Get a better look at your high-quality work as you move onto the next job with the WESTERN® Low Profile tailgate spreaders. These high-density, single-stage, poly salt spreaders sit lower on trucks to deliver top spreader performance without affecting the operator’s view from behind the wheel.
The low profile tailgate spreaders feature corrosion-free polyethylene hoppers for long-lasting durability.
Material Delivery
Material is delivered by a powder coated, vertical steel auger. The unique design helps break up clumps and prevents material from spilling to provide long-lasting, reliable performance.
Electric Motor
A fully enclosed 12-volt electric, 1/3 HP motor is mounted inside a sealed housing, protecting it from corrosion.
Controls
Choose between a variable speed control with an "on/off" button and blast option to optimize material usage or a basic "on/off" toggle control (controls are sold separately).
Spinner & Spreading Width
Models 500 and 1000 both feature a durable 10" polyurethane spinner that delivers a spread pattern of up to 30'.
Model 2500 comes standard with a large, 15" polyurethane spinner that delivers a spread pattern of up to 30'.
Adjustable Feed Gate
On Model 2500, a specialized "saw tooth" feed gate and auger design combine to deliver complete, reliable flow control with positive shut-off, eliminating spillage and waste.
Cover
A latching, molded polyethylene lid protects de-icing material from the elements.
Ratchet Straps
Add additional spreader stability to your vehicle with nylon tie-down ratchet straps. Standard on the 500 and 2500 models only.
Mounting Options
The Model 500 tailgate spreader comes standard with a Class III receiver hitch mount.
The Model 1000 tailgate spreader requires the additional purchase of one of the available mount options: a Class IV receiver hitch mount, a fixed bumper mounting system, or the SWING AWAY® mount.
The Model 2500 tailgate spreader comes standard with a Class IV receiver hitch mount.
Reduce spillage of finer grained material by utilizing a 5-Flight Auger. A tighter corkscrew design with 5 turns over the same distance as the standard 3.
ADJUSTABLE DEFLECTOR
Redirect material onto the roadway and away from your vehicle by using an adjustable deflector that can be positioned in various directions.
TRUCK PROTECTOR FLAP
A Truck Protector Flap is an adjustable barrier bolted to the back of your tailgate that prevents salt from getting thrown into the truck bed, reducing the opportunity for corrosion.
