What happens here

Frank highlights a new engineering feat: an extended auger or conveyor chain feature on Hilltip salt spreaders. This design allows the spreader to be positioned further forward on the truck's bed, preventing the common industry problem of overloading rear axles by having the spreader too far back. The host confirms that Hilltip spreaders are capable of spreading both brine and solid materials, with the ability to pre-mix and lay them down simultaneously. Hilltip models also feature self-adjustment based on vehicle speed, compensating to ensure consistent spread patterns. Furthermore, the spreader can be reprogrammed from an office, allowing for precise control of spreading rates and areas for specific parking lots, even in advance. This particular model is made in the United States and is ready to go.

Goal: Frank from Hilltip introduces their salt spreader featuring an extended auger or conveyor chain, which significantly improves weight distribution on the truck.

retracting it back in and storing it. Just like that. And then you actually have a flush mount system based on the same technology. Yes. Same cargo buckle technology. This is our flush mount. Um, this is really geared towards like your enclosed trailers where you're pulling vehicles in and out of the trailer. Um, it's as simple as pulling up this flap here, dropping this back down once you give it a little slack, just so it fits nice and tight in there, and then dropping it down like that. And then you can drive your vehicles or UTVs or whatever you're hauling into your enclosed trailer. And when you get it in there and you're ready to secure it, just open the flap. It presents itself. Put the handle in the upright position so you can reclose the flap and then you're good to go once you get your vehicle tied down in the trailer. And it's by cargo buckle. By cargo buckle. That's correct. Thank you, sir. imet.com. Thank you. Thank you. What was the website one more time? im met.com. IM ne.com. Thank you. All right, guys. You know that I have a Hill Tip. And Frank is actually one of the original pioneers of Hillip. Is that right? Yes, I am. And now you've got a brand new engineering feat specialty design. Tell me about it, Frank. Well, we have a extended augur or extended conveyor chain feature which allows you to get a better weight distribution on your truck. Yep. This is very common in the industry that people overload their rear axles by having the spreader too far back in the back. So, a typical guy that has a flatbed truck like we see right here, if they want to throw a salt salter on the back, they're going to basically be hiking this all the way to the back, distributing all their weight over the back back axis, throwing the the balance of their truck completely out of order. Exactly. So, now you have it designed so that you can move the salt spreader to the front where it's supposed to be. So it's the weight is evenly divided between the front and rear wheels and then you just extend it out. It's just it's just a small thing but it's brilliant. It's it's just small things and these are the things that we you know react on with the feedbacks that's coming from the industry and we we also have this feature on other spreader models as well and either you have augur or conveyor chain it doesn't matter. Now, of course, with the Hill Tip model, it is both a brine spreader and a solid spreader, and it will pre it'll premix and lay it down at the same time…
