Introducing the 1200 AM Hilltip IceStriker Spreader: A Game-Changer for Winter Maintenance

Winter maintenance is no small task, especially when you’re dealing with icy roads, parking lots, and sidewalks. At ZipEquip, we understand the importance of reliable and efficient equipment to get the job done right. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the 1200 AM Hilltip IceStriker Spreader – a high-performance salt and sand spreader that offers the perfect combination of innovation, durability, and ease of use.

Key Features of the 1200 AM Hilltip IceStriker Spreader

1. High-Capacity Hopper (1.2 cubic yards)

The 1200 AM IceStriker boasts a 1.2 cubic yard capacity hopper, making it ideal for medium to large jobs. This size allows operators to cover more ground without frequent refills, ensuring maximum productivity and efficiency.

2. Polyethylene Hopper Design

The spreader’s hopper is made from durable polyethylene, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, even in the harshest winter conditions. This lightweight yet tough material also makes the spreader easier to install and manage on your vehicle.

3. Adjustable Spreading Width and Flow

With an adjustable spreading width from 6 to 40 feet, the IceStriker gives you full control over the area you want to cover. Whether you’re working on narrow sidewalks or wide parking lots, this spreader adapts to your needs. The adjustable flow control ensures precise salt distribution, reducing waste and saving you money on materials.

4. Advanced Technology with HTrack™ System

The IceStriker features the Hilltip HTrack™ tracking system, an advanced fleet management system that allows you to monitor your spreader’s performance and manage operations in real-time. The system includes data on spreading amounts, GPS tracking, and live job reports, helping you optimize your operations and ensure accurate billing for your services.

5. Dual Auger and Spinner System

The spreader is equipped with a dual auger system, which efficiently feeds salt or sand to the spinner without clumping, ensuring smooth and continuous spreading. The spinner’s precise control delivers uniform distribution, preventing over-application or gaps in coverage.

6. Electric-Driven Motor

Unlike traditional hydraulic systems, the electric-driven motor in the 1200 AM Hilltip IceStriker is low-maintenance and eco-friendly. It provides reliable performance with fewer moving parts, which means less downtime and fewer repair costs.

7. Compatibility with Different Vehicle Types

This spreader is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, from pickup trucks to larger utility vehicles. Its compact design and universal mounting system make it versatile and adaptable to various fleets, making it a great addition to any winter maintenance operation.

8. Pre-Wet and Brine Compatibility

The IceStriker is pre-wet ready, which means it can spray liquid brine onto the salt before it’s spread, increasing the material’s effectiveness in melting ice. This reduces bounce and scatter, resulting in better coverage with less salt, which is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Benefits of Using the 1200 AM Hilltip IceStriker Spreader

• Enhanced Efficiency

With its large capacity hopper and advanced technology, the 1200 AM Hilltip IceStriker allows you to cover more ground in less time, making it perfect for contractors who need to manage multiple locations.
