Meyer Base Line tailgate spreaders offer contractors economical ice control. The BL400 is easy-to-use and perfect for small- to medium-sized jobs like walkways and long driveways.
Both the BL-240 and the BL-400 easily attach to any vehicle with a 2-inch receiver hitch and are especially appropriate for SUVs, light pick-up trucks, tractors and utility vehicles. An integrated motor guard protects the 1/8 h.p. electric motor and serves as a storage stand when the spreader is not in use.
The 1/8 h.p. direct drive motor applies the torque directly to the auger to grind through large chunks of material. The auger provides an even flow of material to the spinner for complete and steady material coverage. And to keep moisture out so material stays dry, both the Meyer BL-240 and BL-400 spreaders come with a lid with heavy-duty, easy-to-use locking straps.
The BL-240/400's direct-drive system links the 1/8 h.p. motor directly to the auger, creating up to 75% more auger power than non-direct drive set-ups. The motor provides superior clump-busting performance, and its marine-style electrical plug keeps the water out to ensure consistent electrical flow from the vehicle's battery.
The highly intuitive and reliable two-speed control (Low and High) is easy to use and delivers a precise spread-pattern of up to 25 feet.
The hoppers are made of rust-proof, high-density polyurethane…the hopper frames are powder coated with automotive style paint. And in the event you back into something, the motor is protected by an integrated motor guard made of tubular steel.
