Serviceable Bearings

Sealed bearings extend lubrication intervals and provide a protectant against external residue and environmental wear.

Spread Pattern

The rotating distributor drums spread de-icing material in an even and consistent cross hatch pattern. This pattern is more efficient when tackling slippery surfaces, as materials have the opportunity to creep and cover more surface area, without excess materials being utilized.

Flexible Finger Bar

The unique polymer finger bar has a flexible memory in cold weather and retains its shape. The bar defines pressure and helps release an even quantity of de-icing material as seen with the cross hatch pattern when material is dropped.

Rotating Distributor Drum

The rotating distributor drums (sand or salt) further controls the rate of material that passes through the machine. It spreads de-icing material in an even and consistent cross hatch pattern. De-icing materials then "creep" and spread out which results in an efficient use of material.    

Tension Lever Assembly

The assembly regulates the rate of flow for different types of material (i.e.: fine sand vs coarse salt). The lever allows for fine tuning the rate of flow of material.

Agitator Bar

The agitator bar rotates in the hopper to help keep salt and sand from bridging or clumping. The bar ensures the material passes through to the drum and then to the ground for an even application.
