Q1
What is the difference between the SS4000 and SS6000 chip spreaders?
The SS6000 features an infinite telescopic front spreading hopper for flexible spreading width, a full-hydraulic walking system with infinitely adjustable speed, and a sliding pedestal for improved operator visibility — making it more versatile for variable road conditions compared to the SS4000.
Q2
What types of aggregates can these chip spreaders handle?
The SS4000 and SS6000 self-propelled chip spreaders support a wide range of spreading quantities, making them suitable for a variety of aggregate types used in road construction and surface treatment applications.
Q3
How does the automatic feeding control system work?
The feeding conveyor and spreading auger are controlled by a level controller, which automatically regulates the operation of both components to ensure consistent and even material distribution without constant manual adjustment.
Q4
How is the chip spreader connected to the dumper truck?
A self-locking tow hook is used to connect or disconnect the spreader from the dumper truck quickly and easily. The hook height is adjustable to match different towing rod positions on various dumper models.
Q5
What are the maintenance advantages of the SS3000C and SS3500A models?
The SS3000C and SS3500A use a walking mechanism sourced from heavy-duty trucks, which ensures high reliability and makes routine maintenance straightforward, as parts and service expertise are widely available.
Q6
Is the spreading width adjustable on these chip spreaders?
Yes. The SS6000 is equipped with an infinite telescopic front spreading hopper that allows the operator to flexibly adjust the spreading width during operation, accommodating varying road widths and construction requirements.
