The World's most ADVANCED salt spreader 4K

What happens here

The discussion moves to the advanced features beyond just material application. The Hilltip Ice Striker comes with a 'Strike Smart Controller' which offers an automatic mode. In this mode, the spreader automatically starts and stops when the vehicle does, removing the need for the operator to manually control it. This controller can also tell the operator how far material is being thrown and how much material is being applied. Additionally, it can control auxiliary functions like lights and strobes, and features an auto-vibrate function to keep material flowing smoothly.

Goal: Explain the capabilities of the Strike Smart Controller and its automated functions.

thing of why this machine is different than anything you see in North America basically how it's built the second thing uh that this comes with is our strik smart controller which features automatic mode ground speed control starts and stops when you start and stop or you can go automatic mode but this machine will tell you how much you're how far you're throwing your material how much you're putting down you can control your lights your strobes you can put Auto vibrate on this to take that off the operator's plate okay okay you you're talking about okay so let's talk about this when you say it'll it'll lay down a prescribed amount of material no matter what speed you're going it'll geofence the lot correct so with this machine if we are just without H trck without Geo fencing a lot we can get onto the controller put a preferred application rate in and and a preferred um spin width for the material put it in automatic mode so when we when the vehicle starts then the machine starts when you stop it will stop and so the operator doesn't have to touch any of that if you want to take it a step further in HRA which is our online portal where all of the data being recorded by this machine is sent for you to report on later in that portal you can geofence your work sites assign a prescribed application rate to it so when the operator gets here two things will happen on the controller they'll get a message are you at the location they hit confirm and start or they simply just pull onto the lot and the machine turns on to what the application rate is for the site and so the operator has not does not have to touch the controller at all okay and it actually gets better but wait there's more wait there's more but wait there's more
