Are Your Winter Products Qualified?

Are Your Winter Products Qualified?

Winter products that are Clear Roads and Pacific Northwest Snowfighter (PNS) qualified have been evaluated by transportation professionals and researchers from all around the United States. Members of these groups evaluate equipment, materials, and snow fighting methods in real-world conditions. In support of safe winter traveling, these two groups are constantly working to identify “the most effective techniques and technologies to save agencies money, improve safety, and increase efficiency.” In our snow-fighting world, these two organizations provide an independent evaluation of the products that we are proud to sell.

The Qualified Product List

The Qualified Product List (QPL) is created by Clear Roads and PNS to review, test, and approve products used in the Pacific Northwest States. The QPL’s Mission is to “strive to serve the traveling public by evaluating and establishing specifications for products used in winter maintenance that emphasize safety, environmental preservation, infrastructure protection, cost-effectiveness, and performance.” Products on the QPL approved list are the top-performing and selling ones in the industry.
