What happens here

Frank Maenpaa from Hilltip introduces their innovative salt spreader, emphasizing its unique features designed for durability and efficiency. He explains that the spreader is constructed from stainless steel, making it acid-resistant, and boasts a modular hopper design capable of carrying up to 300-400 gallons of liquid. A key feature is its ability to spread both salt and brine simultaneously. The system also includes GPS tracking and real-time spreading rate recommendations based on weather forecasts, road temperature, and material type, effectively automating the spreading process. This HTRACK™ Real-time spreading rate recommendations system eliminates the need for manual calculations by operators.

Goal: Explain the advanced features of the Hilltip salt spreader for efficient and precise de-icing.

all right guys Hil tip this is Frank you you basically designed develop this this system right yes we did where at what country we are based in Finland in Finland okay and you designed a salt spreader to do something no other salt spreader can do yes we really started from scratch we're a distributor back in the days and we really we're looking for something different and first of all a comi unit that has stainless steel that dipin acid and we have all the bearings and stainless steel and on top of that a modular Hopper design that also has the baffles in in the hopper as it scries liquids up to 3 400 gallon of liquid in the hopper so the the the sides itself of this now I own a hill tip the sides itself is the actual brine solution where it carries and then the center of the unit is where this rock salt can be carried so you can do both simultane correctly and now this will actually the unit itself will adjust the rate of application to the speed but it will also GPS track how much material you laid out okay so and you've developed that software even further to be even more accurate yeah we I mean it's all the time listening to the industry what do they want and today what's the challenge there are operators that doesn't have knowledge many times what they should put down so that's why we developed a feature as well that give application recommendation directly on the Fly based on the vther data based on the forecast based on the road temperature Etc so they don't really need to think anymore they just need to drive this is beautiful your machine will now calculate the ground temperature the weather systems as they're coming in and give you recommendations on how much material to put down depending on the temperature corre and weather correct real time correct and this is really a game changer in the industry no one else offers this and this is also what's been blow blowing up the European market for us that everybody loves it and this is the way to go forward because we want to save on salt we want to be efficient and where can you save the money today is about labor material truck fuel Etc the initial investment is not the key where would guys find out more information Frank Hep na.com for North America okay and Hil tipc for European
