The Results Are Clear

Perfect for spreading #1 rock salt, calcium chloride and other de-icing materials, these single-stage tailgate spreaders provide visibly better performance in an operator-friendly package. |

A fully enclosed ⅓ HP, 12-volt electric motor is mounted inside a sealed housing, protecting it from corrosion. |

The Low Profile tailgate spreaders feature corrosion-free poly hoppers for long-lasting performance season after season. |
Material is delivered by a vertical steel auger. The unique design helps break up clumps and prevents material from spilling. |
