Get the most out of carbide at a fraction of the price with MHL Blades

Tungsten carbide prices have surged over 200% in the past year. These price increases have challenged the entire industry. At MHL Blades, we have developed a solution that gets the most out of carbide at a fraction of the price.

Introducing the new BA Carbide Small Truck Snowplow Blade.

The technology behind the blade

The BA Carbide Small Truck Snowplow Blade isn't a compromise — it's a rethink. The blade starts with only American-made AR500 steel — engineered specifically to take punishment. But the real innovation is what happens next.

Rather than running carbide along the entire bottom edge of the blade, MHL's patent-pending process welds top quality, solid carbide dowels directly onto the backside of the highest wear zones on the blade. This placement isn't arbitrary — it's the result of studying exactly where blades fail first and protecting those areas with precision.

Here's where the science gets interesting: those carbide dowels do more than just add wear life. They allow the AR500 steel in front of them to work harden as you use the blade. AR500 contains manganese, and under the stress and friction of real plowing conditions, the steel's molecules flatten and compress — actually becoming harder than the original blade material over time. The blade gets tougher the more you use it.

This isn't an off-the-shelf import — it's a blade designed by people who understand what private contractors actually go through when conditions get ugly and the work has to get done

That's not something you get from a standard OEM blade.

What this means for your bottom line

The numbers tell the story clearly:

• Up to 7x longer wear life compared to a standard OEM blade
• Much less expensive than a full tungsten carbide blade
• Lighter weight than full carbide, reducing stress on your plow system and truck

The bottom line? A smarter investment up front means far less money spent across the season.

For a contractor running multiple trucks through a full winter season, that wear life advantage compounds fast. Instead of swapping blades mid-season or budgeting for multiple replacements per truck, the BA Carbide Small Truck Snowplow Blade is built to go the distance.
