At ZipEquip, we’re proud to present the 3400 AM Hilltip IceStriker Spreader, a high-capacity spreader that offers 3.4 cubic yards of material storage, perfect for large-scale snow and ice management operations. Engineered for performance and built for durability, this spreader will help you maintain control over even the largest areas with ease and precision.
Key Features of the 3400 AM Hilltip IceStriker Spreader
1. Massive 3.4 Cubic Yard Capacity
The 3400 AM IceStriker features an industry-leading 3.4 cubic yard hopper, designed to carry an enormous amount of material, making it ideal for large jobs. This impressive capacity allows for long, uninterrupted operation, reducing the need for frequent refills and increasing overall efficiency. This spreader is perfect for large municipalities, airports, and expansive commercial properties.
2. Durable Polyethylene Hopper
Built from high-density polyethylene, the 3400 AM’s hopper is both lightweight and resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance. Its durability and resilience in harsh winter environments reduce the need for costly maintenance, allowing you to focus on the job at hand.
3. Adjustable Spreading Width and Flow Control
The 3400 AM IceStriker offers customizable spreading widths ranging from 6 to 40 feet, allowing you to tackle everything from narrow roads to wide highways. Combined with its precise flow control, the spreader ensures optimal material distribution, reducing waste and enhancing efficiency.
4. Hilltip HTrack™ Fleet Management System
Like other models in the IceStriker line, the 3400 AM features the Hilltip HTrack™ system, offering real-time tracking and fleet management capabilities. This advanced system allows you to monitor material usage, track vehicle locations, and generate detailed job reports, making it easier to manage your fleet and optimize performance. HTrack™ helps reduce costs and provides transparency for clients with accurate billing data.
5. Dual Auger System for Efficient Material Flow
The 3400 AM is equipped with a dual auger system that ensures consistent material flow, preventing clogs and allowing for smooth distribution of materials, even when using bulkier options like sand or gravel. This system provides reliable performance across a range of de-icing materials, giving you flexibility in your operations.
6. Electric Motor Drive for Enhanced Efficiency
The electric-driven motor eliminates the need for a hydraulic system, which significantly reduces maintenance requirements and operational costs. The electric motor ensures quiet, efficient operation and contributes to the spreader’s environmentally friendly design. The motor is low-maintenance and highly reliable, minimizing downtime during critical snow and ice management tasks.
7. Pre-Wet System and Brine Compatibility
The 3400 AM IceStriker is compatible with pre-wet systems, allowing you to apply liquid brine to salt or sand before it hits the surface. This not only improves the effectiveness of the material but also reduces scatter and bounce, resulting in better coverage and less material waste. The pre-wet system enhances the overall performance of your de-icing operations and helps you save on material costs.
8. Heavy-Duty Construction for Extreme Conditions
The 3400 AM IceStriker is built to withstand the most extreme winter conditions, with a rugged design that ensures durability even in the harshest environments. The high-density polyethylene hopper and robust auger system make it a reliable option for continuous use, whether you’re clearing highways, industrial lots, or large commercial spaces.
9. Versatile Mounting Options
The 3400 AM IceStriker can be mounted on a wide range of vehicles, from heavy-duty pickup trucks to large commercial vehicles. This versatility ensures that the spreader integrates seamlessly into your existing fleet, offering a flexible and effective solution for winter maintenance professionals.
