Buyers Products's SaltDogg municipal dump spreader (MDS) provides the practicality of a dump body combined with the convenience of a spreader that allows for four-season operation, according to the manufacturer.

The new MDS is offered in 10-, 12- and 14-ft. (3, 3.6 and 4.2 m) lengths with 36-in. (11 cm) sides and a 4-in. (10 cm) tailgate. The body is constructed from heavy-gauge, 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability. Its roll-formed sides and cross-memberless design provide for increased material flow and strength-to-weight ratio.

Designed with a three-stage, nitride, double-acting, front trunnion-mounted hoist, the MDS limits protrusion into the body cavity and allows for higher material capacity. Buyers' proprietary spinner assembly is engineered to be its most advanced material distribution system to date, providing efficient, balanced and cost-saving operation, according to the manufacturer.

Four-season use of the new MDS is possible with a removable, 7-gauge stainless steel conveyor cover plate and an adjustable flow gate, which can be interchanged with a coal chute. The proprietary spinner assembly also is easily removed allowing year-round use of the spreader body.

“The new municipal dump spreader is designed for superior durability and performance,” said Dave Zelis, director of sales and marketing at Buyers Products. “Along with four-season operation, it also offers several industry-first features and customization for every application.”
