Kei Truck, Plows & Snowblowers 2026 Guide
by derekheidenreichNovember 8, 2025Installing a plow on a Kei truck, often known as a mini truck in the USA, is ultimately the right choice, especially given the advantages of accessing tighter spots, such as sidewalks, being street-legal like UTVs, and the wear and tear a standard plow can cause on a standard American truck. In this guide, we will cover the problems, the solutions, and the best snow removal equipment for Kei trucks.
The Problem?
Kei Plow Truck Problems
Kei trucks (mini trucks) are designed for road use rather than off-road use, unlike UTVs. Some Kei truck owners opt for heavy-duty plows designed for UTVs because they fit well. However, many UTV plows are too heavy for a Kei truck, weighing between 250 and 500 pounds, which makes the Kei truck unbalanced when mounted on the front. Kei trucks have a total load capacity of only 771 pounds, which should not be exceeded during snow removal, given the aggressive wear plowing causes.
The solution?
Kei Plow Truck Solutions
For those looking to equip a 25-year-old Kei truck (mini truck) with professional snow removal equipment, choose the lightest UTV plow with the simplest installation. However, a Kei truck plow may not handle heavy snow. In that case, a UTV-ready snow blower is a great solution. Below are the best plows and snow blowers for Kei trucks.
The Best Kei Truck Plow
BlackLine 60" blade plows
BlackLine 60" blade plows are the best plows for Kei trucks (mini trucks). BlackLine plows are the only plow manufacturer in the U.S. to advertise and engineer plows for Kei truck use. Weighing only 161 pounds and with a total angled locked plow dimension of 56 ¾ inches, most Kei trucks are between 55 inches and 58 inches wide, depending on the year. With a hydraulic pump, lift cylinder & angle system, down-pressure with a float, simple joystick controls, a 3-year warranty, and many dealers across America, this plow is the right choice.
The Best Kei Truck Snow Blower
Rammy Snowblower 155
When you have to deal with too much snow that your Kei plow truck can't handle, or you don't want to put excessive stress on your 660cc engine, the 61-inch-wide Rammy Snowblower 155 UTV PRO, although it requires a bit of custom welding, is the right choice for a snow blower. Although the snow blower is heavy at 330 pounds, it will experience less aggressive wear than a plow. With a dual snow auger that keeps the blower compact, the auger features a rubber sheet fuse to minimize damage in rock collisions. It also includes a Briggs & Stratton 420 cm³ on-board winter engine, remote control with rotation and angle adjustment of the discharge chute, and an engine on/off feature.
