VP/TK Towed spreader

Key benefits

• Ground-speed-related drive for a consistent spreading rate regardless of travel speed
• Dosing roller and mixing shaft for reliable material flow
• Easy attachment, operation and loading
• Reliable operation with low maintenance costs

VP/TK towed spreader

The VP/TK towed spreader is a proven and reliable solution for winter maintenance of local and regional roads. It is intended for spreading sand, grit and other spreading materials of suitable granulation, including mixtures of salt and sand.

The spreader is designed for easy operation and minimal maintenance. It is attached behind the vehicle using a towing hitch and guiding chains, and loaded directly by tipping the vehicle body. This enables fast and efficient work, including regular use in demanding winter conditions.

Efficient spreading system

The dosing roller distributes the spreading material evenly across the full spreading width. The mixing shaft prevents bridging in the hopper and ensures a reliable flow of material to the spreading mechanism, including when working with more demanding spreading materials.

The spreading mechanism is driven through a chain drive from the left wheel, so the spreader does not require the vehicle’s hydraulic system. As the drive is linked to the movement of the spreader, the application rate remains constant regardless of travel speed.

Easy operation

Spreading can be switched on and off manually directly on the spreader or via a control unit in the vehicle cab. The application rate is mechanically adjusted using a spindle, enabling quick and clear adjustment to road conditions and the type of spreading material used.

Safe attachment and operation

The VP/TK is attached to the vehicle using a towing hitch and guiding chains. The guiding chains ensure reliable tracking of the spreader during operation and help prevent unwanted contact between the vehicle and the spreader.

A protective grid shields the spreading mechanism from larger pieces of material during loading and also contributes to safer operation for the user.

Equipment tailored to your needs

The spreader can be equipped with traffic-signalling elements and work lights in accordance with operational requirements and the regulations of the country where it is used. A storage wheel is also available to facilitate moving and storing the spreader outside the winter season.

For even greater resistance in demanding winter conditions, selected components are also available in stainless-steel versions.

Corrosion protection

A zinc protective coating applied before final painting ensures a long service life. On request, the spreader can also be hot-dip galvanised, providing additional protection against corrosion and the effects of salt, moisture and other demanding winter conditions.
