SnowEx Hopper Spreaders Perform to the Max

Douglas Dynamics says its new SnowEx V-Maxx G2 hopper spreaders offer greater performance and operating efficiency for contractors and municipalities on large ice-control applications. These hopper spreaders come equipped not only with updated controls and enhanced material-spreading features, but also:

• A polyethylene-constructed, multi-angled material hopper that helps provide a continuous flow of material to a heavy-duty auger drive.
• An attached vibrator that shakes the patented inverted V baffle to reduce material clumping for continuous material flow, whether spreading salt, sand or both.
• A self-diagnosing, digital, compact dual variable-speed control with independent adjustment of spinner and auger speeds; easy control of the standard vibrator and optional accessories with convenient buttons; an auto-reverse function to easily clear auger jams; and control only requiring a single four-pin wire to enter the cab.
• Selection from eight different V-box models, ranging in capacity from 1.5 to 6.0 cubic yards.
• Optimized material placement and control due to a spinner that starts at the desired speed setting on the dial, rather than blasting upon startup.
• A wider operating range for slower speeds to provide more efficient use of materials, while high speeds are still available for servicing larger properties.
• A spread width variable up to 40 feet.
• Suitability for use with full-size pickups, flatbed trucks or dump-bed trucks.
• Electric power, which means no engines, pulleys, sprockets, belts or chains to maintain.
• An efficient direct-drive auger transmission.
• The FLEET FLEX electrical system for a consistent electrical platform and complete fleet interchangeability between all V-Maxx G2 spreaders.
• Availability of liquid tank systems for pre-wetting material.
• A top screen, fitted tarp and an auxiliary LED brake light.
• A two-year parts and labor warranty.
• Optional accessories, such as lights, strobes and pre-wet systems, which easily plug into the control module and operate with simple on/off buttons on the control.
