UPFIT AND THROW DOWN

Activate Your Salt and Use Less

De-icing is where the money’s at, but salt and other de-icing materials come at a cost. The new FISHER^® pre-wet system makes better use of your inputs by activating the material just before it hits the spinner. Pre-wetting salt starts a chemical reaction that accelerates melting so you see results faster. As an added benefit, pre-wet granules bounce less, which means more of your material goes where it’s supposed to. In fact, studies show pre-wetting can reduce salt application rates by 20-30%.

Capacity

The pre-wet system poly tanks are sold in sets of 25- or 50-gallon pairs. The tanks are cross-connected to maintain equal distribution of the liquid across the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle.

STEEL-CASTER^™ models: Available in 50 gallon (two 25-gallon tanks) or 100 gallon (two 50-gallon tanks) kits.

POLY-CASTER^™ models: Available in 50 gallon (two 25-gallon tanks) kits.

Note: Additional tank kits are not compatible with a vibrator.

Easy-To-Access Fill Cap

An easily accessible cap allows for quick filling. Translucent tanks allow operators to see when liquid is running low, and molded-in volume marks show fill levels.

Controls

The updated FLEET FLEX electric hopper spreader control for the STEEL-CASTER^™ and POLY-CASTER^™ hopper spreaders includes a pre-wet accessory button which provides simple on/off* operation, allowing the operator to choose when to apply brine while spreading.

For operators who want additional flow control from inside the cab, a separate in-cab, full-featured control option is available, featuring a flow-control dial and warning lights that alert the operator of a clog or if the tanks are empty.

*On STEEL-CASTER gas and hydraulic models, the on/off switch is incorporated into the master accessory harness control panel.

**Image above shows full-featured, variable speed control with empty tank and clog indicator.

Pump System

The pre-wet system is supported by two different pump systems.

When using the simple on/off control, the flow rate in the pump is set manually using the needle valve. Activation is controlled with an on/off switch in the cab.

When using the full-feature control, the manual, single-needle valve is replaced with two pressure sensors, a high and a low, to detect a clog or empty tank.

Corrosion-Resistant Pump Housing

A corrosion-resistant, fully enclosed housing protects the pump, electronics and valves from the elements.

Quick-Disconnect Coupler

Easily remove the chute and spray bar with the durable, quick-disconnect coupler.

*Available on STEEL-CASTER^™ hopper spreader models only.

Easy-To-Maintain Spray Bar

On STEEL-CASTER^™ hopper spreader models, the spray bar is located inside the chute, reducing the likelihood of a clog and making it easier to clean.

Compatibility

Compatible with:

All STEEL-CASTER^™ hopper spreader models.
All POLY-CASTER^™ hopper spreader models manufactured February 2016 or later.
Any POLY-CASTER model manufactured between 2009 and January 2016 with the purchase of an additional adapter kit.
