FC 550-1100

The Ficon FC 550, 750, 850 and 1100 are electric polyethylene spreaders, built for light pickups and trucks in the European market. The lightweight polyethylene hopper and fitted stainless steel parts give lasting protection against corrosion and rust. The spreader has integrated tanks for the optional liquid systems.

Salting, sand gritting and salt solution application are all done with the same machine. The spreader can easily be converted into a salt solution spreader by fitting a spray bar, or into a combination spreader by pre-wetting with salt solution. The integrated tanks in the double-walled hopper hold 330 litres of liquid on the FC 550 and FC 750 and 450 litres on the FC 850 and FC 1100, giving longer operating times. An extra liquid container in the hopper is available as optional equipment.

As standard, the spreader is supplied with the HTrack tracking system and a controller with automatic GPS speed control that adjusts the amount of gritting material (g/m²) to the speed. A 12-volt motor sits in a sealed, weatherproof housing, and an automatic vibrator prevents bridging by shaking the inverted V-shape. A fold-up stainless steel chute, two-part tarp mechanism and top screen are also standard. The hopper has a moulded area for an extra number plate and built-in tie-down loops for lashing to the vehicle.
