I have a drain in the center of my garage floor. It is a 3" PVC pipe that is connected to my perimeter drains. Unfortunately, it sits just a little high on one side so you need a squeegee to push the water to it. I also have two of them on the cellar floor connected to the perimeter drain. Never had a need for either of them. Put them in incase a pipe were to burst and flood the basement.

The shop where my tractor lives does not have any drains and is flat with radiant heating. I remove as much snow manually as I can outside before moving it inside. I then turn on a standby electric furnace to quickly increase the temperature to help melt any remaining snow. After this I usually do other things for a while and then mop up the floor. I also elevate the blower a bit on wood blocks so as not to create rust marks on the concrete.
Around here they have the mindset that if you have a floor drain you are going to do an oil change and dump the old oil down it, so they are not allowed. I remember years ago been involved in the building of a 30 x 30 garage to house an ambulance. They were made to install pumpable dual underground chambers like what they have in service garages.

get a big floor squeegee and push the water out the door or into the floor drains
My snowblower was encased in ice after the past weekend's storm. I positioned it so it was getting full sun and today I took advantage of the "warmth" and with the help of my pry bar I could break up the ice chunks and get the augers moving again. I also noticed that one shear pin was of a different size than the other, so I removed it to investigate. It turned out to be an undersized regular bolt had been installed. I figured out that when I was in the hospital having a hip replacement my neighbor used the tractor to clear the driveway for my wire. He broke a shear pin and replaced it with what he had available. I put the correct shear pin in its place.
