Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - DUAL ELECTRIC MOTORS

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - POWER OPTIONS


DUAL ELECTRIC MOTORS

   
POWER OPTIONS

Two instant-start, 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable and independent control over the conveyor and spinner mechanisms.* The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion.

*Gas and hydraulic options also available.
    In addition to the dual electric motor option, the following gas and hydraulic power options are available:

Two Gas Powered Options: The WESTERN® Striker™ stainless steel hopper spreader is available with two low-maintenance, gas-powered motor options. Choose either the 10½ HP Briggs & Stratton® motor or the 11 HP Honda® motor.

Hydraulic Powered Option: Providing the most available power of all motor types, the Striker stainless steel hopper spreader's hydraulic motor offers dual variable speed control and reliable operation.
 

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - CONTROLS

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - INNOVATIVE CHUTE DESIGN


CONTROLS

   
INNOVATIVE CHUTE DESIGN

Dual Electric Motor Control

Enhanced dual variable-speed control allows you to precisely match material delivery and spread pattern to conditions.

Four standard accessory buttons and a dedicated blast button provide optimum in-cab efficiency.

Easy-to-understand, digital self-diagnostics alert the operator when the hopper is empty or when adjustments are needed, and LEDs make the controls easy to read.

Its compact size compared to traditional controls fits easily into today’s modern truck cab designs.
    Reduce material waste with this innovative chute design. Baffles within the chute deliver material to the areas of the spinner that cast it out and away from the truck, instead of back onto your bumper.
 

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - SHUTTER DEFLECTOR

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - CORROSION-RESISTANT HOPPER


SHUTTER DEFLECTOR

   
CORROSION-RESISTANT HOPPER

The easy-to-adjust circular shutter deflector allows one-side spreading operation, providing optimal control by keeping materials away from areas they aren’t needed, and spreading more evenly where they are.     Built with low-maintenance, rust resistant stainless steel, the hopper is reinforced with wrap-around welded joints for long-life and protection against stress.
 

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - MATERIAL DELIVERY

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - SPINNER


MATERIAL DELIVERY

   
SPINNER

One of the widest in the industry, the 15 ½" pintle chain conveyer delivers reliable, smooth, and consistent material flow to help reduce bridging. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel conveyor housing provides added protection and reliability.     An extra large 15½" polyurethane spinner delivers a spread pattern of up to 40' and provides long-lasting, corrosion-free performance.
 

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - ACCESSORY INTEGRATION

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - DUMP BUTTON & WORK LIGHT


ACCESSORY INTEGRATION

   
DUMP BUTTON & WORK LIGHT

Conveniently connect accessories directly into the fully enclosed accessory hub mounted in the back of the hopper. Accessories automatically integrate with the hopper control without having to run additional wires from the front of the truck.

*Feature available on dual electric motor models only.
    Located at the rear of the hopper, two dump buttons run the conveyor for easily unloading excess material or quickly filling a walk-behind or tailgate spreader.

Controlled by a third button, an accessory work light can be attached to illuminate the area at the rear of the spreader for better visibility when operating the dump buttons or working at the back of the hopper.

*Feature available on dual electric motor models only.
 

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - DUAL SWING CHUTE

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - DROP CHUTE


DUAL SWING CHUTE

   
DROP CHUTE

The dual swing chute design opens from either side to provide easy access for maintenance or material unloading.     An adjustable-height drop chute accommodates both pickup truck and flatbed applications, ensuring a proper spreading height. A chute extension is standard with the 9' and 10' models. An extension kit is available as an accessory on 7' and 8' models.
 

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - ADJUSTABLE FEED GATE

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - INVERTED V / VIBRATOR


ADJUSTABLE FEED GATE

   
INVERTED V / VIBRATOR

An adjustable feed gate controls the amount of material flowing from the hopper to the spinner to regulate material flow.     A standard inverted V located inside the hopper helps keep sufficient material weight off of the conveyor, ensuring smooth startup and flow of material.

An optional vibrator kit is available to help reduce bridging and keep material moving to the conveyor.
 

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - TOP SCREEN

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - RATCHET STRAPS


TOP SCREEN

   
RATCHET STRAPS

The standard coated steel top screen helps break up large chunks of de-icing material during the loading process to help prevent clogging and bridging during spreader operation.     Add additional spreader stability to your vehicle with standard nylon tie-down ratchet straps.

An optional chain tie-down kit is also available.
 

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - ADDITIONAL STANDARD FEATURES

   

Western STRIKER™ SPREADER - FLEET FLEX


ADDITIONAL STANDARD FEATURES

   
FLEET FLEX

Before removing the drop chute, the operator can conveniently access the electrical disconnect for easy removal.

Tie-down points are included for strapping the hopper to the truck. For additional safety, bolting bars are also provided to attach the hopper to the vehicle and a Center High-Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL) is standard.
    The Striker™ hopper spreaders are designed with FLEET FLEX technology for easy interchange between electric hopper spreaders without having to change the wiring or the controls. It provides easy operation, increased reliability, simple wiring and easy installation. Additionally, accessories automatically integrate into the control for easy plug 'n play.

*Feature available on dual electric motor models only.
