[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Pakistan is importing snow clearing vehicles to clear roads in the Northern Areas.

This is Rolba 1500 and it was manufactured in Switzerland by Bucher-Schörling.

The rugged BUCHER Rolba 1500 snow thrower for mountain pass and airport snowclearing operations. With a maximum clearing capacity of 3,500 tons per hour, a maximum casting distance of 40 meters and a snowclearing path of 2.5 meters this machine is predestined for such arduous applications. The combination of the high engine rating of 325 kW (442 hp) and the finely attuned hydrostatic wheel and auger drive gives the operator the capability he needs to cope with even the most challenging clearing assignments. As is the case with all other 4-wheel steering types. With its optimized weight distribution this machine is especially well suited for driving onto snow!
