Torwel Limited snow and ice management division announced improvements to its Economizer gas-over-hydraulic pickup truck spreaders. Performance advancements target more efficient, reliable snow and ice control in 1.3, 1.7, 2.5, and 3.0 cubic yard models.

Made in the USA, Torwel's improved Economizer gas-over-hydraulic V-box spreaders are lightweight and feature stainless steel or painted 14-gauge steel construction. Economizer gas-over-hydraulic spreaders feature a quiet, durable 5.5 hp Honda gas engine with electric start. Operators can easily control the flow of material with an in-the-cab control panel that features electric start, choke, throttle, and conveyor controls and adjustable material deflectors. An optional 12-inch chute extension is also available.

The Economizer gas-over-hydraulic pickup spreader has a quiet hydraulic drive that provides smooth fluid power, built-in overload protection, and self-adjusting conveyor tensioner that aids in performance and chain life. 

Each unit includes everything needed for easy installation including heavy-duty woven top screen top, 12V battery and box, tie-down straps and wood runners. Options include 304 stainless steel, 12” chute extension, replacement spinner disks, headboard (cab shield), and inverted “V” design (conveyor bridge).
