SNOWBOB 9018 T SNOW BLOWER

ELIET SNOWBOB 9018 T TURNS CLEARING SNOW INTO A SPORT

In its design of the Snowbob 9018 T. ELIET has deliberately reached back to the essence of snow clearing, thus to develop an innovative and result-oriented design. In working out the concept, ELIET drew inspiration from the sport of bobsledding, where speed, steering precision, road stability, as well as weight distribution are central indispensable elements in the quest for an Olympic medal. And these are exactly the properties that ELIET has adopted as essential factors in its design of the snow blower. Endowing its Snowbob 9018 T with power, speed, simplicity and comfort as the...

Snow clearing demands utmost concentration on the part of the operator of the machine. One has to take into account the type of snow to be cleared and adjust the speed accordingly. The machine operator likewise needs to be alert for possible obstructions beneath the snow and has to maintain firm grip on the snow in order to steer the snow blower into the right direction. There is also the hazard of blowing the snow the wrong direction, necessitating prompt readjustment of the positions of both the blow chute and the directional deflectors. But, above all, the snow has to be removed as...

3. 225° VARIABLE BLOW CHUTE The position of the discharge chute is electrically controlled and is located on the joystick for ready access. Within a rotation range of 225°, the operator can easily and safely fix the direction in which he wishes to throw the snow. 4. DEFLECTOR FLAPS The directional deflector flaps on the discharge chute can be remote controlled electrically from the All-In-OneTM joystick. Two thumb-activated push buttons make lifting or lowering the stream of discharged snow very convenient. Moreover, the electric actuator has been mounted right by this dual deflector flaps,...

ELIET SNOWBOB 9018 T EFFICIENT CONTROL DASH-BOARD LEFT HAND SIDE CONTROL In the design of the instrument control dash-board, ELIET has given a control function to the operator’s left hand, which normally rests passively on the emergency (safety) lever. A small electrical joystick is positioned in such a way that it can be activated by the left thumb only. It serves to control the position of the snow clearing head. By involving the left hand, the operator can in essence control all of the fundamental components of the machine without having to move his hands away from their normal...

ELIET SNOWBOB 9018 T LATEST DESIGN FOR ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE THE AUGER UNIT When you look at the auger unit, you see sturdy reliability. The serrated auger has an aggressive set of teeth to resolutely bite its way into and through even frozen snow and ice. ELIET opted for 5 mm Hardox® steel that turns the auger unit practically impervious to wear and tear even under the most challenging conditions. Inside its housing, the auger is supported by solid cast-iron bearing flanges provided with grease nipples. 1.1 Armour plating The transmission gearbox has been provided with a solid protective...

ELIET SNOWBOB 9018 T OPERATORS COMFORT ELIET SNOWBOB 9018 T ZERO TURN ZERO TURN MANOEUVRABILITY It is expected of professional snow blowers that they will clear the snow from any location. For that reason, practically all machines in this market segment come standard equipped with a reliable set of caterpillar tracks. When operating a snow blower, it is a question of minimizing the risk of the tracks skidding on slippery surfaces. Being able to maintain solid traction is a skill required from every operator. The ELIET Snowbob is fitted with a dual hydrostatic pump and each of the tracks has...

ELIET HOT SPOTTM When the mercury dips beneath the freezing point, and there is furthermore a biting wind-chill that makes it even colder, one of the significant assets of the Snowbob 9018 T proves its full worth and value. The Snowbob has been provided with an operator heating system : ELIET Hot SpotTM. The motor of the machine is completely built into the hous- ing. The cool air that keeps the motor and the transmission at the optimal operating temperature is likewise being redirected inside the machine so that the now warmed air is channelled into the operator’s direction. Via a large...

ELIET SNOWBOB 9018 T TECHNICAL FEATURES LIGHTING In the winter months, daylight is short, which means that snow often has to be cleared before daybreak. It is therefore essential that good lighting is provided on the machine. ELIET has opted for 3 points of illumination: two lights of 55W on top of the machine will ensure optimal illumination across the operating zone. A third light that is mounted on the discharge chute illuminates the area where the snow is being dumped. This composite illumination system enables the operator to work safely with the machine. SNOW TRACKS Just as tires are...

DIRECTIONAL DEFLECTOR FLAPS The dual deflector flaps ensure the proper direction of both light powdery and heavy wet snow so that it can be discharged and deposited in the chosen spots. This deflector adjustment feature has been designed so that snow ejection can be adjusted to fall right beside the machine. This is very useful when clearing pedestrian walkways on shopping streets where there is not enough space to throw the snow far to the side. The electric actuator is mounted right by the deflector flaps, thus rendering the use of long cables supe

ELIET SNOWBOB 9018 T OPTIONS SPIKES When required to clear snow from icy surfaces, even with the special snow-pattern of the Bridgestone tracks the snow blower is not immune to slipping and skidding. Just as car tires can be fitted with special studs to avoid skidding on icy roads, likewise the tracks of the Snowbob can be fitted with such anti-slip studs. They can be purchased optionally per set of 20. SUPPORT WHEELS Whenever constant use of the Snowbob is required on hardened surfaces (e.g., concrete, asphalt, such as is customary for clearing parking lots, driveways, terraces, etc. …) the...
