Hilltip is bringing its IceStriker 1200-4200AM combi spreaders to the North American market. Designed for half-ton vans and bigger, the brand new electric-powered spreaders not solely provide the distinctive potential to unfold granular salt, sand and gravel, but in addition might be reworked right into a liquid deicing sprayer – both pre-wetting materials because it’s unfold or straight spraying brine to the driving floor for anti-icing functions.

Powered by both 12- or 24-volt twin motors, the IceStriker combi spreader line consists of six fashions with capacities of 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 2.8, 3.4 and 4.2 cubic yards. The modular hopper our bodies are constructed of polyethylene and all mounted parts are stainless-steel, which helps forestall rust and corrosion. Spreading materials is pushed by a heavy-duty, 6-inch-diameter stainless-steel auger that includes a variable-pitch design to assist guarantee regular, constant move.

Each IceStriker spreader options liquid tanks built-in into either side of the double-walled poly hopper, which maintain as much as 220 gallons of liquid. By merely including the optionally available pre-wet liquid package, which features a pump and spray nozzle, an operator can pre-wet spreading supplies to assist activate the salt because it’s unfold and to scale back materials bounce. 

Moreover, by including the optionally available 6-foot, 7-inch twin spraybar, an operator can now spray brine straight onto the driving floor with a most 16-foot spraying width. This makes the spreaders splendid for all operations, whether or not they’re simply entering into liquid functions or are properly skilled in brine. The addition of a 40-foot hose reel and hand-held spray nozzle permits for simpler spraying in hard-to-reach areas, akin to on sidewalks and steps.

The controller additionally robotically collects and saves important information to a USB reminiscence stick. Logging information 24 hours a day, seven days every week, this function offers operators with spreading reviews that may cut back potential legal responsibility points – a profit to each contractors and prospects.
