  • Dry aggregate hopper for efficient material storage.
  • Roller spreading mechanism that distributes material equally over the entire spreading width.
  • Mixing shaft to prevent the creation of a tunnel effect.
  • Compatibility with sand, crushed rock, and their mixtures with salt.
  • Mechanical control system with an integrated lever for precise dosage of spreading material.
  • Self-loading hopper powered by the vehicle's tipper box.
  • Robust construction with protective grid to prevent damage from material chunks.
  • Attachment via towbar and guiding chains to ensure safe operation by preventing contact between the spreader and towing truck.

IQ-100 Compact Spreader Control System (optional):

The IQ-100 is a compact spreader control system for smaller vehicles, featuring a 7-inch touchscreen for easy rate selection. It includes self-diagnostics and remote troubleshooting via a mobile app. The system uses a Parker IQAN-MC41 Controller for hydraulic functions and detects vehicle speed through pulse signals or a J1939 interface, which also tracks key engine data. Spreading activity data can be accessed by AVL services through the J1939 connection.
