    Flexible Finger Bar: Sturdy polymer finger bar applies pressure on the distributor, guiding material while controlling quantity dropped. Designed to maintain it’s memory and flexibility in cold environments.

    Tension Lever: Standard across models, this assembly is designed to control the amount of pressure the finger bar places on the drum.

    Distributor Drum: Helically placed tabs drop material in a cross-hatched spread pattern that maximizes use.

    Agitator: Effectively breaks up chunks of de-icing material to ensure consistent flow.

    Sealed Bearings: Included for minimal maintenance.

  • Sand Drum (Standard)

    • The sand drum is constructed with powder-coated mild steel, and features small tabs welded in a helical patten across it’s surface. These tabs release pressure on the finger bar as the drum rotates, releasing material. The helical pattern creates a cross-hatched drop, which ensures an efficient spread of material.

    • The sand drum is standard across models unless alternate option is specified at the time of ordering.

    Salt Drum

    • The salt drum is constructed with tivar rollers that feature small pockets, milled in a helical pattern across it’s surface. These pockets allow for material to sit inside and drop as the drum rotates past the finger bar. The helical pattern creates a cross-hatched drop, which ensures an efficient spread of material.

    • The salt drum is recommended only when rock salt will be used exclusively.

    Galvanized Lid OR Vinyl Soft Cover

    • Protect material from the elements during operation.

  • The 440 has been designed with a bolt-on framework that requires an adaptable bracket to fit different vehicle attachment types.
