STARK RELAX U-Plows, S-Model
Top-class snow handling
The S-model is suitable for use in 3 – 5 ton machines. Thanks to patented technologies, the U-Plow’s operating efficiency, work results and occupational safety are excellent. The U-Plow can be used to collect, move and pack snow into snow banks most efficiently.
The S-Model is agile and efficient, making it best suited for demanding and confined property maintenance sites.
Robust construction and practical features:
- Versatility: STARK FIT attachment system enables quick attachment changes.
- Evenness and safety: RELAX blade system ensures even plowing and reduces the amount of packed snow. The blade release mechanism protects the driver, the base machine and the implement from damage.
- High-quality work result: FLOATING FRAME floating system follows the ground surface precisely and reduces plough bouncing.
- Good controllability: SMOOTH MOTION side wing swivel system enables controlled plowing and a wide range of movement of the wings.
- Good controllability: SMOOTH MOTION side wing swivel system enables controlled plowing and a wide range of movement of the wings.

Technologies
RELAX – UNIQUE PATENTED BLADE SYSTEM
The RELAX blade system keeps the plow blades locked. The plow´s trace is smooth and the formation of the packed snow is considerably less.
When the blade strikes an obstacle, the blade system lock is released, the blade body turns backwards and the blade passes over the obstacle. This protects the driver, implement and base machine from collision damage.
The plow with the RELAX blade system can be pressed against the plowed surface, which allows removal of the packed snow.
How the RELAX blade system works:
- The blade body is mechanically locked by three joints (Figure 1.).
- As the load increases, the lock is released and the blade body makes a rapid and extensive evasive movement (Figure 2.).
- When the load is released, the spring returns the blade body back to the lock (Figure 1.).
- The blade release force can be infinitely adjusted by changing the angle of the joints (Figure 3.).
The greater the angle between the joints (Figure 1.), the lighter the lock will open. WHEN TIGHTENING THE NUT the release force DECREASES, WHEN LOOSENING THE NUT the release force INCREASES (Figure 3.).
SMOOTH MOTION -WING TURNING SYSTEM
Patented SMOOTH MOTION wing turning system with two hydraulic cylinders for extremely precise, controlled and wide range of U-plow´s side wings motion. The plow is easy to use and has an excellent work result.
The speed of movement of the side wings and the force of motion are constant throughout the course of motion, without any sudden changes. Easy manageability increases efficiency and security. Wide range of motion facilitates snow collection, stacking and narrow plowing (Figures 1, 2, 3).
FLOATING FRAME
FLOATING FRAME -technology gives you a very good working result.
The float closely follows the ground, the sliding plates and the positioning of the float reduce the bouncing of the unit during work. The implement can float vertically and horizontally (Figure 1.) without the implement being controlled by the base machine.
The float is positioned at the implement mount, which also allows the payload of the swivel frame and a good focus on the implement (Figure 2.). The sliding plates are maintenance-free (no lubrication required) and dampen plow bounce (Figure 3.).
STARK FIT
The STARK FIT is a tool attachment system that enables quick attachment between different basic machines.
Thanks to carefully designed sizing, the STARK FIT allows the use of more than 50 different adapters on the same implement. This increases the versatility and resale value of the implement.
Due to its rugged dimensions (16 pcs x M 24), it is also suitable for installing the largest implement mounts.
