The SaltDogg TGS02 tailgate spreader from Buyers Products is practical for both residential and commercial application of ice melt and bagged salt.

The 3-cu.-ft. (.08 cu m) capacity tailgate spreader features a frame to fit into a 2-in. (5 cm), Class 4 hitch, which does not require truck bed rail drilling. It is ideal for use on 1/2- to 1-ton trucks and SUVs.

The new SaltDogg TGS02 tailgate spreader features a horizontal-auger feeder design that gives contractors the flexibility to easily spread ice melt and bagged salt. An optional vibrator can be added for mixing salt and sand.

“Weighing just 64 pounds, this SaltDogg tailgate spreader has received great reviews as being the perfect size to get the job done,” said Dave Zelis, director of sales and marketing at Buyers Products. “It has a 1/3 horsepower, 12-volt DC dual-shaft gear motor and offers spread widths from 3 feet to 20 feet that are practical for both residential and commercial use.”

SaltDogg offers a complete product line of 12 tailgate spreaders. Each spreader is constructed from polyethylene, steel and stainless steel for top performance, durability and longer product life, according to the manufacturer.
