Blade Runners has taken the following steps to improve our ability to meet the demands of extreme events.

Purchase of additional heavy equipment:

By far our biggest challenge was the amount and availability of heavy equipment.  Blade Runners has since purchased 8 additional loaders

In addition we have invested in 15 “Kage” Box/plow attachments. Please see the video below for further details.

Introduction of staging service:

We now offer a service that stages the new Box/Plow loader on the site for moderate events. This will insure immediate attention in heavy events for the future. Our clients have asked what can be done to insure faster service and this is the answer.

Reduction in the snow work load:

We found the largest jobs created the most scheduling havoc.  The quantity of snow created an exponential challenge. We have eliminated poorly located work of this type, and will be very careful to get a high service commitment from these properties in the future.

It is our feeling that these improvements will significantly improve our snow removal performance.

Blade Runners is in a position to provide Totes and Buckets filled with Ice B’Gone Magic Salt. We offer a service where the items are placed on your property at the start of the season, replenished as the season progresses, and removed/stored for the next season.

We have found our clients like to have this on hand to deal with specific problems. It can save you money from calling us out for very small service items. 

Please contact us if you would like a plan for this service.

Do You Believe in Magic?

Here at Blade Runners,  MAGIC is our best friend during the cold and snowy wintry season… MAGIC SALT that is.

MAGIC SALT is a highly efficient solid granular de-icer effective down to temperatures reaching -35. It can burn off up to 1-2″ if snow with NO plowing AND sustains a residual effect lasting longer than ordinary de-icers.

MAGIC SALT is the only product of this kind recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for being biodegradable, less corrosive for machinery and concrete, AND, most importantly, safe for people, pets, and plants.  Blade Runners cares about YOU–your family and pets, your home, and your environment. This is why MAGIC SALT is the singular product used by Blade Runners for snow and ice removal.  These photos are a testament to the effectiveness and success of MAGIC SALT .  

We have MAGIC to do…join us!
