BOSS Spreader Equipment:
Which BOSS Granular Ice Control Equipment is Right for You?
When choosing a salt spreader, it’s important to consider several key factors: recommended vehicle options, job size, and material needs. Utilize the BOSS Product Selector by entering your vehicle details to receive manufacturer-recommended product suggestions, including spreaders. For smaller jobs, contractors often opt for tailgate spreaders, ideal for efficiency compared to larger hopper spreaders like the VBX+, which fits snuggly in a truck bed. Ensure you match your material requirements by consulting the BOSS Spreader Material Guide to select the appropriate spreader for your specific material dispensing needs.
Packed with a range of upgraded design enhancements and new capabilities from the previous VBX line, the VBX+ comes standard with a variety of smart features, including:
-

The VBX+ offers upgraded LED lights, enhanced motor performance, easier maintenance, increased power, sleek LED lighting, advanced safety features like multiple-setting beacon lights, and options for auger or pintle chains.
Available in limited quantities for the '24-'25 season, the VBX also fits in the back of a truck bed and spreads various types of material. It includes a digital controller, stainless steel motor, strong poly hopper, remote light switch, urethane spinner, and options for auger or pintle chain.
BOSS Tailgate Spreaders come in various sizes to suit your vehicle needs. They are easy to attach and disperse de-icing materials quickly and efficiently. They feature solid poly hoppers, variable speed control, and adjustable deflectors.
The BOSS Exact Path drop spreaders are designed for precise deicing in areas with constant foot traffic and obstacles. They are suitable for UTVs, tractors, and compact vehicles.
Utilizing a skid-steer, the QuickCube significantly reduces upfront investment and depreciation costs compared to trucks. Its ability to stack QuickCubes of additional deicing product at job sites minimizes fuel expenses and enhances response times, allowing employees to hook up to additional spreaders directly from contract sites.
