Product Description
Buyers Products | SaltDogg TGS06 10 Cubic Foot Tailgate Mounted Salt Spreader | Gravity Feed with Manual Flow Gate, Included 80 lb Vibrator, 2-Inch Hitch & Stake Pocket Mount, Variable Speed In-Cab Controls, Perfect for Large Estates, Long Driveways, & Light Commercial Crossroads
Bring massive, high-volume ice control straight to your full-size truck without the bulk of a full bed-mounted hopper. The Buyers Products SaltDogg® TGS06 Tailgate Spreader packs an impressive 10 cubic foot capacity into a hitch-mounted frame, beautifully bridging the gap between small residential spreaders and massive commercial V-box systems. By pairing a simple, ultra-reliable gravity-feed layout with a factory-installed 80 lb vibrator, the TGS06 delivers dependable flow control over long private lanes, expansive agricultural estates, and neighborhood crossroads. Available at Riverside Trailers Caldwell, this unit allows you to clear massive residential property fields and light commercial crossover contracts efficiently while keeping your truck bed entirely open for backup gear.
Perfect for acreage owners, estate managers, local schools, and crossover residential contractors, this large-volume tailgate spreader is engineered for heavy full-size trucks capable of managing high tongue weights, including:
- 3/4-Ton Trucks (Ford F-250, Chevy Silverado 2500HD, RAM 2500, GMC Sierra 2500HD)
- 1-Ton Trucks (Ford F-350, Chevy Silverado 3500HD, RAM 3500, GMC Sierra 3500HD)
- Flatbeds & Fleet Utility Trucks equipped with a standard Class 4 receiver hitch
Massive 10 Cubic Foot Size & Rugged Poly Hopper
The SaltDogg TGS06 provides a large 10.0 cubic foot containment capacity, capable of holding up to 750 lbs of material per fill to significantly cut down your reload stops during major winter freezes. The hopper shell is rotomolded from a single piece of high-density, completely corrosion-proof black polyethylene that naturally defies sub-zero moisture and aggressive road chemicals. The entire assembly is anchored to a heavy-duty steel structural frame treated with a premium powder-coated finish, ensuring your investment retains its structural integrity and resale value for a lifetime of heavy use.
Dual Mounting Style: 2-Inch Hitch or Universal Stake Pockets
Avoid restrictive custom fabrication or permanent truck-bed modifications. The TGS06 is designed to mount cleanly straight out of the box via a standard 2-inch Class 4 receiver hitch mount. For added stability and unique fleet flexibility, the frame also includes an integrated universal stake pocket attachment system, letting you mount the spreader securely directly onto flatbeds or stake bodies to match your exact vehicle arrangement across the Treasure Valley.
A Crucial Note on Material Compatibility & Standard Vibrator
Just a quick heads-up regarding material selection: because the TGS06 uses a streamlined gravity-feed system rather than a mechanical internal auger, it relies completely on the natural flowability of your media. To guarantee a uniform flow down the poly hopper walls and prevent stubborn material clumping on cold Treasure Valley mornings, Buyers Products includes a powerful 80 lb capacity industrial vibrator factory-installed right into the throat of the unit:
Bagged #1 Free-Flowing Rock Salt & Premium Ice Melt: Coarse rock salt and processed ice-melt crystals are highly uniform and flow smoothly through the throat. Backed by the standard 80 lb vibrator, this material streams beautifully down onto the spinner for precision, clog-free residential melting.
Damp Bulk Salt, Wet Sand, & 50/50 Sand/Salt Blends: Raw sand or dense, damp 50/50 salt and sand combinations absorb frozen moisture rapidly and pack tightly under their own weight. Because there is no internal mechanical feed screw or auger to chew through chunks, dense bulk materials will bridge over the flow gate and stop the feed completely.
Simple Gravity Feed & Adjustable Manual Flow Gate
The mechanical simplicity of the TGS06 makes it incredibly reliable and easy to maintain. It relies on a classic gravity feed layout paired with an adjustable, manually operated open/close slide gate at the hopper throat. This manual gate acts as a dependable mechanical throttle, allowing you to manually preset your precise flow rate before starting a pass, and slam it shut during transit to completely eliminate material spillage or waste on open roads like I-84.
Variable Speed In-Cab Controls & 30-Foot Spreading Range
Take complete command of icy conditions safely from inside your heated truck cab. The TGS06 is equipped with a quiet 12V DC electric motor system that wires directly to your main battery and features an intuitive hardwired variable-speed in-cab controller. Effortlessly scale the velocity of your 9-inch polyurethane spinner disc on the fly to match your surroundings. Cast a tight 3-foot strip down narrow estate sidewalks, or crank it up to an expansive 30-foot radius to blank out sprawling subdivision parking fields, large driveways, and long farm approaches in a single forward run.
