The coated steel top screen helps break up large chunks of de-icing material during the loading process to help prevent clogging and bridging during spreader operation.

ADJUSTABLE DEFLECTOR

Redirect material onto the roadway and away from your vehicle by using an adjustable deflector that can be positioned in various directions.

TRUCK PROTECTOR FLAP

A Truck Protector Flap is an adjustable barrier bolted to the back of your tailgate that prevents salt from getting thrown into the truck bed, reducing the opportunity for corrosion.
