Founded by Rick Weihl, Sno-Power brings practical snow-removal experience and a drive to improve equipment together in one place: Muskegon, Michigan.
An equipment innovator with roots in the work itself.
Rick's background in landscaping shaped the way he approaches design: start with a problem an operator knows, then find a better way to solve it. His Hurricane Blo-Vac brought that thinking to debris removal, giving operators a stand-on blower with directional airflow.
That same practical mindset runs through Sno-Power. Rick's inventions include an adaptable hitch system and plow assemblies, with U.S. patents naming him as the inventor. His focus is on the details that matter during a storm: how the blade meets the pavement, how the equipment handles obstacles, and how it fits the truck.
