Hilltip introduces its line of IceStriker 8-15 Highway Combi Spreaders, high-capacity truck-mounted spreaders/sprayers engineered to meet the demanding requirements of highway and municipal winter maintenance operations, as well as contractors servicing larger projects.
Available with dry material capacities ranging from 8 to 15 cubic yards, Hilltip says the IceStriker LION also has liquid de-icing, anti-icing and pre-wetting capabilities. It comes standard with lateral liquid tanks, and up to four front-mounted tanks can be added to provide greater capacity. An optional dual spray bar is offered to create a 40-ft., working width for de-icing applications, the company adds.
The versatile IceStriker LION is available with either hydraulic or 24V/48V electric drive. Additionally, customers can choose between a 20-in.-wide chain conveyor or extra-large dual augers to feed material to the spinner. A stainless-steel inverted-V reduces heavy start-up loads on the augers or conveyor, while the standard automatic vibrator helps material flow freely, the company adds.
The flexible design of the IceStriker LION 8-15 Combi Spreader is available with numerous options, allowing customers to configure the unit to meet their individual needs. Hilltip says these include an end-of-material alarm system, flip-down ladder with handrails, leg stands with hook lift frame, and a two-piece tarp mechanism for effortless opening and closing.
“From conventional salt spreading to advanced liquid applications, the IceStriker LION is designed to maximize efficiency, performance and operator convenience,” says Craig Sandmann, managing director for Hilltip North America. “It’s a highly durable and reliable design, powered by advanced technology and offered with multiple options to meet the needs of highway operations and many other large-scale winter maintenance operations.”
Finished in high-visibility orange as standard, the spreader is also available in alternative colors to accommodate various fleets, the company says.
