Meyer Products - A Full Line Of Sand And Salt Spreaders

Meyer Products and their dealer network offer a full line of snow removal equipment including tailgate, hopper in-body and under-tailgate products:

Blaster Tailgate Spreader

For light pick-ups to 1-ton vehicles, 1/2 ton+ Trucks, Tractors w/3 Point Hitch

The Blaster’s unique ½ horsepower, direct-drive motor is rated at up to 70 amps of surge power to grind through those annoying chunks of salt or sand. And the direct-drive system applies the torque directly to the auger.

One-touch Auto Control   

One-touch operation provides you total control over Blaster spreaders. The illuminated in-cab controller (patent-pending) includes buttons for the on/off switch, the "blast" mode which provides an on-command 70 amp surge, and a "vibrate" mode. You can also regulate the spinner speed with the variable speed controller.

Selecting the Auto Spinner Stop Mode will automatically stop the spinner from spinning when the truck's brakes are applied for more than five seconds. The Auto Vibrate Mode automatically vibrates the spreader for ten seconds every sixty (60) seconds to keep your load agitated and ready to spread.

The Polyhawk Spreader

In snow and ice control, high performance in any condition is mandatory, so Meyer includes many performance-enhancing components as STANDARD. No-tools-required top screen breaks-up large clumps of material which can cause damage to the drag chain and reduce performance. In addition, material is prevented from building up in the drag chain and slowing you down by including bolt-in chain shields as standard equipment. Standard inverted-V which helps prevent material from bridging and slowing down the conveyor.

Under Tailgate Dump Truck Salt Spreader

Under Tailgate Spreaders (UTG) and Replaceable Tailgate Spreaders (RTG) are available. Both spreaders use a combination of a self- contained auger with removable spinners, and can apply salt, sand or combination of both, from four to 40 feet.

Choose from Hydraulic or Electric:

If your truck has a central hydraulics system, and you wish to power the under- tailgate spreader off of it, you need Meyer’s hydraulic-driven UTG or RTG. The hydraulic-driven UTGs/RTGs can be powered using a direct drive or gearbox drive system. Direct drive provides higher performance and decreased maintenance, while gearbox drive provides better control at low spread rates for more efficient spreading.

If your vehicle does not have central hydraulics, or, you don't care to use central hydraulics to drive the spreader, you need our electric motor-driven options. Electric motors offer many ease-of-use advantages and are ideal for lighter, free-flowing materials.
