The following general information is web-sourced and may contain variances from the subject unit:
The 2005 Smith Stainless Steel (S/S) V-Box Spreader (Model SSV10A) is a commercial-grade, heavy-duty material spreader engineered for severe winter ice control. Manufactured by Smith Metal Works of Newark, Inc., this unit is designed to handle demanding de-icing agents like bulk rock salt, sand, or a salt/sand mixture.
Core Technical Specifications
- Hopper Body Construction: Fabricated out of durable, heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel. This provides maximum resistance to the highly corrosive nature of salt and chemical de-icers, vastly extending the service life of the machine compared to carbon steel units.
- Delivery System: Features a heavy-duty screw auger conveyor. Unlike standard chain-link models that can suffer from stretched links or frequent binding, the rigid auger design provides smooth, continuous material delivery and requires less seasonal maintenance.
- Power Source: Driven by a dual hydraulic motor system. This configuration derives its fluid power directly from the truck's central hydraulic system or a PTO (Power Take-Off) setup. Hydraulic drives are widely favored by municipalities and large commercial contractors for being virtually "bulletproof" in freezing conditions. One motor generally rotates the auger while the second independently controls the spinner disc speed to regulate the spread width.
- Top Screening: Outfitted with structural galvanized top grates (lump screens). These heavy-duty screens serve two safety and operational purposes: they break up frozen chunks of salt/sand before they reach the auger and prevent foreign objects or operator limbs from accidentally entering the live hopper.
Standard Operating Characteristics
- Inverted "V" Baffle: Units typically feature a standard internal stainless steel inverted "V" shield running above the conveyor line. This protects the auger mechanism by absorbing the crushing downward pressure of a fully loaded hopper, ensuring smooth start-ups under heavy loads.
- Mounting & Versatility: At 10 feet long, this spreader is built for medium duty to large municipal dump bodies or dedicated flatbed highway trucks. It features integrated side lifting rings to allow easy crane or forklift installation and removal between seasons.
