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. The 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 cu yd models can accept up to (4) 25 gallon tanks. The 4.5 and 6.0 cu yd models can accept up to (4) 50 or 25 gallon tanks.

POLY-CASTER^™ models: Available in 50 gallon (two 25-gallon tanks) kits. The 1.5, 1.8, and 2.5 cu yd models can accept up to (4) 25 gallon tanks.

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 (except for the 0.35 cu yd model).
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.
