A winter service vehicle (WSV), or snow removal vehicle, is used to clear thoroughfares of ice and snow.

Winter service vehicles are usually based on a dump truck chassis, with adaptations allowing them to carry specially designed snow removal equipment.

Many authorities also use smaller vehicles on sidewalks, footpaths, and cycleways.

Road maintenance agencies and contractors in temperate or polar areas often own several winter service vehicles, using them to keep the roads clear of snow and ice and safe for driving during winter.

Airports use winter service vehicles to keep both aircraft surfaces, and runways and taxiways free of snow and ice, which, besides endangering aircraft takeoff and landing, can interfere with the aerodynamics of the craft.

A snowplow (also snow plow, snowplough or snow plough) is a device intended for mounting on a vehicle, used for removing snow and ice from outdoor surfaces, typically those serving transportation purposes.

Although this term is often used to refer to vehicles mounting such devices, more accurately they are known as winter service vehicles, especially in areas that regularly receive large amounts of snow every year, or in specific environments such as airfields.

In other cases, pickup trucks and front end loaders are outfitted with attachments to fulfill this purpose.

Some regions that do not frequently see snow may use graders to remove compacted snow and ice off the streets.

Snowplows can also be mounted on rail cars or locomotives to clear railway tracks.

Snow removal or snow clearing is the job of removing snow after a snowfall to make travel easier and safer.

This is done by both individual households and by governments and institutions.

Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty vehicles, specially designed for executing construction tasks, most frequently ones involving earthwork operations.

They are also known as heavy machines, heavy trucks, construction equipment, engineering equipment, heavy vehicles, or heavy hydraulics.

They usually comprise five equipment systems: implement, traction, structure, power train, control and information.

Heavy equipment functions through the mechanical advantage of a simple machine, the ratio between input force applied and force exerted is multiplied.

Some equipment uses hydraulic drives as a primary source of motion.

A truck (United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and Pakistan; also called a lorry in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, and India) is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo.

Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration; smaller varieties may be mechanically similar to some automobiles.

Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful, and may be configured to mount specialized equipment, such as in the case of fire trucks and concrete mixers and suction excavators.
