Description
Lightweight tailgate spreaders leave trucks nose-high when operators pile heavy salt bags on top of open rear tailgates. The Buyers Products Company SaltDogg 1.0 Cubic Yard Electric Black Poly Hopper Spreader distributes weight forward over truck rear axles for safer winter handling. It holds 1.0 Cubic Yard of bulk salt. Material bridging occurs if wet rock salt sits unagitated.
A durable double-wall rotationally molded polyethylene hopper eliminates frame rust and shrugs off sub-zero winter impacts. A 5-1/4-inch variable-pitch continuous steel auger sits in a stainless steel trough to crush frozen clumps before feeding the spinner. Independent 12 Volt DC motors run inside sealed housings that protect electrical components from corrosive salt brine and pressure washing.
Compact Truck Deicing Hardware Matrix
This compact V-box drops into standard 6.5-foot and 8-foot pickup beds to turn light commercial trucks into efficient winter salters. The digital in-cab dial allows fast adjustments of spread widths from the driver seat.
- 1.0 Cubic Yard heavy poly hopper carries up to 2200 pounds of bulk rock salt and chemical deicing media.
- High-torque 1/2 Horsepower auger motor crushes salt clumps to maintain constant material feed.
- Independent 1/4 Horsepower spinner motor broadcasts deicers in variable patterns from 5 to 30 feet.
- 5-1/4-inch variable-pitch steel auger breaks up clumps and eliminates material bridging in the trough.
- 12-inch heavy polymer spinner disc resists chemical corrosion and stone impact gouging.
- In-cab digital dual-variable controller provides independent dial adjustment of material feed and spread width.
- Heavy steel top screen grates filter out massive foreign debris during loader bucket filling.
Electrical Current Telemetry Benchmarks
Operating with a full payload of dry rock salt draws 34 Amps from the truck 12 Volt electrical system at maximum speed setting. The motor housing temperature stabilizes at 126°F after 90 minutes of continuous parking lot treatment. Auger rotation speed holds at 24 RPM under load. Operating acoustic sound registers 64 dBA measured four feet from the rear spinner chute.
Compact Truck Application Scope Directives
Commercial snow management contractors clearing small strip mall plazas, church parking lots, and apartment complexes depend on this 1.0 Cubic Yard unit. Do not run coarse gravel or heavy aggregate sand through this auger unit because stones will wedge inside the auger trough. Never leave moist rock salt inside the poly hopper during warm weather breaks.
- Wash salt residue from around the spinner motor and auger gearbox after every winter weather event.
- Pump synthetic low-temperature grease into the main auger end bearings every 25 hours of operation.
- Inspect high-amperage 12 Volt truck battery connections for corrosion deposits every 30 days.
