What happens here

The presenter introduces the Hilltip IceStriker salt spreader, highlighting its 304 stainless steel construction, 6-inch 3-pitch stainless steel auger, 20-inch stainless steel disc, and 400-pound vibrator. These features collectively contribute to durability, efficiency, and lighter weight compared to competitors, which typically use smaller augers and vibrators. The spreader also includes an end-of-material alarm with a laser sensor and an auto-vibrate cycle. It offers asymmetry adjustment from the cab, allowing precise control over the spreading pattern. A unique extended chute option allows for better weight distribution by pushing the hopper closer to the truck's cab. It is pre-wet capable, with a 220-gallon liquid capacity, and can be used with a bladder for pure liquid spraying, extending its utility beyond winter to tasks like pest control or dust suppression, leveraging its 12-month usability. A manual nut is available for breaking up compacted material in case the vibrator is insufficient.

Nobody in the industry has that. And that's not the only thing that you guys have that nobody else in the industry has. Correct. Tell me about >> Big Now, this is something you don't see every single day. It's a Good morning, one and all. I'm at Hilltip's North American headquarters in Indiana, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Now, Hilltip is primarily located actually in Europe, and they are the number one salt, snow, and ice control company in all of Europe. And when I say all of Europe, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, France, everywhere in Europe, these guys are the absolute leader, and they're breaking into North America. And today, you guys, we're going to get an exclusive tour of everything new that Hilltip is bringing to North America. So, if you want to see the latest and greatest technology that's already been endorsed, adopted, and used by the Europeans that we North Americans, or we Americans, let's just call us what we are, have not yet seen, well, welcome to the right place because I'm going to bring you everything that Hilltip is going to be launching inside of the United States. You guys, this is going to be a fun one today. Let's go. So, although they dominate in Europe and they're manufactured in Finland, they've opened a new corporate headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and they're actually now manufactured in the United States. And this first snow plow that we're going to be seeing, there's only ever been one other company that builds anything like this, and they're out of Canada, and good luck trying to get one of those. They're not easy to come by, but now with this new innovation, these things are going to be readily available, and yes, I'm absolutely going to get one for myself. Let's check it
