ACE Torwel, Inc.'s snow and ice management announced the new Economizer MINI pickup truck and utility vehicle spreaders.

Performance advancements target more efficient, reliable snow and ice control in 1/3 cubic yard models, according to the manufacturer. The spreader is designed for small, narrow spaces, such as sidewalks. It spreads sand, salt, seed, lime fertilizer, and other coarse materials.

Made in the USA, ACE Torwel's Rugged Economizer MINI V-box spreaders are lightweight, made of 50/52 series aluminum (hopper), and 304 stainless steel (frame) construction. 

Economizer MINI spreaders feature a quiet, durable 5.5 hp Honda gas engine with built-in overload protection. According to the manufacturer, operators can easily control the flow of material with an in-the-cab control panel that features, on/off motor switch and on/off conveyor switch, and a 35 foot cable for installation is included. 

A sealed rubber delivery system with belt over pintle chain supports material flow. All aluminum material deflectors with adjustable spreading width from 4- to 24-foot cover small and large areas.  Each unit includes everything needed for easy installation including tie-down kit, straps and wood runners.  Upgrades include chute extension for pickup truck models, and steel woven top screen.
