SNOWEX
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SNOWEX from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between SNOWEX broadcast and drop tailgate spreaders?
SNOWEX broadcast spreaders, such as the SP-1675 and SP-325, throw material over a wide area using a spinning disc, with maximum spread widths up to 40 ft. Drop spreaders, such as the SD-1400, release material directly below the spreader in a controlled band, which is useful for precise application on sidewalks or tight areas. Broadcast models are typically used for parking lots and roads, while drop models are suited for tractors and applications where accuracy is important. Both types are available in various capacities and are powered by the vehicle's battery.
What tank capacities are available for SNOWEX skid-mount sprayers?
SNOWEX skid-mount sprayers are offered in 100-gallon, 200-gallon, and 300-gallon capacities. The VSS-1000-1 has a 100-gallon tank and is designed for tailgate mounting on UTVs. The VSS-2000 is a cordless 200-gallon model for tailgate mounting on trucks. The VSS-3000 is a cordless 300-gallon sprayer for skid-mount installation on trucks. These sprayers are used for de-icing, dust control, and applying liquids such as de-icers, herbicides, or fertilizers. Selection depends on the required volume and mounting configuration.
What materials are used in SNOWEX tailgate spreaders?
SNOWEX tailgate spreaders are constructed with combinations of stainless steel, steel, and poly components. For example, the 3,120 lb capacity broadcast spreaders (MPN 86420 and 86410) feature stainless steel and poly construction. The SP-1675 and SP-325 use steel and poly. The SD-1400 drop spreader also uses steel and poly. These materials are chosen for durability and resistance to corrosion from ice melt and outdoor exposure. The specific material mix varies by model, so buyers should refer to individual product specifications for details.
Can SNOWEX spreaders be mounted on tractors, trucks, and UTVs?
Yes, many SNOWEX tailgate spreaders are designed for multiple vehicle types. The SP-1675 and SP-325 are compatible with tractors, trucks, and UTVs, using a hitch or receiver mount. The SD-1400 is compatible with tractors and uses a hitch mount. The 3,120 lb broadcast spreaders (MPN 86420 and 86410) are truck-mounted. Mounting method and compatibility should be verified against the specific vehicle's hitch or receiver. These spreaders are powered by the vehicle's battery, simplifying installation.
What are typical applications for SNOWEX equipment?
SNOWEX equipment is used for winter maintenance and liquid application. Tailgate spreaders distribute salt, sand, or ice melt on roads, parking lots, and driveways. Skid-mount sprayers apply de-icers, herbicides, or fertilizers, and are also used for dust control on roads and parking lots. The equipment is suitable for municipalities, contractors, and facilities that manage snow and ice on a seasonal basis. The range of capacities and spread widths allows selection based on area size and material type.
