Snow has fallen in several provinces, including Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Hubei. Vegetable greenhouses and industrial facilities urgently need snow removal, and the drone snow removal business is booming. Drone snow removal is far more efficient than manual snow removal.
Several companies contract out snow removal from vegetable greenhouses, industrial facilities, and roads. The average price for snow removal from a greenhouse is 200 ¥ (24 €). The pilot inspects the site and the price varies slightly depending on the area to be cleared.
There are three main methods for drone snow removal.
- One is to use the drone’s propellers to scatter the snow.
- The second is to attach a snow removal device to the drone, which is very effective.
- The third is to spray snow-melting agents to remove the snow.”
According to a drone pilot from Zhumadian, Henan Province, the price of drone snow removal is not fixed and fluctuates greatly. Sometimes the price is calculated based on the area of snow removed, and sometimes it’s calculated by the hour.
