One of the many and various tasks necessitated by winter weather is ice and snow management. This can be done manually if you’re the sort of person who likes standing around in the cold shoveling grit and snow, but the more sensible of us will look to SnowEx’s impressive range of utility spreaders for a more effective solution.

Ideal for councils, farmers, contractors, and private estate owners. The SP-575 Mini-Pro utility spreader enables the quick and efficient clearance of ice and snow from larger areas without freezing in the process.

A high-quality utility spreader designed for professional use, with the correct mounting the SP-575 can be fitted to a range of standard commercial vehicles, from 4x4s and ATVs to tractors and forklift trucks, for a cost-effective winter risk management solution. Once attached to your vehicle you can load the 163-litre hopper with up to 208.7kg of bagged rock salt or calcium flakes for distribution, with a 25.4cm nylon/glass reinforced resin spinner and a 12V electric motor in a sealed drive unit providing a maximum spreading width of up to 12.2m. Spreading width and density can be easily adjusted on the go thanks to an in-cab variable speed controller and by changing the speed of your vehicle, with a higher spinner speed offering a wider spread.

In-cab Control System

The convenience of the in-cab control system shouldn’t be underestimated (and not just because you get to stay in the warm while you work). The ability to adjust the spreading width as you work means you can adapt performance according to the area you are working in (with a wider spread tackling open spaces such as car parks efficiently but a narrower spread allowing for greater precision when required), while a “blast” mode provides an instant power boost for greater coverage in particular areas. What’s more the SP-575 is also supplied with a top filter screen and lid as standard to help ensure optimal performance, while for added versatility it can also be customised for use with calcium chloride pellets and bagged ice melters with the simple addition of the GAK-020 Gate Assembly Kit (available separately).

Designed for long lasting performance, the SP-575 is also reassuringly durable and easy to maintain. It’s simplified design, for example, means that there are no pulleys, sprockets, chains or belts to break so service requirements are minimal, while the powder coated steel frame and corrosion-resistant polyethylene hopper are both superbly sturdy and corrosion-resistant. Along with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty supplied as standard, this means you can depend on SnowEx’s SP-575 to provide a long and reliable service life.

(1) From September 1, 2017, certain new vehicles will be type-approved in accordance with the globally harmonized test procedure for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure, WLTP), a new, more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. From September 1, 2018, the WLTP will replace the new European driving cycle (NEDC), the current test procedure. Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emission values measured according to the WLTP are in many cases higher than those measured according to the NEDC. This may result in corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from September 1, 2018. The information given here relates to the type approval of the selected model in accordance with the World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure, WLTP.

(2) The specified consumption and emission values were determined according to the legally prescribed measuring procedure. Since September 1, 2017, certain new vehicles have been type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. From September 1, 2018, the WLTP will gradually replace the new European driving cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emission values measured according to the WLTP are in many cases higher than those measured according to the NEDC. This may result in corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from September 1, 2018. As far as new cars are concerned that are type-approved according to WLTP, the NEDC values are derived from the WLTP values. They are used solely for purposes of comparison between the various vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (attachments, tire format, etc.) can include relevant vehicle parameters such as B. Weight, Rolling resistance and aerodynamics change and, in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior, influence fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures of a vehicle.
