In an exclusive interview with Mike Bawling from Orec Industries, he discussed the challenges that municipalities and homeowners face when it comes to efficient snow removal. According to Bawling, “quite frankly using the old shovel method is a liability now.” This insight led to the development of a groundbreaking machine that changes how snow removal is done: the Snow Rhino.

The Snow Rhino is a zero-turn track machine designed to tackle the toughest snow removal tasks while being compact and nimble enough to reach hard-to-access areas like sidewalks. “This machine can replace about three shovelers,” Bawling explained. It’s small and light enough to easily fit into the back of a pickup truck without the need for a trailer, adding to its convenience and efficiency for municipalities and professional crews.
What sets the Snow Rhino apart is its versatility. The machine includes optional extensions to widen the plow blade up to 46 inches, making it ideal for larger sidewalks. Additionally, the adjustable blade length, plow angle, and hydraulic plow height give operators the control they need to clear snow with precision and avoid obstacles.
As Bawling put it, “we’ve provided a machine that combines both power and convenience,” and the Snow Rhino does just that. The stand-on design eliminates the strain of manual shoveling, allowing operators to stand while guiding the machine effortlessly through snow-covered pathways. This unique feature makes the Snow Rhino perfect for both professional snow removal teams and homeowners looking for an easier and more efficient way to clear their property.
