What happens here

Install the VSI brine spreader unit into the truck bed. This unit is designed for easy loading and unloading using a forklift or skid steer, thanks to its integrated fork pockets. Once positioned, connect the unit's electrical system. The VSI spreader is equipped with two 7 GPM (gallons per minute) pumps, providing a combined flow of 14 GPM. Connect the unit's power and ground cables to the truck's electrical system. Ensure the integrated 50-foot hose reel is properly mounted and connected for efficient liquid distribution in hard-to-reach areas. Finally, attach the 84-inch spreader bar, featuring pile-driver nozzles, to the rear of the truck for wide-area brine application. This spreader bar can also be configured with a separate fan bar for pre-treating surfaces before a storm.

Goal: Integrate the VSI brine spreader system with the truck.

right, when we come to the back of the truck, I want to introduce you guys to Keith. Hey, guys. Party up front, business in back, right? This is the ultimate mullet giveaway. Um but this brine sprayer really is the simplest, easiest way for a guy to get into brining that may have never done this before. >> Absolutely correct. So, let's take a look at this unit. This is similar to the unit that we operate, but even simpler. Yes. And it's capacity. So, we open it up, we've got the hose can extend right over the Lift that up and down for me one more time. So, you can have your gate up, or you can have your gate down. Yep. Okay, so as we plop our gate down, Heath, Yeah. we can just fork this in and out right there and there. >> Okay. >> Yep. So, you just use the fork pockets there. Basically, you got your pumps that are right inside of here. Okay. >> So, you have two 7-gallon per minute pumps that are in here, giving you 14 gallons per minute that will pump out there. Once you have this set in, these two connections here, this connection here is for your power ground. This connection here is for your controller. So, for you guys that are familiar with our VSI and our brine operation, we have the gas-powered version of this. And this is just like our gas version, but a lot simpler. Let's break this down for you. We've eliminated that. >> Absolutely correct. Yeah, it's made it You don't have to worry about maintaining the engine. Uh you don't have to worry about maintaining all the different valves and everything else that's out there. >> Alex, come check this out compared to ours. Look at this thing. It's got two plugs. There's no gas motor, two plugs here and here, and the truck powers the unit. Wow. That's pretty slick. And it's still got the integrated hose reel on it. >> Yep, still has your 50-ft hose reel on top. So, when you need to do those sidewalks, walk areas, entryways, you just get the hose reel out there and de-ice that as well. So, you can pull this out, so you do sidewalk jobs with it. And what do you just have this So, you have it wired right into the truck. Before we look at the controller, let's look at the spray bar. Walk me through this. Still got the gate up, so you can get a better view of it. So, now this is going to be an 84-in single lane boom with all the pile drive nozzles underneath, giving that spray, covering the area there. So, you have that, and then you also can reconnect this up to the…
