ROCKLAND, Maine (March 4, 2020) – Fisher Engineering, manufacturer of FISHER® snow removal and ice control equipment, introduced the all-new STEEL-CASTER™ 0.7 cu yd stainless steel hopper spreader at the 2020 NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. This new spreader joins the STEEL-CASTER line by providing high-performance ice control capabilities specifically for half-ton and light-duty trucks.
In addition, FISHER has also unveiled the STEEL-CASTER 0.35 cu yd stainless steel hopper spreader, specifically for UTV and compact truck applications. It offers a high-quality, riveted construction and includes many of the same features of FISHER’s larger STEEL-CASTER hopper spreaders.
“Not all jobs are created equal, but they all need high-performance equipment,” said Tyler Jones, product manager for Fisher Engineering. “We designed these new STEEL-CASTER hopper spreaders precisely for half-ton and light-duty trucks, as well as UTVs and compact trucks, so more vehicles in a customer’s fleet can get in on the ice control game.”
Both new STEEL-CASTER hopper spreaders feature dual variable-speed control for precise control of material delivery and a flip-up chute for easy hitch access and clean-out. The lightweight, stainless steel, riveted construction provides durability without taking an excess toll on the vehicle.
The STEEL-CASTER 0.7 cu yd stainless steel hopper spreader offers a 54” long hopper with a 15 ½” pintle chain and up to 30 feet of spreading width. Meanwhile, the 0.35 cu yd stainless steel hopper spreader has a 30” long hopper with an 11 ½” pintle chain and delivers a spreading width of up to 30 feet.
Users have the option to add a pre-wet and direct liquid application kit accessory to the larger STEEL- CASTER 0.7 cu yd model. With the addition of this accessory, the spreader can also be used to pre-wet materials or spray brine directly onto the driving surface for anti-icing applications. The accessory kit includes two 25-gallon pre-wet tanks, a pump and a spray kit.
Additional accessories include:
- Extension collars to increase the material capacity
- Spill guard kit
- LED work light kit
- LED strobe light kit
- Central point grease kit
