Hilltip Releases IceStriker Combi Spreader with 8-cu.-ft. Capacity

Hilltip has introduced the IceStriker 8000 CM Combi Spreader, featuring a capacity of 8 cu. ft. This truck-mounted unit is fully electric powered with the ability to spread bulk sand and gravel, bulk or bag salt, sand-salt mixes and fertilizers. It comes standard with Hilltip’s GPS speed control system and has an integrated liquid tank for pre-wetting material as it’s spread or directly spraying brine on driving surfaces.

The IceStriker 8000 CM can be powered by 12V or 24V dual motors, which are mounted inside a sealed, weather-resistant enclosure. An automatic GPS speed control adjusts the material rate according to vehicle speed, enabling consistent target rate. It works with Hilltip’s HTrack tracking software, which utilizes two-way GPRS tracking software for real-time equipment monitoring and control. 

The integrated liquid tank has a 370-gal. capacity for pre-wetting material, which can help reduce salt usage. A spray bar can be added for de-icing applications, as well as a 40-ft. hose reel for spraying hard-to-reach areas.

For corrosion resistance, the spreader has a stainless-steel auger and the modular hopper body is made of polyethylene. The IceStriker 8000 CM also includes features for material flow, such as an inverted V with a vibrator to help prevent bridging. Additionally, a stainless-steel flip-up chute is designed for spreading salt in environments with high humidity.

Other standard features include built-in tie-down loops, a top screen, tarp kit and an accessory wire for installing work and beacon lights.
