Snow Removal
Salt Dogg Hopper  The SHPE1500 Salt Dogg is a completely self-contained, ultra-durable spreader unit designed for ice and snow control. The rugged design allows for use with salt or salt/sand mix. The complete assembly mounts easily on pickup, dump and platform trucks, making it ideal for municipalities, shopping malls, industries, hospitals and private contractors.

MATERIAL HOPPER - Rotationally molded polymer unibody spreader with sides sloped at 45° angles to maximize material flow. Features integrated positive position mount system plus 4-piece ratchet tie-down kit. No drilling required. Molded fork slots in hopper make for easy one man installation and removal.

AUGER - Screw-type auger system travels the length of the hopper floor, providing maximum material flow at a continuous rate. An independent spinner/auger controller allows for both independent spinner speed and an infinitely adjustable ratio between spinner and auger.

MATERIAL FLOW/OUTPUT - Salt, 2.2 cu. ft. / minute; Salt-Sand, 1.3 cu. ft. / minute. Spread width is variable from 5 to 38 feet.

SPINNER CHUTE ASSEMBLY - An 11.5" polymer disc with four fins is connected to a 3/4" diameter shaft. The spreading material is guided to a 3/4" diameter shaft. The spreading material is guided from the stainless steel trough to the spinner plate through an enclosed 12-gauge stainless steel chute with an external deflector. The adjustable deflector allows for complete directional spread control and full or compact spread. The extra wide deflector protects the rear and under carriage of the vehicle, while a stainless steel guard protects the assembly from accidental damage during operation. A convenient spring-latch locking mechanism allows the spinner chute assembly to be easily removed for cleaning/storage.

ELECTRIC MOTORS - Two ultra-quiet 12-volt DC direct-drive motors power the auger and spinner, and are protected in a stainless steel housing along with the independently powered vibrator. The wiring harness is constructed of 10-gauge automotive wire with non-combustible sheathing (-50° to -105° C). An in-cab console features independent controls for the auger, spinner and vibrator.
