Description
Small electric spreaders choke on wet salt when fixed chutes cannot clear tall flatbed platforms and high-profile dump bodies. The Buyers Products Company SaltDogg 8ft 2.0 Cubic Yard Electric Stainless Steel Hopper Spreader Adjustable features an adjustable-height chute to drop salt low on diverse truck heights. It holds 2.0 Cubic Yards of deicing media. High electrical current draws require a 160 Amp alternator.
The entire hopper body and structural floor use heavy 12-gauge 304 stainless steel that rejects road salt rust indefinitely. A full pintle chain conveyor features heat-treated steel cross bars welded to high-strength roller chain riding across a stainless wear plate. Two independent 12 Volt DC high-torque motors drive the chain conveyor and spinner disc through sealed, oil-filled gearboxes.
Adjustable Chute Bulk Deicing Hardware
Separate electric motor controls allow drivers to run the chain conveyor fast for heavy salt drops while holding a tight spinner broadcast. The adjustable chute telescopes to match exact bumper heights on tall truck beds.
- 2.0 Cubic Yard 304 stainless steel hopper carries 4400 pounds of bulk salt and sand abrasive blends.
- Telescoping stainless steel chute adjusts vertical height to deposit media close to pavement level.
- High-torque 3/4 Horsepower conveyor gear motor drags the heavy pintle chain through packed material beds.
- Independent 1/2 Horsepower spinner motor broadcasts deicing chemicals from 5 to 30 feet wide across streets.
- High-strength pintle chain conveyor pulls dense sand without slipping or losing positive mechanical drive.
- Stainless steel inverted-vee deflector breaks the weight load over the conveyor to prevent chain jamming.
- In-cab digital dual-variable controller provides independent dial adjustment of material feed and spread width.
Motor Amperage Draw Thermal Profiles
Dragging a full payload of abrasive sand draws 54 Amps from the truck 12 Volt electrical system at the conveyor motor. The independent spinner motor draws 24 Amps at 650 RPM. Conveyor gearbox surface temperature reaches 140°F after two hours of continuous parking lot clearing. The in-cab digital controller operates 12°F above cabin ambient temperature.
Snow Route Boundaries Preventative Guidelines
Commercial snow contractors, municipal street crews, and industrial plant managers clear expansive commercial lots with this 2.0 Cubic Yard unit. Do not install this unit on 1/2-ton trucks because loaded weight far exceeds light vehicle chassis ratings. Never leave wet bulk sand packed in the hopper between winter storms.
- Check pintle chain tension every 30 days and adjust tensioner bolts to maintain proper bottom clearance.
- Coat the steel pintle chain links with rust inhibitor oil at the end of each winter season.
- Inspect high-current 12 Volt truck electrical harness plugs for corrosion and apply dielectric silicone.
