Kei Truck, Plows & Snowblowers 2026 Guide
by derekheidenreichNovember 8, 2025Kei Trucks, Plows & Snowblowers
Installing a plow on a Kei truck, often known as mini trucks 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
It's essential to note that 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, as they are a good fit in size. 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 associated with plowing.
The solution?
Kei Plow Truck Solutions
The solution for those looking to equip a 25-year-old Kei truck (mini truck) with professional snow removal equipment is to choose the lightest UTV plow with the most straightforward installation. However, there may be too much snow for a Kei truck plow to handle. In that case, a snow blower designed for UTV installation 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. Being 330 pounds allows me to put 440 pounds in the back, or a bit more, providing a suitable balance. As a result, although the snow blower is on the heavy side, 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 collisions with rocks. 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.
