TAILGATE SPREADER BUILT ON BUSINESS

Independent contractors prioritizing efficiency and control rely on the FISHER® SPEED-CASTER™ poly tailgate spreaders for unmatched operational versatility. Working with a wide variety of vehicles, including UTVs, tractors, and trucks, these spreaders provide versatility for your operation. A powerful two-stage, auger-fed delivery system can broadcast salt up to 40 feet, quickly and efficiently covering more ground in less time. A standard inverted V helps to prevent bridging and ensures consistent material flow for maximum output.

Hopper Construction

Material Delivery

  • Heavy-duty steel auger delivers material to the spinner
  • Transverse auger system reduces downtime by automatically reversing until the obstruction is cleared

A latching, molded poly lid protects material from the elements.

The two high-torque 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable, independent control over the auger and spinner mechanisms. The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion.

The SPEED-CASTER™ 525 tailgate spreader features a 10″ spinner made of nylon/glass reinforced resin, and delivers a spread pattern of up to 30′.

The SPEED-CASTER™ 900 tailgate spreader features a 12″ steel spinner (shown above) and delivers a spread pattern of up to 40′.

An inverted V comes standard and helps keep sufficient material weight off of the auger, ensuring smooth startup and flow of material. It is directly connected to the vibrator to help reduce bridging and keep material moving to the auger.
