Designed for ice cold reliability, the FISHER® Low Profile tailgate spreaders provide a clear view from the cab when backing up. Perfect for spreading #1 rock salt, calcium chloride and other de-icing materials, these single-stage tailgate spreaders provide visibly better performance in an operator-friendly package.
Cover
A latching, molded poly lid protects material from the elements.
Motor
A fully enclosed 1/3 HP, 12-volt electric motor is mounted inside a sealed housing, protecting it from corrosion.
Controls
Choose between a variable speed control with an "on/off" button and blast option to optimize material usage or a basic "on/off" toggle control (controls are sold separately).
Corrosion-Resistant Hopper
The Low Profile tailgate spreaders feature corrosion-free poly hoppers for long-lasting performance season after season.

Material Delivery
Material is delivered by a vertical steel auger. The unique design helps break up clumps and prevents material from spilling.
Spinner
Models 500 and 1000 both feature a durable 10" polyurethane spinner that delivers a spread pattern of up to 30'.
Model 2500 comes standard with a large, 15" polyurethane spinner that delivers a spread pattern of up to 30'.
Adjustable Feed Gate
On the Model 2500 spreader, a specialized "saw tooth" feed gate and auger design combine to deliver complete, reliable flow control with positive shut-off, eliminating spillage and waste.
Mounting Options
The Model 500 tailgate spreader comes standard with a Class III receiver hitch mount.

Ratchet straps are provided standard for additional spreader stability on the Model 500 and 2500 spreaders only.
