Westernplows MARAUDER™ STAINLESS STEEL HOPPER SPREADER
RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOBIt’s your job to make sure the world keeps moving … and to do that, you need ice control equipment you can rely on. The all-new MARAUDER stainless steel hopper lineup is engineered to get the job done right. Choose the best material delivery system for your operation based on the de-icer you commonly use … either the all-new HELIXX™ shaftless auger for precise rock salt application or the pintle chain conveyor that’s perfect for thick, heavy de-icing materials. Whatever choice you make, you’ll get the delivery performance you demand. |
HELIXX™ AUGER TECHNOLOGY
Patent-pending corkscrew material delivery system is optimized to operate in the target range for rock salt spreading best practices. The auger has multiple pitches to help promote smooth, even material flow from the hopper and prevents bridging. The shaftless technology reduces drag on the motor and reduces the overall load on the electrical system. |
PINTLE CHAIN CONVEYOR
The large conveyor delivers reliable, smooth, and consistent material flow for heavy, dense materials while reducing bridging. |
HOPPER CONSTRUCTION
The hopper is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and constructed entirely of rivets and bolts, with no welding. This provides a cleaner stainless look and is easier to repair for long-life and protection against stress. |
|
When equipped with the optional pre-wet accessory (S070C/S070A Models Only), it leads into the patented pre-wet mixing chamber. |
WIRING CHANNEL FOR EASE OF INSTALL
Channels on either side of the hopper allow wires and cables to be easily run from the hopper to the cab for a clean installation. |
STEEPER END CAPS
The end caps are at more of an angle to provide better material flow so the hopper load can be evenly spread with each fill. |
CHUTE DESIGN
Baffles within the chute deliver a consistent spread pattern that reduces material waste. By directing material to precise points on the spinner, it helps to cast it away from the truck rather than onto the back of your bumper. A direct drive motor offers better torque and reduces servicing. |
|
For precise material application, the chute assembly can be configured for either pickup truck or flatbed and dump body applications, ensuring you’re always spreading at the optimum height. An extended chute is standard on 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 cu yd models. Sold separately for 1.5 and 2.2 cu yd models. The ergonomic, hinged design opens from the driver’s side and swings to the passenger side, providing easy access for maintenance or material unloading. For convenient access to the hitch, the chute assembly can be removed. |
CHUTE POWER PLUG
Heavy-duty, weather resistant plug is IP-68 rated. Positive latching ensures a secure connection, even with vibrations caused by consistent travel. The plug has been tested to 5,000 mating cycles for durability for many winter seasons to come. |
SPINNER CHANNELS & SPREAD PATTERN
An extra-large 16″ polyurethane spinner delivers a broadcast spread pattern of up to 36′ for salt and 24′ for sand and provides long-lasting, corrosion-free performance. The ridges on the spinner ensure an even distribution of material throughout the spread arc. |
MATERIAL SPILL PROTECTOR (CHAIN ONLY)
A protection flap at the end of the conveyor prevents material from spilling out and pooling near the vehicle cab. |
TOP SCREEN & REPLACEABLE ANCHOR
A steel top screen comes standard, which helps break up large chunks of de-icing material during the loading process to prevent clogging and bridging during spreader operation. The anchor piece is now bolted on instead of welded for easy replacement. |
EXTENDED MATERIAL DELIVERY & PRE-WET CHAMBER
CHUTE ASSEMBLY|
Easy-to-understand, digital self-diagnostics alert the operator when the spreader is empty or when adjustments are needed, and LEDs make the control easy to read. Its compact size compared to traditional controls fits easily into today’s modern truck cab designs. |
ELECTRIC MOTOR
The two high-torque 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, while the conveyor motor is completely sealed from the elements. |
SHUTTER DEFLECTOR
The easy-to-adjust circular shutter deflector allows directional spreading, providing optimal material control, while maintaining even coverage. For quick adjustments, simply move the convenient hand operated lever. |
ACCESSORY INTEGRATION & KNOCK OUTS
Conveniently connect accessories directly into the 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. Hoppers feature knock-out holes for plug and play integration of certain accessories. |
DUMP & WORK LIGHT SWITCHES
Operators can safely offload material or fill walk-behind spreaders by using the rear mounted dump switches. A third switch is also provided so that an accessory work light may be conveniently controlled from not only the cab but also the rear of the hopper. |
FLEET FLEX ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WESTERN hopper spreaders are designed with FLEET FLEX technology for easy interchangeability 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 and play. |
CONTROL
TRI-SHIELD PRE-WET & LIQUID APPLICATION
For the first time, direct liquid application is available to WESTERN contractors with truck de-icing equipment. The Tri-Shield accessory system allows you to spread, pre-wet, and spray all with one hopper spreader. |
REARVIEW MATERIAL MONITORING CAMERA
Easily view your material output from the comfort of your cab by using the material monitoring camera. It attaches to the top of your spreader with an LED light for additional visibility during nighttime operations. The monitor is installed inside your cab so you can ensure a smooth spread pattern and optimal material output. |
