Mechanical design of snowblower for utility and all-terrain vehicles

The ATV-connected snowblowers are widely utilized for various applications as they offer rapid and efficient snow removal in a controlled manner. These machines are particularly popular in Nordic countries where is a high demand for snow removal equipment during the winter season. The snowblowers for the ATVs and UTVs demand convenient attachment and detachment to the various models of the vehicles, should be efficiently manufactured with application of Design for Manufacturing techniques for sheet metal. This thesis aims to address the customer needs by bringing the ergonomic, universal and functional mechanical design for any types of off-terrain vehicles. The final prototype 3D assembly brings the development ideas to support the market with versatility and diversity in design as well as introducing the platform for various power source types.
