Products - Replaceable Tailgate Spreader

Back To Main
 
  The Swenson Replaceable Tailgate Spreader is manufactured to fit most one-ton dump body trucks. This unit is the first of its kind to include an easy opening bottom cleanout gate as well as a hydraulic safety interlock system. This exclusive Swenson interlock provides a safe way to check the auger from ground level, without going through the dump box. This type of spreader and mounting allows for the maximum spreader height available on a one-ton dump body.
