RTEL ELECTRIC REPLACEABLE TAILGATE

 
 

The Swenson Electric Replaceable Tailgate (RTEL) is designed for Doing More With Less. No expensive hydraulic system required. No hydraulic hoses to run. No complicated controller. The SEL utilizes the power of the vehicle's electrical system to drive the dual motor replaceable tailgate spreader. For snow professionals looking for performance without the added expensive and aggravation of complicated systems, think Swenson RTEL. It's that simple.

Swenson's RTEL series replaceable tailgate spreaders are designed to meet the needs of all types of users from municipalities to serious contractors looking to minimize their investment in their work truck without losing performance. The electrical drive system of the RTEL utilizes your existing electrical system so no expensive central hydraulic control or systems are required. Two industrial grade electric motors independently drive the auger and spinner using an in cab dual variable speed controller. The horizontally adjustable spinner frame allows the spinner to be positioned at the optimal location for accurate material spreading.

Finally, at Swenson, safety comes first. Swenson's unique Electric Interlock System (EIS) disables the auger and spinner during clean out and maintenance operations which provides a safer environment. The Swenson RTEL series spreader offers the ultimate in performance, material control, and safety. The RTEL replaceable tailgate spreader is the choice for snow and ice control professionals.
