A snowplough works by using a blade to push snow to the side or straight ahead, clearing it from a surface. Modern ploughs may include a great deal of technology to make the job—and staying on the road—easier, such as Global Positioning System receivers, head-up displays and infrared cameras. Large custom snowploughs are mainly used at major airports in North America. These ploughs have oversized blades and additional equipment like a rotating sweeper broom (sometimes called jetblade) and blowers at the rear of the plow.

Large custom snowploughs are mainly used at major airports in North America. These ploughs have oversized blades and additional equipment like a rotating sweeper broom (sometimes called jetblade) and blowers at the rear of the plow. For footpaths (sidewalks) and narrow laneways small tractor mounted ploughs (tracked or wheeled) are used in Canada and the United States. Underbody scrapers are sometimes mounted on vehicles in residential and urban settings, operating on principles similar to a road grader, but allowing greater weights and speed along with the carriage of a road treatment applicator in some countries. Newer technology has allowed the use of articulated plough systems which can clear multiple divided highway lanes simultaneously; jurisdictions adopting this technology include Ontario Canada, along with Minnesota and Missouri in the US. In some European countries with high snow falls they use variable width ploughs and special buckets fitted with wings on wheeled loaders fitted with snow chains or studded tyres.
