Hi. In this snow plow pusher shovel with wheels review I will be looking at some snow pusher shovels with wheels. These roll as you push them forward, with the snow plow blade clearing a path roughly the width of the blade.
Snow plow pusher shovels are a more effective and less labor intensive way to clear snow from blocked driveways and paths in winter, than shoveling the snow by hand. It is also cheaper and requires less general maintenance than buying and running a gas engined snow blower machine.

Ivation Snow Plow Pusher Shovel
I will now be looking at the Ivation Snow Pusher Shovel with Wheels. This rolling snow pusher has 6 inch wheels to give good grip in icy conditions. There is a an adjustable metal handle with a padded grip that controls a lightweight yet sturdy shovel blade. Let’s list a couple of features.
Features and Specs
- Cushioned hand grip
- Handle adjusts up to 50 inch in height
- Wheels with special tread for improved grip performance
- Durable polypropylene shovel easily handles snow up to 6 inch deep
- Shovel dimensions are 26 x 13 inches
Questions and Answers
Is this wheeled snow shovel easy on the back (e.g. mine)?
The unit is pretty lightweight overall for a snow plow. The wheels on this thing means you can push the snow to clear a path, instead of the scooping motion you’d repeatedly do if you were using a non-wheeled snow pusher.
The Ivation snow pusher shovel enables you to do the pushing pretty much in a almost upright position, putting less strain on your back. The handle has height adjustment up to the 50 inch range to help with that kind of posture.
Some of the tiring motions when you are trying to throw the accumulated snow off the blade are lessened on this model to a degree. The grooves on the shovel blade direct some of the accumulating snow outward and off the blade path your are busy clearing.
The 26 inch width of the blade is wide enough to ensure that you don’t have to make too many passes when clearing snow from like your driveway for example.

Notes on Quality and Operation
If used to clear snowfall of up to 6 inches deep, the lightweight, easy to handle Ivation Snow Pusher Shovel no doubt shines. It will handle deeper snowdrifts, but the going gets tougher. The handle bar is height adjustable and while the polypropylene blade seems plenty sturdy, some people may prefer a metal blade.

Notes on Quality and Operation
The OHUHU Wheeled Snow Pusher Heavy Duty Rolling Snow Shovel can handle quite a good amount of snow. Some users claim that it doesn’t scrape a path completely clear down to the pavement, leaving a slightly slippery surface behind – most people seem to be happy with the plow’s operation though.
The large air filled wheels and the plow’s relatively light weight makes it easy to handle, plus the 5 pin position adjustable handle should have a setting that feels comfortable.
