Snow longer a problem
April 1st 2009

A Broadwood-supplied SnowEx V-Maxx SP-8500 spreader mounted on a SnowEx trailer and towed behind a Ford Ranger pick-up is keeping the roads and carparks clear or ice and snow at Longannet Power Station in Scotland.

"Since we purchased the SnowEx we haven't had to contact our external contractor at all, and when the temperature drops to 1°C we simply hitch up the SnowEx trailer and, with minimal training, any of our operatives can carry out full grit spreading duties," says Gordon Haylott, Ash Plant Co-Ordinator for facilities management firm, Norec.

"This is more convenient and represents a substantial saving in labour costs." Built in the USA, and proven in extreme conditions on the other side of the Atlantic, the SnowEx V-Maxx SP-8500 is a 1600 litre capacity spreader powered by a direct-drive 12v motor and enables full control of spread width and rate from the in-cab controller.
