HillTip IceStriker™ | Sand & Salt Spreader for Trucks

COMBI SPREADER DESIGN

The Hilltip IceStriker™ 1200-4200AM is a 12V/24V electric sand and salt spreader designed for trucks with auger as feed mechanism. The lightweight modular hopper body made of polyethylene, and mounted parts in stainless steel, provides you long lasting protection against corrosion and rust. The IceStriker™ spreader and controller system helps you save money and reduces the impact on the environment, while achieving the same de-icing results as before.

LIQUID DE-ICING FUNCTIONS

The salt spreader can easily be transformed into a complete brine solution sprayer or into a pre-wet combi spreader that moistens the spreading material. Integrated tanks in the double walled hopper body holds up to 550 gallons of liquid. The spreader can optionally be equipped with a 6’7″ dual spray bar or a hose reel with hand-held spray nozzle.

OPTIONAL TRACKING SYSTEM

This spreader is compatible with our optional HTrack™ tracking software. You can track and manage all of your spreading devices online on your computer, tablet or smartphone. The program shows treatment route and spreading details on the map in real-time or between specific time intervals. Spreading route details such as speed, GPS location and material used can be summarized and generated as PDF reports.

You can reduce the salt usage with up to 30% with the optional liquid pre-wet system, and by 75% when using salt brine solution as de-icing method! This is direct savings for you and the environment.

We help you to make a clean and safe society !

FUNCTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

COLOR SCREEN CONTROLLER

The controller lets you customize your spreading session according to your current situation. Automatic GPS-speedcontrol adjusts the amount of spreading material (oz/sq ft) according to your vehicle speed, while manual mode lets you insert a fixed auger speed. The controller additionally collects and saves essential data to an USB memory, allowing you to generate spreading reports. The controller also makes it easy to turn on functions, like vibrator, beacon and work light, from inside the cabin.

FLIP UP CHUTE

Stainless steel flip-up chute, designed for spreading salt with high humidity

ELECTRICAL MOTORS

12 or 24 volt dual motors, mounted inside a sealed weather-resistant enclosure.

VIBRATOR

Vibrator prevents bridging and de-icing material from clogging by shaking the inverted Vee.

INVERTED V

Inverted-V helps reduce heavy start-up loads on the auger. All in stainless steel.

FEED MECHANISM – AUGER

Feed mechanism: Auger. Image shows the 6″ stainless steel auger.

LIQUID LEVEL INDICATOR

Built-in salt liquid level check for optional liquid system, which also includes an electronic sensor.

* Calculations based on the following application rates: Dry salt 30g/m², Pre-Wet 17g/m², Brine 35ml/m². With a Pre-Wet system the application rate is significantly lower, as the pre-wetted salt bonds to the ground and immediately start breaking up the ice.
