The Arctic Force fleet spans multiple vehicle classes — from heavy-duty Class 5 plow trucks and medium-duty support units to dedicated wheel loaders and de-icing equipment. Every unit is GPS-tracked and pre-positioned at one of our 12 regional depots before the first storm of the season.
The core of our plow fleet is built on Ford Super Duty Class 5 cab-chassis trucks — chosen after a rigorous multi-season evaluation against competing platforms from multiple manufacturers. The Super Duty won on cold-weather reliability, payload capacity, upfitting compatibility, and service network depth.
Standardizing our primary plow units on a common platform means our mechanics know every component. Parts are interchangeable across depots. When a truck needs service at 2 AM before a storm, we fix it fast — because we've done it before on dozens of identical units.
475 lb-ft of torque and 430 horsepower. The Godzilla V8 is Ford's most powerful naturally aspirated gasoline engine — delivering raw, dependable power for heavy plow loads in the coldest conditions.
430 HP · 475 LB-FT TQOur Class 5 plow units carry a 19,500 lb Gross Vehicle Weight Rating — enough capacity for a fully loaded Boss 9'2" Power-V plow plus a 2-yard salt spreader without exceeding legal limits on city routes.
19,500 LB GVWR7,640 lb rated payload capacity means more salt per run, fewer refill trips, and faster coverage of large sites. In a storm that lasts 18 hours, that efficiency compounds dramatically.
7,640 LB PAYLOADOur primary plow units use a commercial cab-chassis platform engineered for upfitting. Boss and Western plow mounts install without frame modification. Spreader bodies bolt directly to the factory bed rails.
BOSS / WESTERN CERTIFIEDFord's 7.3L gasoline engine cold-starts reliably at −40°C without block heaters — critical in Northern Quebec where diesel gels and cold-morning starts are a real operational risk for competitor fleets.
STARTS AT −40°CWith over 900 Ford dealerships across Canada and the U.S., our trucks are never far from a certified service center. Ford's Commercial Vehicle Center program gives our fleet priority service lanes with dedicated technicians.
