Hilltip introduced the IceStriker 8000 CM Combi Spreader, featuring a capacity of 8 cubic feet. The truck-mounted unit is electric-powered with the ability to spread bulk sand and gravel, bulk/bag salt, sand-salt mixes and fertilizers. It comes standard with Hilltip’s GPS speed control system and has an integrated liquid tank for pre-wetting material as it’s spread or directly spraying brine on driving surfaces.
The IceStriker 8000 CM can be powered by 12- or 24-volt dual motors, which are mounted inside a sealed, weather-resistant enclosure. An automatic GPS speed control adjusts the material rate according to vehicle speed. It works with Hilltip’s exclusive HTrack tracking software, which utilizes the industry’s only two-way GPRS tracking software for real-time equipment monitoring and control.
The integrated liquid tank has a 370-gallon capacity for pre-wetting material and a spray bar can be added for de-icing applications, as well as a 40-foot hose reel for spraying hard-to-reach areas.
The spreader has a stainless-steel auger and the modular hopper body is made of polyethylene. Additionally, a stainless-steel flip-up chute is designed for spreading salt in environments with high humidity. Other standard features include built-in tie-down loops, a top screen, a tarp kit and an accessory wire for installing work and beacon lights.
