Features
User-friendly operation with the POLARO® M/L/XL control panel
As well as infinitely adjusting the speed of the spreading disc to set the working width, you can also control all other functions centrally via the control panel, such as: Altering the screw speed to control the discharge rate, and boost function for briefly discharging larger quantities of spreading material when necessary (ice formation) Three memory keys (P1–3) for individual settings Automatic breakaway for screw conveyor Empty warning, residue emptying, service prompts, etc.
The materials are also streets ahead
All materials are designed for the particular challenges of winter work. So not only are all metal parts of non-rusting stainless steel as standard, but all cables and the individual gear motors are resistant to the ingress of dust and water (IP67). The hopper is made of temperature-resistant polyurethane that is completely impermeable to air and water, damps vibrations, and resists embrittlement.
Adjustable Spreading Pattern
The spreading disc can be manually positioned slightly more to the left or right, using two set screws. This way, material can be dispensed directly onto the neighbouring pavement or cycle path, for example, in parallel with gritting the road.
Height Adjustable Spinner Disc
To achieve the desired results regardless of carrier vehicle, the discharge height of the spreading disc (recommended: 0.40 – 0.80 m from the road surface) can be adjusted in the blink of an eye to suit different types of vehicle.
Vibrator with automatic start-up
The screw conveyor transports the material from the hopper to the spreader. If the flow is blocked, the vibrator – provided as standard – starts up automatically, breaking up the material in the hopper when necessary, so that it can continue to flow.

Product Applications
Efficient Spreading of Sand, Salt, and Grit
Maintaining safe and accessible surfaces during icy or hazardous conditions is crucial. Spreader is the ideal tool for efficiently spreading sand, salt, or grit over large areas, ensuring pathways, parking lots, and roadways remain safe for both pedestrians and vehicles. Spreader significantly reduce the time and effort compared to manual spreading, allowing you to cover more ground with consistent results.
