J-Pyott Material Spreaders

The standard size material spreader adjusts from a minimum of 7’ wide up to a maximum of 12’ wide. We give the customer the option to pick a custom size if required. There are limitations as to how small and how large the spreader can be made given the limits of equipment, but usual sizes are 4’ to 6’, 5’ to 8’, 6’ to 10’, 7’ to 12’, and 8’ to 14’.

The Drag-A-Box material spreader can adjust from 0 inches minimum material thickness to be spread up to 8 inches maximum material thickness. Each side of the machine can be adjusted individually to create a slope to the material being spread. The spreader acts as a scraper if adjusted to 0 inches. The material spreader has very wide skids that are offset to the center of the spreader so that the machine will not sink into soft ground, and so that side by side pulls of material can be spread, such as when used to pave a parking lot.

All Steel Construction. Spreaders up to 10 feet wide are made of a combination of 3/16”, ¼”, and ½” thick A-36 Steel as needed. Spreaders over 10 feet wide are made of ¼” and ½” Thick A-36 Steel. All machines are fully welded by professional fabricators using parts fabricated on modern equipment such as Trump Plasma/Punch machines and the Hypertherm HPR260 fine cut plasma.

Durable Finish. A durable Black Powdercoat Paint finish is applied and baked on all of the Material Spreaders. This finish is chemical resistant to protect against repeated cleaning over years of use, scratch resistant to resist gravel and asphalt, and so beautiful you may not want to put it to work.

Long Life Components. The spreader uses mechanical jacks that are rated at 2000 Lbs capacity each that are designed to be removed for replacement or cleaning if necessary. The skids that touch the ground bolt on for easy replacement since they will eventually wear out after years of use. Heavy duty pins have been used instead of bolts wherever possible so that tools are not needed during normal operation.

Universal Hitch. The Drag-A-Box material spreader includes a truck attachment bracket (hitch bracket) and linkage bars (pull bars) that we have found will fit 90% of trucks, with some fabrication or modification required by the customer. Instructions are included that show you how to mount these brackets and bars to fit your truck, since no two trucks are exactly the same.
