For contractors looking to improve material management, reduce unnecessary downtime, and get more from their equipment, the VBX+ combines control, durability, and ease of use in one spreader platform.
The BOSS VBX+ is a granular de-icing material spreader built for professional snow and ice management. It is available in 1.5-, 2-, and 3-cubic-yard configurations with auger or pintle conveyor options.
The VBX+ builds on the original VBX platform with upgraded power, smart material-management capabilities, improved serviceability, enhanced lighting, and operator-focused controls.
| Feature | What It Does | Contractor Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Smart rate control | Controls spread width and material flow | Helps operators apply material more consistently |
| Job tracking | Tracks material usage by job site | Supports billing, proof of service, and material planning |
| Increased feeder power | Provides 50% more feeder power | Helps maintain material flow in demanding conditions |
| Increased spinner power | Provides 80% more spinner power | Supports consistent material distribution |
| Improved maintenance features | Includes greaseless bearings, easier motor access, and a spring-loaded chain tensioner | Simplifies routine service and reduces adjustment needs |
| Enhanced lighting | Includes upgraded LED work and strobe lighting | Improves visibility around the vehicle and job site |
| Improved controls | Includes Carling switches and a new emergency-stop button | Provides a more straightforward operator experience |
One of the biggest changes to the VBX+ is the increased focus on material control and tracking.
Standard rate control allows operators to adjust spread width and material flow to better control how much material is being applied. Job tracking also allows material usage to be monitored by individual job sites.
Understanding how much material is used at each job
Supporting customer billing and proof of service
Planning future material needs
Identifying opportunities to improve material efficiency
Better material control isn't just about spreading salt. It gives contractors more information about how their equipment and material are being used throughout a route.
The VBX+ delivers 50% more feeder power and 80% more spinner power compared with the previous VBX. That additional power is designed to support reliable material movement and distribution, particularly when conditions are demanding.
The VBX+ also features upgraded LED CHMSL work lights and selectable LED strobe lights, helping improve visibility and awareness during winter operations.
A spreader needs to be ready when the storm hits. The VBX+ incorporates several design changes intended to simplify maintenance and reduce the time spent servicing the machine.
Definition
Spreader serviceability: The ease with which a spreader can be inspected, maintained, adjusted, and repaired. Features that improve serviceability can help operators spend less time on routine maintenance and more time completing work.
An auger poly bearing that eliminates the need for greasing
A redesigned strike plate with wiper to help reduce material leakage and truck-bed mess
A spring-loaded chain tensioner that reduces the need for manual adjustments
An easy-access hatch for motor service
Remote grease zerks for easier access to applicable grease points
The VBX+ isn't only about what's happening inside the hopper. Several updates focus on making the equipment easier to operate day after day.
The improved spinner chute and disk are designed for smoother spreading and improved material flow. Carling switches and a new emergency-stop button provide updated controls, while improved access to service points makes routine maintenance easier.
The original VBX established a dependable platform for granular material application. The VBX+ builds on that foundation with additional power, smarter material management, improved serviceability, and an enhanced operator experience.
