42 Years of Know How
Founded in 1978, Arctic has grown to be the nation's largest self-performing snow management company, servicing customers throughout the greater Chicagoland area.
We are a year-round snow business with plenty to be done to get prepared for another Chicago winter. Harsh winters can be tough on people and machines and it is difficult to plan for all contingencies. That is why you need a team of experienced seasoned professionals on the job.
The Right Equipment, Dedicated to Your Site
At one time, the standard workhorse of the commercial snow removal industry was the pickup truck fitted with a plow. Today, construction equipment such as wheel loaders and compact skid steers, provide significant efficiency advantages that translate to better overall service.
Arctic has the largest private fleet of snow equipment in North America, with nearly 450 pieces of heavy equipment, which it replaces for brand new every year. These machines are dedicated to your specific site so they are always ready when a storm hits.
We Make Our Own Plows
In 1995, Arctic founder Randy Strait decided that he needed a better plow than was offered by any manufacturer...so he invented his own!
The Arctic Sectional Sno-Pusher, the most innovative plow that the industry had even seen, has been the # 1 rated snow pusher for each of the last 12 years. It eliminates the need to re-plow parking lots in order to get a finished look. It also reduces the need for salt by 50%, saving surfaces as well as the environment.
Reduced Liability from
Slip & Falls
Fact #1: The costs associated with slip and fall claims can easily bankrupt a company.
Fact #2: Slip and fall claims are at an all-time high.
Fact #3: Illinois law requires clients and contractor to share liabilities
It is imperative that you hire a service provider that follows rigorous safety protocols ensuring a documented level of reliable and consistent service, with inspection documentation (including photographs) that will frustrate many would be claimants.
