Bad weather? Snow problem October 1st 2007 A cost effective means of keeping motorways and highways clear of snow and ice is
now available in the shape of Broadwood International's new Vee-Maxx SP-9500
Designed for spreading bulk grit, road sand or a grit/sand
mixture for snow and ice control, the mammoth 3200 litre
capacity, bed-mounted spreader can also be mounted on to
the SnowEx twin wheel chassis to create a stand-alone trailed unit.
Comprising of a large hopper measuring
1220mmx1320mmx3050mm manufactured from heavy-duty
polyethylene to eliminate corrosion and provide a light payload, the
SnowEx Vee-Maxx SP-9500 is equipped with a variable speed caboperated
controller with digital readout and pulse feature to clear
jams at the auger.The
hopper is supported
by a heavy-duty
powder-coated steel
frame and includes a
weather-tight
automotive style
wiring loom and
300mm spinner.
Safety features
include automatic
overload protection
with auto-reverse on
start up, hopper
mounted break light
and separate controls for auger and spinner. Being substantially
lighter than comparable steel units, the Vee-Maxx SP-9500 not only
helps health and safety concerns by being easily removed and
installed but also enables higher quantities of ice-melt product to be
transported due to less hopper weight on the vehicle.
The unit can easily spread a range of materials thanks to an
adjustable 'V' interchangeable grit/sand baffle and attached patented
vibrator system, which enables it to handle non-free-flowing material
such as salt/sand mix, bulk salt or moist material.
Designed with the end user in mind, the Broadwood SnowEx Vee-
Maxx SP-9500 has a low-maintenance, direct-drive system that
requires no belts, pulleys or chains. Powered by a heavy-duty direct
drive motor to provide maximum torque transmission, the unit offers
excellent spreading performance yet enables the host vehicle to be
freed up to perform other functions.
The SnowEx Vee-Maxx SP-9500 comes with a heavy-duty fitted
tarpaulin cover and a two-year limited warranty. Supported by
Broadwood International's renowned reputation for quality and
service the SnowEx Vee-Maxx SP-9500 is a further addition to the
SnowEx range, which now covers all applications ranging from
pavements, yards and car parks to side roads and public highways
and motorways.
