STARK RELAX U-plows for over 10 t machines
VIDEO - Attachment in operation
General information
The STARK RELAX U-plows are suitable for over 10-ton machines.
Thanks to patented technologies, STARK U-plows are the most efficient and versatile on the market.
The STARK U-plow is a first-class snow clearing device with excellent manoeuvrability. Plowing is possible also when driving in reverse and snow removal and stacking is efficient and effortless.
The patented SMOOTH MOTION side wing turning system with two hydraulic cylinders enables precise, controlled and wide movements.
The patented RELAX blade release mechanism protects the operator, the base machine, and the implement itself from collision damage.
Thanks to the RELAX blade system, the blade remains locked during plowing, resulting in a smooth surface with significantly less packed snow. When the blade hits an obstacle, the blade system lock is released, the blade body turns backwards, and the blade gets over the obstacle. This protects the driver, the attachment, and the base machine from collision damage. A plow with a RELAX blade system can be pushed more forcefully against the ground to remove packed snow.
The patented FLOATING FRAME floating system follows the ground closely. The sliding plates and floating features reduce bouncing of the plow while working.
The centre wing in the STARK RELAX U-plow H-models is 1.35 m high and either 2.4 m or 3.0 m wide, with a total width of 4.2 and 6.6 m respectively.
The plows have welded adapters with several different options. Different versatile hydraulic options are also available for STARK-U plows.
For example, the four-way valve adds to the manoeuvrability of the RELAX U-plow by providing extra comfort and work efficiency.
The long life of the STARK attachment is guaranteed by the STARK service.

RELAX – UNIQUE PATENTED BLADE SYSTEM
The RELAX blade system keeps the plow blades locked. The plow´s trace is smooth and the formation of the packed snow is considerably less.
When the blade strikes an obstacle, the blade system lock is released, the blade body turns backwards and the blade passes over the obstacle. This protects the driver, implement and base machine from collision damage.
The plow with the RELAX blade system can be pressed against the plowed surface, which allows removal of the packed snow.
How the RELAX blade system works:
- The blade body is mechanically locked by three joints (Figure 1.).
- As the load increases, the lock is released and the blade body makes a rapid and extensive evasive movement (Figure 2.).
- When the load is released, the spring returns the blade body back to the lock (Figure 1.).
- The blade release force can be infinitely adjusted by changing the angle of the joints (Figure 3.).
The greater the angle between the joints (Figure 1.), the lighter the lock will open. WHEN TIGHTENING THE NUT the release force DECREASES, WHEN LOOSENING THE NUT the release force INCREASES (Figure 3.).
SMOOTH MOTION -WING TURNING SYSTEM
Patented SMOOTH MOTION wing turning system with two hydraulic cylinders for extremely precise, controlled and wide range of U-plow´s side wings motion. The plow is easy to use and has an excellent work result.
The speed of movement of the side wings and the force of motion are constant throughout the course of motion, without any sudden changes. Easy manageability increases efficiency and security. Wide range of motion facilitates snow collection, stacking and narrow plowing (Figures 1, 2, 3).
FLOATING FRAME
FLOATING FRAME -technology gives you a very good working result.
The float closely follows the ground, the sliding plates and the positioning of the float reduce the bouncing of the unit during work. The implement can float vertically and horizontally (Figure 1.) without the implement being controlled by the base machine.
The float is positioned at the implement mount, which also allows the payload of the swivel frame and a good focus on the implement (Figure 2.). The sliding plates are maintenance-free (no lubrication required) and dampen plow bounce (Figure 3.).
