Stoltz Delivers Highway Trailer Spreader to SC DOT
March 17, 2010
Stoltz Site Spreaders
of Morgantown, PA
and Carolina Trailer of Landrum, SC
put together the winning bid for a new cement spreader design specified by the
South Carolina Department of Transportation. It required a 15 ton
self-contained soil stabilization spreader on a highway-rated fifth wheel trailer. Special equipment included Stoltz’
proprietary digital spreader control console, a Deutz Turbo 73 HP air cooled engine with cab controls and EPA tier
4 Interim certification, a 12 ft wide spreading auger with transport cradle,
dual electric winch setup for auger installation in the field, and a 6 load
cell digital scale system.
“We are happy to customize our spreaders to fit our
customers needs”, said Stoltz president Bernard
Hershberger. “South Carolina DOT wanted a spreader that could
be towed by a truck, so we designed and built it for them in a very short time
frame.”
Site Spreaders can be used to spread cement, quicklime, fly
ash, kiln dust and similar materials. They are filled pneumatically from bulk material transport trucks. They use a patent pending slide gate to seal
the hopper during loading, while the proprietary “double reverse expanded flow”
air circulation system drops dust before air exits the hopper through a
specially designed filter. Level
spreading is accomplished by a patent pending adjustable spreading auger.
