    For high-capacity spreading applications, SuperMaxx has a hopper full of capability

    SnowEx has introduced its highest-capacity line of spreaders, the SuperMaxx series

    SnowEx has introduced its highest-capacity line of spreaders, the SuperMaxx series. Intended for large contractors and municipalities, the spreaders are loaded with new features for enhanced performance and easy pre-wetting integration.

    The SuperMaxx series includes the 9300X, 9500X, and 9800X, available with 3.3-, 4.3-, and 6.0-cubic-yard capacities, respectively. The spreaders feature a cab-forward design with up to 33% better payload distribution.

    Exclusive to the SuperMaxx, the spreaders include a patented wet/dry mixing chamber. Within the chamber, the auger feed system mixes brine with spreading material before delivering it to the spinner. This maximizes the effectiveness of pre-wetting applications by ensuring a precise, even coating of brine.

    Hoppers are made from corrosion-resistant polyethylene and include a multi-angle design to promote a continuous flow of material to the auger feed system. An inverted “V” baffle and attached vibrator reduce clumping and allow the units to spread all bulk materials, including 100% salt, 100% sand, and any combination in between.

    Spreaders are completely electric-powered with a 12-volt, ¾-horsepower auger motor and 1.6-horsepower spinner motor. To ensure durability and ease of maintenance, the motors and transmission are sealed within weather-resistant enclosures. The control panel is also protected in a weather-resistant enclosure with a clear inspection cover.

    The SuperMaxx series is controlled by a pendant-style controller with a digital readout and dials for independently adjusting the variable-speed spinner and auger. It comes with blast and pulse features, as well as auto-reverse and overload protection. If the truck is equipped with a pre-wetting system, the controller can toggle it on and off.

    A new low-profile spinner design with stainless-steel deflector helps the SuperMaxx accurately spread material up to 40 feet wide. The 12-inch stainless-steel spinner contains adjustable cups, allowing the operator to fine-tune the spread pattern. When not in use, the modular spinner assembly can be flipped into the upright position, providing full access to the vehicle's hitch.

    Other standard features include a fitted tarp, top screen, LED safety strobe lights, non-combustible wiring, and vertically oriented ratchet straps. Spreaders are covered by a two-year parts and labor warranty.
