Plows, Spreaders, & Sweepers – High-Performance Custom Springs for Municipal Equipment

Municipal fleets rely on heavy-duty hardware—plows, spreaders, sweepers—to keep roads safe, clear, and functional through the seasons. These machines see extreme conditions every day: icy roads, corrosive salt, heavy vibrations, and nonstop cycles. Essential moving components, like hinge systems, tension controls, and actuation mechanisms, depend on high-quality springs and wire forms designed to endure.

At Ace Wire Spring & Form Co., Inc., we engineer and manufacture custom springs and wire forms that meet these demanding operational needs. Backed by over 85 years of U.S.-based manufacturing excellence, we offer municipalities and contractors precision-crafted components that help equipment stay reliable, durable, and easy to maintain.

Springs Built for Winter Toughness

Snow plows and salt spreaders demand robust spring designs capable of handling cold temperatures, frequent cycles, and abrasive materials. Our compression and extension springs are engineered with materials and finishes that resist corrosion and maintain consistent tension, even under repeated stress. Whether it’s ensuring smooth blade articulation or even salt distribution, the right spring can make the difference.

Wire Forms That Power Critical Mechanisms

Street sweepers incorporate wire forms for linkages, latch mechanisms, and mounting systems that must remain reliable in dusty, wet, and high-wear environments. Ace’s CNC wire forming capabilities produce intricate, high-tolerance components that align precisely within sweeping mechanisms, boosting reliability and reducing downtime.
