Towed spreaders

The Falköping LB-1000 is a towed sand spreader for trucks, with a 1.0 m³ hopper. The spreader feeds out the material via an eccentric system with few moving parts – there are no chains or gears. It spreads sand, fine gravel, salt and calcium chloride right out to the edge of the road, and just as well when reversing. The discharge table can be tilted to direct the spread pattern towards the centre of the road, and the discharge system handles stones up to 50 mm without damage to the hopper.

The series consists of the LB-1000, LB-1000B, LB-1000S and the low-profile version LB-1000 LÅG, adapted to body widths of 2.5–2.6 m and with a spreading width of 2.4–2.7 m. The weight is 515–535 kg depending on the model. The spread rate is 80–400 g/m² for sand and 5–30 g/m² for salt, the maximum spreading speed is 40 km/h and the transport speed 70 km/h. The wheels are 6.00x9, 12 ply, High speed. The spreader has support wheels that make it easy to handle when uncoupled, and is supplied with a VBG, Nato or Rockinge hitch.

The standard version has manual engagement and disengagement. Optional equipment includes engagement and disengagement from the cab (electric, hydraulic or air), a shaftless agitator for better flow, an electrically heated discharge table to prevent freezing, Steel-belt tyres, a cover, a hopper extension, hydraulic lifting cylinders and remote-controlled rate control. The structure is protected against corrosion with zinc metallising, primer and 2-component topcoat. The LB-1000 LÅG has the same eccentric system and the same equipment options as the standard model.
