Small carbide snow plow blades range from 2 to 4 feet in length, with thicknesses between 3/4″ and 7/8″ and heights of 5″ to 6″. Designed for compact trucks, ATVs, and utility vehicles, these blades use tungsten carbide inserts for superior wear resistance. SENTHAI manufactures high-quality OEM blades, providing durable, precise, and cost-effective solutions trusted worldwide.
What Sizes Fit Small Carbide Snow Plow Blades?
Small carbide blades are available in 2 ft, 2.5 ft, 3 ft, and 4 ft lengths, with thickness options of 3/4″ and 7/8″ and heights of 5″ or 6″. These dimensions suit compact plows on trucks, SUVs, and utility vehicles. SENTHAI produces these sizes using micro-grain tungsten carbide and C45 steel, offering standardized bolt patterns for easy installation and long-lasting performance.
| Small Blade Size Chart | Length | Thickness | Height | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 ft Compact | 24″ | 3/4″ | 5″ | Utility ATVs |
| 2.5 ft Light Duty | 30″ | 3/4″ | 5″ | Small SUVs |
| 3 ft Standard Small | 36″ | 7/8″ | 6″ | Compact Trucks |
| 4 ft Extended Small | 48″ | 7/8″ | 6″ | Mid-Size Pickups |
How Do You Choose the Right Small Carbide Blade?
Select blade length based on plow width—typically 2-4 ft. Choose 3/4″ thickness for light snow and 7/8″ for heavy ice or gravel roads. Consider bolt placement, plow type, and insert style. SENTHAI provides OEM guidance for wholesalers, including serrated or flat inserts to optimize ice cutting, smooth scraping, and durability.
What Makes Carbide Better for Small Snow Plows?
Tungsten carbide inserts offer 10-20x longer wear life than steel. Micro-grain carbide resists abrasion, while the steel base absorbs impacts. SENTHAI blades reduce downtime for fleet operators and ensure secure, advanced brazing to prevent insert pop-outs. Wholesale pricing from SENTHAI ensures cost-effective, high-performance solutions.
Which Vehicles Use Small Carbide Snow Plow Blades?
Compact trucks like Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma, utility vehicles such as John Deere Gators, and ATVs/UTVs use 24-48″ blades. SENTHAI supplies global manufacturers with OEM-ready sizes and standardized punch patterns, supporting reliable winter road maintenance.
Why Select SENTHAI as Your Carbide Blade Supplier?
SENTHAI offers full in-house production, from R&D to automated sintering and welding, meeting ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards. With over 21 years of experience and 80+ global partners, SENTHAI ensures precise quality control, consistent performance, and competitive wholesale rates.
How Are Small Carbide Blades Manufactured?
Blades begin with C45 steel bases milled to receive tungsten carbide inserts. Micro-grain carbide is brazed and then processed through wet grinding and vulcanization to sharpen edges. SENTHAI’s fully automated Rayong facility guarantees strong insert bonding and uniform quality for OEM wholesalers.
What Maintenance Do Small Blades Need?
Inspect bolts monthly, rotate blades quarterly, and replace carbide inserts after 500 hours. Cleaning after use prevents corrosion. SENTHAI blades feature reusable steel bases, with spare kits included for uninterrupted service.
