Striker Stainless Steel Hopper Spreader

Built with low-maintenance, rust resistant stainless steel, the hopper is reinforced with wrap-around welded joints for long-life and protection against stress.

One of the widest in the industry, the 15½" pintle chain conveyer delivers reliable, smooth, and consistent material flow to help reduce bridging. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel conveyor housing provides added protection and reliability.

An extra large 15½" polyurethane spinner delivers a spread pattern of up to 40' and provides long-lasting, corrosion-free performance.

An adjustable feed gate controls the amount of material flowing from the hopper to the spinner to regulate material flow and helps reduce waste when traveling between sites.

An adjustable-height drop chute accommodates both pickup truck and flatbed applications, ensuring a proper spreading height. A chute extension is standard with the 9' and 10' models. An extension kit is available as an accessory on 7' and 8' models. For convenient access to the hitch or for material off load, the chute assembly can be easily removed without the use of tools.

Two instant-start, 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable and independent control over the conveyor and spinner mechanisms.* The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion. *Gas and hydraulic options also available.

The dual swing chute design opens from either side to provide easy access for maintenance or material unloading.

Enhanced dual variable-speed control allows you to precisely match material delivery and spread pattern to conditions. Four standard accessory buttons and a dedicated blast button provide optimum in-cab efficiency. Easy-to-understand, digital self-diagnostics alert the operator when the hopper is empty or when adjustments are needed, and LEDs make the controls easy to read. Its compact size compared to traditional controls fits easily into today’s modern truck cab designs.

Conveniently connect accessories directly into the fully enclosed accessory hub mounted in the back of the hopper. Accessories automatically integrate with the hopper control without having to run additional wires from the front of the truck. *Feature available on dual electric motor models only.

Located at the rear of the hopper, two dump buttons run the conveyor for easily unloading excess material or quickly filling a walk-behind or tailgate spreader. Controlled by a third button, an accessory work light can be attached to illuminate the area at the rear of the spreader for better visibility when operating the dump buttons or working at the back of the hopper. *Feature available on dual electric motor models only.

The Striker^™ hopper spreader is designed with FLEET FLEX technology for easy interchange between electric hopper spreaders without having to change the wiring or the controls. It provides easy operation, increased reliability, simple wiring and easy installation. Additionally, accessories automatically integrate into the control for easy plug 'n' play. *Feature available on dual electric motor models only.

A standard inverted V located inside the hopper helps keep sufficient material weight off of the conveyor, ensuring smooth startup and flow of material. An optional vibrator kit is available to help reduce bridging and keep material moving to the conveyor.

In addition to the dual electric motor option, the following gas and hydraulic power options are available:

Two Gas Powered Options: The WESTERN^® Striker^™ stainless steel hopper spreader is available with two low-maintenance, gas-powered motor options. Choose either the 10½ HP Briggs & Stratton^® motor or the 11 HP Honda^® motor.

Hydraulic Powered Option: Providing the most available power of all motor types, the Striker stainless steel hopper spreader's hydraulic motor offers dual variable speed control and reliable operation.

Add additional spreader stability to your vehicle with standard nylon tie-down ratchet straps. An optional chain tie-down kit is also available.

The standard 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.

Before removing the drop chute, the operator can conveniently access the electrical disconnect for easy removal. Tie-down points are included for strapping the hopper to the truck. For additional safety, bolting bars are also provided to attach the hopper to the vehicle and a Center High-Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL) is standard.
