When winter arrives, many construction owners face the same challenge every year:
projects pause, machines sit idle, but wages and overhead don’t stop.

But what if your “winter break” could become your most profitable season of the year?

Across northern regions, snow-removal services are booming—so much so that big equipment brands are buying back machines and rushing inventory to snow-heavy states. Why?
Because snow-removal is one of the highest-margin off-season businesses in the industry, and the demand is far greater than supply.

This is exactly where the RIPPA RS20 Skid Steer Loader becomes your secret weapon.

Why Winter Is the Best Time to Start a Side Business

1. Your existing construction resources are idle

Many excavator and loader owners experience the same winter dilemma:

• Job sites shut down

• Machines earn nothing

• Workers still need to be paid

• Fixed costs continue

Instead of letting your assets sleep through the season, winter is the perfect chance to turn idle equipment into new cashflow.

2. Snow-removal is a high-profit, low-competition market

Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:

• City streets, residential communities, commercial parking lots, and government buildings all need snow removal.

• Storm frequency is rising, and many regions face repeated snowfalls each year.

• Every storm means new jobs, often urgent, often paid at premium rates.

• Local governments and property managers typically prioritize small, responsive contractors who can maneuver in tight spaces.

It’s no surprise major brands quietly buy machines back from southern dealers and move them north—they know the profit potential.

If big companies see the money, why shouldn’t small contractors benefit too?

Why the RS20 Is the Ultimate Winter Money-Making Machine

The RS20 isn’t just another skid steer.
It’s a winter-focused revenue generator designed for maneuverability, efficiency, and multi-tool performance.

Below are the core reasons contractors choose the RS20 for winter operations:

⭐ 1. Small, Compact, and Built for Snow-Removal Contracts

The RS20’s body is compact, allowing it to access places larger loaders cannot:

• Residential communities

• Underground parking entrances

• Sidewalks and narrow streets

• Storefront pathways

• Small commercial zones

• Public facilities and schools

While big machines get stuck or cannot enter tight areas, the RS20 clears work others cannot bid on—giving you more jobs and higher margins.

Key RS20 size advantages (typical configuration):

• Overall width: around 1.1–1.2 m

• Overall height: around 1.9 m

• Turning radius: extremely tight, ideal for confined spaces

• Fast travel speed suitable for quick snow-removal dispatch

You don’t need a big loader to make big money—
you need a machine that fits everywhere snow falls.

⭐ 2. Multi-Attachment Capability = Multiple Income Streams

One RS20 equals multiple winter service offerings because of its strong hydraulic system.

Common snow attachments you can offer as paid services:

✓ Snow Push Blade

Fast, efficient snow clearing for parking lots, streets, and driveways.

✓ Rotary Snow Broom

Best for sidewalks, campus areas, plazas, and brick roads—no surface damage.

✓ Snow Blower / Snow Thrower

Perfect for heavy, packed or deep snow in commercial properties.

✓ Bucket for Ice & Debris Removal

Useful for cleaning after storms or for property maintenance contracts.

With a single operator and one RS20, you can easily handle:

• Community winter service contracts

• Private driveway subscriptions

• Commercial parking lot clearing

• Emergency snow-removal on call

• Municipal support services

Your RS20 becomes a complete winter business package.

⭐ 3. Power and Performance Designed for Heavy Winter Work

Typical RS20 specifications (depending on configuration):

• Rated Operating Capacity: 300–500 kg

• Engine Power: 25–30 HP efficient diesel

• Hydraulic Flow: High-flow system supporting heavy snow attachments

• Breakout Force: Suitable for packed snow and light ice

• Enclosed cabin optional: Keeps operators warm and productive

Even in low temperatures, the RS20 maintains strong pushing force and stable hydraulic performance—critical for winter reliability.

Real Reason Contractors Choose the RS20: It Prints Money in Winter

Let’s break this down:

✔ Low operating cost

Fuel consumption is minimal for a compact skid steer.

✔ High contract value

Snow-removal jobs pay more because they are urgent and seasonal.

✔ Immediate business start

Buy today → Accept snow jobs tomorrow.

✔ Works even when your excavator cannot

Excavators rest in winter.
RS20 works because it’s winter.
