Introducing the Hilltip® IceStriker™ H22746 800 IceStriker Spreader 5.5’ (0.8 cu yd): Compact Efficiency for Winter Maintenance
When it comes to effective snow and ice management in smaller areas, the Hilltip® IceStriker™ H22746 800 IceStriker Spreader is the ideal solution. This compact and powerful spreader is designed to provide maximum efficiency for light-duty applications, making it perfect for pickups, UTVs, and other utility vehicles. With its durable construction and precision control, this spreader offers a reliable, high-performance option for smaller roads, driveways, and parking lots.
Key Features of the Hilltip® IceStriker™ H22746 800 Spreader
1. 0.8 Cubic Yard Capacity with 5.5’ Hopper Length
The Hilltip® IceStriker™ H22746 is designed with a 0.8 cubic yard hopper, making it a compact but efficient solution for smaller de-icing jobs. The 5.5-foot hopper length is perfect for pickups and UTVs, allowing operators to maneuver in tighter spaces while still providing enough capacity to cover driveways, small parking lots, and pathways without constant refilling.
2. Durable Polyethylene Hopper
Constructed from high-density polyethylene, the spreader is both lightweight and highly durable, resistant to corrosion and tough winter conditions. This material ensures the IceStriker™ 800 performs reliably season after season, making it a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution for light-duty snow and ice management.
3. Adjustable Spreading Width and Flow Control
The IceStriker™ 800 offers adjustable spreading widths from 3 to 30 feet, allowing operators to adapt to the specific needs of each job. Whether you’re de-icing narrow paths or wider areas, the adjustable flow control ensures precise material distribution, reducing waste and improving efficiency. This feature is especially useful for operators who need to switch between different-sized areas during winter maintenance operations.
4. Electric Motor Drive for Low Maintenance
The spreader is powered by an electric motor drive, which eliminates the need for hydraulic systems, resulting in fewer maintenance requirements and a quieter, smoother operation. The electric motor ensures reliable performance and keeps the spreader operational throughout the winter season with minimal downtime.
5. Easy Installation and Removal
Designed for easy installation and removal, the IceStriker™ 800 can be quickly mounted on pickup trucks, UTVs, and utility vehicles. This lightweight spreader is easy to transport, allowing operators to move from job to job efficiently, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity during busy winter months.
6. Pre-Wet System Compatibility
The spreader is compatible with a pre-wet system, enabling operators to spray liquid brine onto salt or sand before it’s spread. Pre-wetting improves adhesion to the surface, reducing scatter and enhancing the overall performance of de-icing materials. This feature allows operators to use less material while achieving better results, saving on costs and improving operational efficiency.
7. Hilltip StrikeSmart™ Controller
Operators can fully control the spreader’s functionality using the StrikeSmart™ controller, a user-friendly touchscreen interface that provides real-time control over spreading width, flow rate, and material usage. The StrikeSmart™ system allows for quick adjustments, ensuring precision and efficiency throughout the job.
8. Real-Time Monitoring with Hilltip HTrack™ System
The IceStriker™ 800 can be integrated with the Hilltip HTrack™ system, offering real-time monitoring of vehicle location, material usage, and job progress. This fleet management tool allows operators and fleet managers to optimize routes, track job completion, and generate detailed reports, improving efficiency and accountability across winter maintenance operations.
