From Inches to Feet of Snow and Ice, We Know Winter Weather
By Michael McClanahan / January 29, 2024

The early January cold snap this year brought sub-zero temperatures to the Front Range for over a week, reminding Coloradans that winter weather can get downright brutal, both on the plains and in the high country. It can also vary widely over relatively close geographical areas.

For instance, that same week, snowfall totals ranged from less than an inch in parts of Denver to nearly three feet in the foothills and mountains east of the Continental Divide. These conditions mean that snow and ice removal crews need to be ready for multiple scenarios and the tasks required to deal with them.

Fortunately, the O.J. Watson Equipment Company has the equipment to deal with any eventuality, including trucks versatile enough to handle a wide range of possibilities.

We Know Snow (and Ice)

From pickups to snowblowers, O.J. Watson Equipment sells, services, and repairs snow and ice removal equipment to help you tackle all types of winter weather, from dustings and ice to the inevitable “Snowmageddon.”

Oshkosh dual-engine blowers can throw as much as 5,000 tons of snow an hour as far as 200 feet making them the ultimate solution for clearing heavy storms from roads and highways to airport runways. We design central hydraulic systems that operate in conjunction with the latest, most sophisticated snow and ice removal equipment to operate snowblowers, plows, sanders, deicers, and snow disposal vehicles that keep roadways, lots, and airports safe and clear year-round.

If you want to upgrade your existing equipment, our expert designers and installers can build custom racks, cab guards, saddlebags, or any other addition or modification to make your truck—or your entire fleet—a perfect fit for your seasonal needs. We also retrofit and repurpose existing work trucks and can equip any truck with multiple attachments for maximum efficiency and ROI.

We Service What We Sell…and More

Everything from plows to hydraulics to tires need to be in good winter condition, as well as the truck itself. All it takes is for one thing to be damaged or broken for your truck to be stuck in the shop while your competitors are out the cashing in on the “white gold.”

That’s why we stock the parts you need to keep your trucks on the job and on the road, regardless of where you purchased them. Our suppliers are the most trusted brands in the business, and since we build custom trucks, we have more brands and varieties of OEM parts available than other dealers.

Plus, with 20 factory-trained mechanics on the floor in the Denver shop and 10 more in Greeley, we’re ready to keep your trucks performing at their best with minimal down time.
