The forklift truck has just increased in its versatility again! Broadwood International, European distributor of SnowEx spreading equipment, has launched the FSM-175 mount, designed specifically for attaching a SnowEx SP-1875 salt / grit spreader to fork tines.
“This mount really does breathe new life into the forklift,” says Steve James, sales manager at Broadwood. “At a time when operators are looking to reduce costs the FSM-175 mount increases the usefulness of the fork truck by turning it into a salt spreader using the forks as a mounting point, and the forklift’s 12v supply to power the motor.”
The FSM-175 mount is suitable for use with the SnowEx SP-1875 spreader which is proven in demanding conditions for its durability and efficiency.
Thanks to a powerful and reliable 12v motor no drive chains, belts or pulleys are necessary and the operator has full control of spread width and rate from the safety of his seat. The robust polyethylene hopper means zero corrosion, while the SnowEx range includes 11 other mount systems and a total of 9 spreaders for every application.
With legislation making salt spreading now a necessity rather than a luxury, the FSM-175 simplifies the spreading task for distribution centres, warehouses, dockyards and builder’s merchant yards across the UK and Europe.
