Western Products says its new Striker spreader is built with low-maintenance, rust-resistant stainless steel for long-life protection against rust and is reinforced with wrap-around welded joints for durability.
The Striker is offered in six sizes:
- 7 foot, 1.5 cubic yard
- 8 foot, 2 cubic yard
- 9 foot, 3 cubic yard
- 9 foot, 4.5 cubic yard
- 10 foot, 4.5 cubic yard
- 10 foot, 6 cubic yard
Specifically engineered to minimize waste and enhance spreading capabilities, the Striker hopper spreader features an innovative chute design to direct de-icing material to precise points on the spinner to cast material out and away from the truck. An easy-to-adjust circular shutter deflector allows one-sided spreading operation, preventing materials from being spread to unintended areas.
Two instant-start, 12-volt electric motors provide quiet and reliable control over the 16.5-inch conveyor and spinner mechanisms. The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing that protects it from corrosion. Gas and hydraulic options are also available.
Electric models feature an enhanced, dual variable-speed control to precisely match material delivery and spread patterns to conditions. Four standard accessory buttons, a dedicated “blast” button, and digital self-diagnostics alert the operator when the hopper is empty or needs adjustments.
