MBX+ Spreader: Built for Big Demands, Engineered for Maximum Output
When Old Man Winter hits, municipal and commercial fleets need equipment that performs without compromise. The BOSS MBX+ Spreader is engineered for high-volume material output, long-term durability, and smart technology integration, making it one of the most advanced and easy-to-use stainless-steel spreaders in its class.
Designed for large-scale snow and ice management operations, MBX+ delivers scalable capacity, standard rate control, material and job tracking, and Cold Front Technology electrical system to help fleets reduce waste, improve efficiency, and maximize uptime.
What Is the MBX+ Spreader?
The MBX+ is a heavy-duty stainless-steel hopper spreader built for large ice control operations that require high material output and long service life. It features:
- Heavy-duty stainless-steel construction
- High-output pintle chain feed system
- Cold Front Technology electrical system
- Standard rate control & job tracking
- Optional AutoSpread Control
- Scalable 4, 5, and 6 yard hopper capacities
It is designed for trucks with 15,000+ GVWR and fits common flatbeds and dump bodies.
Built for Municipal-Grade Durability
Winter operations demand equipment that resists corrosion and constant use. The MBX+ features full stainless-steel construction, providing long-term durability in harsh environments where salt exposure is constant.
Key durability features include:
- Corrosion-resistant hopper
- Stainless steel material deflector
- Easy-access grease points
- Planetary 137:1 gearbox
- Designed for high-volume fleet use
This is not a light-duty spreader, it is engineered for long seasons of continuous service.
High-Output Performance: Over 400 lbs Per Minute
When storms intensify, output matters.
The MBX+ features a 14” wide pintle chain system paired with a high-efficiency drivetrain capable of delivering up to 425 lbs per minute of material flow. That means:
- Faster lot clearing
- Consistent application
- Reduced downtime
- Increased productivity per pass
The system is designed for reliable performance with sand, salt, or sand/salt mixtures.
Scalable Capacity: 4, 5, and 6 Yard Options
Operations grow, your equipment should too. The MBX+ is designed to scale.
It offers:
- 4-yard base hopper
- Optional 1-yard bolt-on extension (5 yards)
- Optional 2-yard bolt-on extension (6 yards)
This flexibility allows fleets to:
- Reduce reload frequency
- Increase coverage windows
- Match equipment to job size
- Expand operations without replacing the spreader
For growing municipalities or large commercial contractors, scalability is a major advantage.
Standard Smart Features: Control, Tracking, and Efficiency Built In
The MBX+ comes standard with integrated smart features, allowing operators to easily dial in application rates, monitor material usage, and support accurate job costing.
Standard Rate Control
Allows operators to set and adjust spread width and flow rate directly from the controller. This ensures consistent application, reduces over-salting, and helps control material costs.
Job Tracking (Up to 10 Sites)
Tracks material usage per job site for better billing accuracy, proof of service, and inventory planning. This improves accountability and helps fleets manage budgets more effectively.
Simplified Material Calibration
Ensures accuracy for different materials such as salt, sand, or blends. Providing consistent performance and reduced downtime when switching materials. Watch this video to learn how to calibrate your VBX+ spreader.
Operators can dial in application rates, monitor usage, and improve job costing directly from the controller.
Optional AutoSpread Control: Smart Speed-Based Application
For fleets looking to maximize precision and reduce waste, the MBX+ offers optional AutoSpread Control.
AutoSpread Control automatically maintains your set application rate as truck speed and spread width changes. When the truck:
- Speeds up → output increases
- Slows down → output decreases
- Stops → flow adjusts accordingly
This ensures consistent coverage and helps prevent over- and under-salting.
Benefits of AutoSpread Control:
- Reduced material waste
- Improved application consistency
- Better cost control
- Cleaner lots
- Simplified setup
AutoSpread gives fleets the ability to maintain accurate application rates per 1,000 square feet, acre, or lane mile, with the option to configure the system for metric units.
Designed for Easy Maintenance
Features include:
Flip-Up Spinner Assembly
- Quick access for maintenance
- Easy trailering
- Off-season storage flexibility
- Fast swapping between trucks
Additional Service-Friendly Features:
