No matter what the season, any time is a good time to visit Paul Dolphy at T & A Toppers and Accessories in Forest Lake. From parts and equipment, to new snow plows and truck toppers, Dolphy's business has it all.
Dolphy is pictured here with his son, McLean, who works as a shop technician at T & A. The two are shown with the shop's new service vehicle which is mounted with a new Blizzard Snowplow. Blizzard products were introduced by the shop this year to provide a line of equipment that is ideal for commercial snowplowers.
The new line of Blizzard products is in addition to the Western and Diamond snowplows carried by the shop. T & A Toppers is an authorized dealer this winter for all three manufacturers.
While Dolphy is pleased by the performance of Western and Diamond products, the new Blizzard line provides commercial snowplowers operating three-quarter ton or larger pickup trucks with an 8-foot plow which has a hydraulic extension to 10 feet. "It makes it a lot easier for parking lots," McLean says. The plow, which comes with a power hitch, is perfect for unobstructed area with its wide pass features and a bucketblade position for moving large volumes of snow.
The addition of the new line is just another way for the shop to serve more clients in this area.
With winter soon to fade into spring, now is also the time to start thinking about spring and adding new toppers or bed liners to your vehicles.
