Kawasaki to Exhibit Snowplows in Trade Show

 Tokyo, January 30, 2006 – Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. will be exhibiting its snowplows with subsidiary Nichijo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. at the Josetsu Kikai Tenjikai (Snow Removal Equipment Trade Show) on February 2 and 3 in Joetsu, Niigata Prefecture, northern Japan.

 One of the four featured models is the 50ZV rotary snow dozer, equipped with new NRT3 rotary snow-removal equipment. The dozer's engine meets the stringent emissions standards for construction machinery set by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. It also satisfies the ministry's noise standards.

 The KBR102 is the world's only 6WD, compact rotary snowplow, developed for narrow roads and sidewalks. In five minutes, the operator can switch from a rotary snow remover to a snow blade. With the snow blade and 6WD power, high-speed snow removal is guaranteed. A mowing attachment allows the plow to be used all year round. (exhibitor: Nichijo)

 The MV81 is a 1,500 mm wide, antifreezing-agent spreader for sidewalks and narrow roads. A wide range of attachments are available, including a rotary snow remover, antifreeze spreader, snowplow, mowing, water sprinkler and cleaner. (exhibitor: Nichijo)

 The FST500, designed for low-cost installation and operation, is an effective stationary antifreeze spreader that optimizes the timing and quantity as it dispenses. It sprinkles antifreeze in a radial motion through disc nozzles installed on the road surface, and allows easy changing of the coverage area. (exhibitor: Nichijo)
