Winter preparation is underway, and a reliable cutting edge can make all the difference in how your equipment performs. For a limited time, May Wes is offering free shipping on custom UHMW poly cutting edges under 94″ — a great opportunity to upgrade before the snow season begins.
What Is a UHMW Poly Cutting Edge?
A UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) Polyethylene cutting edge is a durable, non-metal blade edge used on snowplows and loader buckets. Unlike steel edges, UHMW glides quietly over paved surfaces, won’t gouge concrete or asphalt, and maintains flexibility in cold temperatures. It’s an excellent option for operators who need a surface-friendly, low-maintenance blade.
Why Choose a Poly Cutting Edge?
Our custom UHMW Poly Cutting Edges are designed to improve performance while protecting your equipment and surfaces. Key benefits include:
-
Protection for paved surfaces — UHMW glides easily across concrete and asphalt, reducing scratching, gouging, and wear.
-
Less build-up — The ultra-slick, non-stick material helps prevent snow and debris from packing onto the blade.
-
Reduced equipment stress — Poly edges absorb shock better than steel, minimizing vibration and wear on your machine.
-
Corrosion- and spark-resistant — Ideal for environments where metal edges aren’t the best fit.
-
Custom fit — Each edge is fabricated to your specified length and bolt-hole pattern for a precise installation.
Durability in Cold Weather: Why UHMW Stands Out
One of the unique advantages of UHMW is how well it performs in cold and harsh conditions. UHMW is proven in cold-weather applications — where traditional steel or lesser plastics often struggle.
-
UHMW has been used for snowmobile skis and cutting edges in snowy environments thanks to its toughness in sub-zero temperatures.
-
It maintains impact resistance, abrasion resistance and performance even when temperatures drop well below freezing.
-
Because it absorbs virtually no water and resists corrosion, the material avoids becoming brittle or compromised when exposed to snow, slush and cold moisture.
In practical terms for your snowplow blade or loader bucket: a UHMW poly cutting edge won't crack or chip in subzero temperatures. This material is built to take on cold, wet, abrasive conditions.
Best Uses for UHMW Cutting Edges
A custom UHMW Poly Cutting Edge is ideal for:
- Truck snowplows, including V-plows and back plows
- Skid steer, tractor and ATV plows
- Snow pushers
- Loader buckets
- Sidewalk and path clearing
- Commercial and municipal snow removal
- Operators wanting to protect concrete or asphalt driveways and parking lots
Poly vs. Steel Cutting Edges
While steel has long been the traditional choice for snow removal, UHMW poly offers several advantages — especially for paved surfaces. Poly cutting edges run quieter, won’t spark, and won’t rust, making them ideal for residential, municipal, and commercial environments. They glide smoothly across concrete and asphalt without scratching or gouging and help reduce vibration and shock to your equipment. In cold weather, UHMW stays flexible and impact-resistant, while steel can become noisy, abrasive, and harder on both equipment and pavement.

FAQ
Will a UHMW poly cutting edge work on concrete driveways?
Yes. UHMW is one of the best cutting edge materials for protecting concrete and asphalt.
Does UHMW last as long as steel?
While steel wears differently, UHMW offers excellent abrasion resistance and often outlasts steel in paved, high-contact environments.
Is UHMW good for cold-weather plowing?
Absolutely. It remains tough, flexible, and impact-resistant in freezing temperatures.
Can I use a UHMW cutting edge on my skid steer?
Yes. UHMW works well on plow attachments, skid steer plows, and loader buckets.
