Snow clearance Finnish style with Lannen + (Free Lannen Calendar Giveaway)

The Finns know a thing or two about dealing with the cold weather, February is usually the country’s coldest month, with temperatures ranging from -22 to -3o C and in the northern territories it can drop to as low as -30°C or even down to -50°C! Snow generally covers the ground in southern Finland from December to April, but as is the case in most Nordic territories daily life goes on uninterrupted. I was there in April this year and it was still cold, but crisp and sunny which was awesome and made you feel alive with all that fresh air, very exhilarating I loved it! 

 

Finnish equipment manufacturer Lannen offer a wide range of solutions to assist in snow removal and for cleaning up the grit from streets after the winter months. Among those equipment solutions is the Lannen Multimate system comprising of a Multi-Function backhoe loader and a dedicated trailer unit which is fully approved for working on Finnish highways. Effectively this set up allows one man and machine to operate independently on a whole range of tasks. Check out this video from Lannen to see how these versatile machines make life so much easier in difficult conditions.
