Skid Steer Universal Hitch, Push Style, Industrial Grade material spreader

This is a Skid Steer Universal Hitch Plate mounted to hinged "floating" arms and an adapter plate. This system allows a skid loader to push an Industrial Grade material spreader from the screed end (opposite side from where a truck would pull a spreader). The skid loader must have the capacity to easily lift and swing the material spreader model the customer wishes to purchase AND have the weight and traction to push a material spreader when it is fully loaded with aggregate or asphalt. The hinged "floating" arms allow the material spreader to follow the ground while material is being spread even though the skid loader may bounce or rock during use.

Skid Steer Universal Hitch, Pull Style, Industrial Grade material spreader

This is a Skid Steer Universal Hitch Plate mounted to hinged "floating" arms and an adapter plate. This system allows a skid loader to pull an Industrial Grade material spreader from the pull bar end (same side from where a truck would pull a spreader). The skid loader must have the capacity to easily lift and swing the material spreader model the customer wishes to purchase AND have the weight and traction to pull a material spreader when it is fully loaded with aggregate or asphalt. The hinged "floating" arms allow the material spreader to follow the ground while material is being spread even though the skid loader may bounce or rock during use.

Pull Bar Set, Custom

This is a custom engineered and fabricated pull bar set that is designed to be ready to go with a minimum of fabrication work being required by the customer. The length and design of the pull bar set will be pre-determined and fabricated to fit the hitch system style and truck bed design.

Truck Bed Chute Extension, i.e. “Duck Bill”

This is a floor plate extension or ledge that welds to the rear of a dump truck bed below the tailgate. This ramp makes the material leaving the bed of the truck land farther away from the rear of the truck. This option solves some material spreader mounting problems when the rear axle of a truck and the bed are both positioned very close to the end of the truck frame.

Truck Tail Gate Inspection Door

This is a weld-in part that creates a small door in a dump body tailgate. This door allows a user at the rear of the truck to control material flow independently from raising or lowering the bed of the truck. A tailgate door may be required for dumping material into material spreaders that are less than the width of the truck. In these situations, material would pour into and on each side of a small spreader if the tailgate were opened and the bed dumped normally. Multiple tailgate doors may be installed for use with very wide material spreaders. In this situation, a tailgate door on each side of the tailgate would help distribute material more evenly. Restricting the flow of material in the center and increasing the flow towards the outside of a large material spreader will reduce the work needed to keep the entire material spreader filled.

Truck Tail Gate Removable Wedge Mini-Door

This is a three door assembly and each 12" wide door can be opened individually 0"-8". The top of the door assembly attaches to the bottom of an opened tailgate in the wedge between the door and dump body. The bottom of the door assembly then latches into the retaining latch of the dump bed that would lock the tailgate shut. The door assembly requires no welding to install.

Spreader Mounted Side Loading Chute

This is an Industrial Grade material spreader option. The side loading chute makes it easier to side load a material spreader with a skid loader or backhoe.

Spreader Mounted Electric Hoist Bracket

This is an electric lifting system for use with all material spreaders. This system mounts on the spreader, and the Hoist cable attaches to a bracket that bolts or welds to the tailgate. A wire to power the hoist will be required.

Spreader Mounted Electric Hoist and Battery Box

This is an electric lifting system for use with all material spreaders. This system mounts on the spreader, and the Hoist cable attaches to a bracket that bolts or welds to the tailgate. The hoist is powered by its own battery. A wire from the truck to charge the battery is recommended.

Truck Bed Mounted Battery Box and Winch Assembly

This is an electric lifting system for use with all material spreaders. This system hangs on the tailgate and the cable attaches to the material spreader. The hoist is powered by its own battery. A wire from the truck to charge the battery is recommended.
Truck Bed Chain Hook Bracket, “Bolt on” This is a large bolt on bracket used for lifting the spreader if no chain or hook brackets are already available on the truck bed.

Truck Bed Chain Hook Bracket, “Weld on”

This is a small weld on bracket used for lifting the spreader if no chain or hook brackets are already available on the truck bed.

Truck Bed Chain Hook Plate, “Weld on”

This is a square plate with a laser cut chain slot. Available for use with 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" chains. Chain hooks or chain slot plates are required on the dump truck bed. These are used to chain the spreader off the ground in "travel" position during transit to the work site.
