2017 Fisher Steel-Caster 9' 3.0 cu yd

Built with the experience of more than six decades of battling tough New England ice storms, the FISHER STEEL-CASTER stainless steel hopper spreader is the ultimate tool in ice control. Low maintenance and rust resistant, this spreader is loaded with features to maximize control and minimize waste. Available in six sizes for pickup, dump body and flatbed trucks, the STEEL-CASTER hopper spreader is a de-icing machine engineered to own the ice.

Features may include:

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

• In addition to the standard dual electric motors, the Steel-Caster stainless steel hopper spreader is available with the following gas and hydraulic power options:

• Two Gas Powered Options: 10 HP I/C Briggs & Stratton motor or the 11 HP I/C Honda motor.

• Hydraulic Powered Option: With the most available power in its class, the hydraulic powered motor option offers dual variable speed control and reliable operation.

• Dual Electric Motor Control Enhanced dual variable-speed control allows you to precisely match material delivery and spread patterns to conditions.

• Four standard accessory buttons and a dedicated blast button provide optimum in-cab efficiency.

• Easy-to-understand, digital self-diagnostics alert the operator when the spreader is empty or when adjustments are needed, and LEDs make the control easy to read.

• Its compact size compared to traditional controls fits easily into todays modern truck cab designs.

• The chute design delivers material to the precise points on the spinner that cast it out and away from the truck, instead of back onto your bumper, reducing material waste.

• Constructed from maintenance-free, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the hopper is reinforced with welded joints, which wrap around for long-life and protection against stress.

• The easy-to-adjust circular shutter deflector allows directional spreading, providing optimal material control, while maintaining even coverage.

• One of the widest in the industry, the 16" pintle chain conveyor moves more material consistently and smoothly to help reduce bridging. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel guides provides extra protection and durability.

• An extra large 15" corrosion-resistant stainless steel spinner delivers a spread pattern of up to 40' and provides long-lasting operation.

• Operators can safely offload material or fill walk-behind spreaders by using the rear mounted conveyor dump switches. A third switch is also provided so that an accessory work light my be conveniently controled from not only the cab but also the rear of the hopper.

• The dual swing chute design opens from either side to provide easy access for maintenance or material unloading.
