snow removal fleet. From loaders to custom plows to salt application systems, everything is managed in-house. This self-performance model gives them full control over quality, training, and reliability.
Their footprint includes markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota, and Connecticut—with expansion into new regions on the horizon. That growth is backed by a strong portfolio of high-demand, mission-critical customers who require 24/7 readiness and zero downtime.
Tech-Enabled Operations, Storm-Ready Teams
Technology plays a central role in East Coast’s snow program. Their fully automated fulfillment system manages projects from start to finish—including scheduling, real-time tracking, documentation, and reporting.
The company also keeps professional meteorologists on staff to guide decision-making before storms even hit. That weather intelligence helps clients plan ahead, minimize risk, and stay operational through extreme conditions.
Safety and Documentation at the Forefront
In an industry where safety and liability are constant concerns, East Coast Facilities has doubled down on both. Their dedicated corporate safety committee oversees snow operations and provides routine training to ensure crews operate with consistency and control.
Detailed recordkeeping and post-event documentation support clients’ risk management strategies, offering peace of mind for facilities that can’t afford uncertainty.
More Than a Contractor—A Strategic Partner
East Coast Facilities is more than just a snow removal provider. They’re a partner to facility and property managers who need reliable, efficient, and data-driven solutions. Their approach reflects a shift in the industry—away from reactive plowing and toward proactive, tech-enabled service.
For contractors watching trends in the industrial space, East Coast Facilities offers a compelling model for how scale, innovation, and specialization can combine to meet the demands of modern infrastructure.
