You expect the Oshkosh H-Series to move a lot of snow fast, and this machine does not disappoint. The H-Series - which can shift swiftly from plowing to blowing to sweeping - employs blower-head engines rated up to 650 hp. Such trucks can cast 5000 tons of snow per hour. More than a ton per second!

Performance like that has made Oshkosh Truck the top name in snow removal at the world's busiest airports-180 pieces at Chicago-O'Hare alone.

Toughness alone, however, isn't enough. Plowing means long hours in the cockpit, so driver comfort is paramount. The H-Series responds with easy-to-reach controls, reverse-slope windshields that shed snow and ice, the finest air-suspension driver's seats, and with tilt/telescoping steering wheels and heated mirrors.
