Wheeled Snow Shovel Is Potent Green Alternative To Belching Snow Blowers
Eco-Friendly Device Quietly And Quickly Removes Snow Without The Emissions, Noise and Strain

New Canaan, CT. October 28, 2010 -- Structured Solutions II announced the launch of their newly-designed wheeled snow shovel this fall. The all new Folding Frame Sno Wovel® debuts in a new category of hybrid tools, combining safety for the user, protection of the environment and high-performance. The Sno Wovel is the only human-powered snow removal device performing equal to or better than a snow blower. No fuel, fumes and deafening noise to harm the environment or the operator. The Sno Wovel's zero-carbon footprint and maintenance-free design makes it a formidable competitor to noisy combustion engine snow blowers.

Safe and Easy on the Body:

Shoveling and snow blower Injuries result in more than 100,000 serious emergency room visits annually in North America. Cumulative injuries affect millions, resulting in lost time and productivity for recovery - all of which are now preventable while greatly improving performance. The University of Massachusetts, one of the top U.S. ergonomic research centers, has released the results of an independent study verifying that use of the patented Sno Wovel wheel-based shovel results in a 3-4 times reduction in lower back stress and cardio exertion. The innovative wheeled design allows for effortless snow clearing on all types of surfaces while avoiding twisting, bending and post snowstorm muscle aches.

Fast and Free to Operate:

The Sno Wovel can outperform snow blowers and is 3 times faster than shoveling, in all snow conditions, from slush to over two feet of snow and is designed especially for heavy snow. No special skill is required for commercial or residential use. Anyone can use the wheeled shovel and it is fully adjustable for body type and size. The folding frame model quickly folds down for easy and portable storage. Unique accessories include Gravel Wheels, a Chipper Plate for ice and packed snow, and an advanced composite Snap-On Wear Strip to extend shovel life.

The eco friendly Sno Wovel saves time, money, and gas - as well as the pain, strain and injuries so common with conventional shoveling. Maintenance-free, the SnoWovel costs far less than a combustion engine snow blower and can hang flat on the wall like a shovel. The Sno Wovel, priced at $119.95 msrp can be purchased online at www.SnoWovel.com and at specialty retailers throughout the USA and Europe. For additional information, consumers may call Sno Wovel customer service at 877.699.6835.

1. Edited: We have this one

The Dakota Sno-Blade.


They work really well.

4. I have one of those, too. It's great. I use it whenever there's just a

light snowfall. It's not much use when there's more than 3" of snow, though.

2. A snow thrower uses about two gallons of gasoline per winter

...Or so I was told. About as much gas as two round trips to work. I am considering buying one soon.

3. It's far from easier than using a snow blower, and does not

redistribute the snow over a wide area. In areas with winter-long snow accumulation, as in Minnesota, it's essential that the snow removed from a large area, like a driveway, be distributed over a large area, to prevent deep drifts alongside driveways and walks. The action needed to throw the snow, using that device is hard on the back, as well.

I use my snowblower to remove snow from my 24'x70' driveway, two other driveways of neighbors who are unable to clear snow, and from five houses worth of city sidewalks. I live in a neighborhood where many residents cannot afford a snowblower.

While this device might be suitable for small areas in places that do not receive a great deal of snow nor have snow that doesn't melt until Spring, it would be relatively useless here in Minnesota after the first couple of snowfalls.

With all the use I put my snowblower to, it uses about 3 gallons of gasoline each winter. Hardly a serious environmental risk, to be quite frank. At age 65, there is no way I could do the snow removal I now do without it.

Sorry, but you're quoting from a sales pitch for this device. I suspect you have never used it. The information is incorrect.

5. I think the wheel should have heavier treads or a wider base.

If you have snow over ice, that thing wouldn't be very stable.
