Henke Manufacturing products

When Henke introduced the Parallel Lift Plow our goal was to offer a plow that yielded superior plowing performance, ease of operation, and all around safety. Customers who switched from traditional chain lift plows agree that this is a better solution.

Henke has one of the largest if not the largest offering of straight plows (moldboard is the same height across the entire plow) in the industry.

Henke expressway shaped plows come in several styles and sizes. The following are the most common and most popular.  See the following accordions for available moldboard, pushframe, and trip assembly combinations.

The flat plate weighs less than a typical truck hitch. The flat plate hitch weighs about 450lbs, including the “cheek plates”/truck attachments, whereas a standard UQH style truck hitch (including truck attachments and lift cylinder) weighs about twice that much.

The SQH hitch/adapter allows a fleet manager to switch his truck portion hitch to the flat-plate design (reduces weight, better ground clearance, safer), while still coupling to his non-flat-plate plows. Basically, the truck side of the SQH connects to the flat plate on the truck, and the plow side couples with any of the commonly used plow hitches.

A very simple, single-pin connection system commonly used in the Northeast US. The QCP hitch (truck portion) drops a 2.5″ diameter, solid-steel pin through a loop formed of 2.0″ diameter solid steel on the plow portion. Connecting is fast, easy, and secure.

The “Quick Link” style is essentially the mirror image of the UQH style hitch. With the UQH, the jaws of the hitch are on the plow portion hitch. With the QL style, the jaws are on the truck portion of the hitch.

The Husting Hitch (and the verdict is still out on whether Husting rhymes with “Rusting” or with “You sting”) is a decades-old design that represented the industry’s first attempts at getting a plow to lift level. Although this design is being used less and less as fleets transition to the flat-plate/parallel lift style design, many fleets still use it.

The DB Dozer Blade can be used on a grader or loader, in summer as well as winter, enabling you to get maximum versatility from both machine and attachment.

The Henke Severe Duty Dozer Blade is a heavy-duty, high-curvature, box-panel reinforced dozer-blade for use on motor graders and wheel loaders. The extra heavy-duty construction allows operators to take an aggressive approach to snow removal.
