The snow industry is about to witness a groundbreaking transformation thanks to Reach Right, the brainchild of its visionary founder, James Pladson. Recently awarded the prestigious SIMA Foundation Dean Fisher Innovation Scholarship, Reach Right has been garnering attention for its remarkable contributions to the commercial and residential snow removal sectors.
James Pladson and his dedicated team at Reach Right have poured their hearts and souls into creating a game-changing product that promises to revolutionize the way snow industry professionals work. Their tireless efforts have resulted in an ingenious Shovel Attachment that keeps workers upright, significantly boosting efficiency and productivity.

We've poured countless hours into designing a product that we genuinely believe will save time, money and reduce the risk of injury for snow industry workers. Reach Right is not just a quick money-making idea; we've always strived for durability and reliability to meet the demands of this industry.
