Salt-spreader with Snow-plow utilities for Container Truck
At Winter times, regular trucks often support the local authorities in cleaning the roads by snow or ice conditions. These trucks are equipped at the front side with a Snow-plow and at the rear side with a Salt-spreader.
Both utilities are designed as an add-on for the Container Truck model.
The Snow-plow can be mounted at the front side instead of the 'black bull bar'. The truck's front-PTO (power-take-off) is used to raise or lower the blade. The blade itself can turned to the left or right side manually.
The Salt-spreader is loaded on the Truck the same way as a container, by using the cable-system. When loaded, the truck's rear-PTO drives a conveyor chain-belt within the salt-reservoir that moves the salt (1x1 round tiles) towards the spreader-unit. Avoiding salt being spread continuously, a door at the rear side can be closed. The spreader disc itself is belt-driven and powered as well from the rear-PTO as well. At the front side of the salt-reservoir another door is available, only used in occasional conveyor chain-belt jams. In the spreader unit, the salt is pre-wetted with water to make sure the salt 'sticks' on the road; otherwise in windy weather conditions the salt might be blown away. As such, water-tanks are installed and both sides of the Salt-spreader.
A beer and mini-figure act as guardians on top of both rear legs of the Salt-spreader, just as a gimmick.
