General –

• All hopper spreaders are completely self-contained, ultra-durable spreader units designed for ice and snow control.
• Rugged design allows for use with salt, sand and other materials.
• Complete assembly mounts easily on pickup, dump and platform trucks making it ideal for municipalities, shopping malls, industries, hospitals and private contractors.

• Electrically welded 12-gauge ends and steel sides sloped at 45º are constructed with channel formed top edges.
• 12-gauge vertical supports add extra strength to the unit.
• The single lift point on the cross support beam is located at the unit’s center of gravity to allow for easy loading and unloading.
• The floor is constructed of 10-gauge steel.

*Stainless steel models feature high-quality grade 304 stainless steel components, including: Hopper, Hopper Supports, Hopper Floor, Gussets, Spinner Chute Assembly, Deflectors and Engine Hood.

POLYMER MATERIAL HOPPER –

• Rotationally molded double-wall polymer unibody spreader with smooth angled walls to maximize material flow.
• Features integrated positive position mount system plus 4-piece ratchet tie-down kit.
• No drilling required.

• The conveyor is made of 12"wide all-steel pintle chain with 3/16"x 3/4"cross bars.
• Chain strength is 11,000 lbs. per strand; 22,000 lbs. total weight.
• The drive sprockets are 6-tooth cast iron, on a 1-1/8" diameter shaft.
• The conveyor chain has an adjustment range of 3-1/2".
• The drive shaft has heavy-duty, sealed, self-aligning ball bearings with grease fittings.
• The idler drum has heavy-duty 1" diameter ball bearings.

• Gear is constructed of aluminum bronze, worm gear is hardened steel and ground.
• Housing is made of durable cast iron. Gear ratio is 20:1 with 1" input shaft and 1-1/8"output shaft on tapered roller bearings.

• Lever operated with a friction lock for accurate adjustment.

• A polymer disc with four fins is connected to a 3/4"diameter shaft secured on two pillow block bearings.
• The spreading material is guided from the conveyor to the spinner plate through an enclosed 12-gauge chute with internal and external deflectors.
• Adjustable deflectors allow for complete directional spread control and full or compact spread.
• Total spread radius ranges from 2' to 25'. The extra wide rear deflector protects the rear and under carriage of the vehicle.

ENGINE –

• Heavy-duty 10.5 horsepower industrial/commercial Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine.
• Engine comes equipped with alternator and 12 volt electric starter with in-cab start/stop and electric throttle control (standard). Entire engine is completely protected by the convenient hinged hood.

• Throttle control unit allows for full-range of throttle settings,including idle and full choke,via the in-cab hopper control box.
• Use of electric throttle control eliminates cable freezing, binding and breaking.

CLUTCH –

• 12 volt DC electric clutch has a three-position in-cab switch, for greater control and material economy.
• Also allows for low speed operation and spot spreading.
