The Western Products Striker hopper spreader is available in six sizes. The stainless steel spreader is reinforced with wrap-around welded joints for durability. The spreader has a chute designed to direct de-icing material to precise points on the spinner to cast material away from the truck. A circular shutter deflector allows one-sided spreading operation, preventing materials from being spread to unintended areas. Two instant-start, 12V electric motors provide control over the 16-1/2" conveyor and spinner mechanisms. Gas and hydraulic options also are available. Electric models feature an enhanced, dual variable-speed control. Four standard accessory buttons, a dedicated “blast” button and digital self-diagnostics alert the operator when the hopper is empty or needs adjustments.
