Marauder™ Compact
Stainless Steel Hopper Spreaders
- Capacity: 0.35 and 0.7 cu yd
- Materials: Salt and Sand
- Spread Pattern: Broadcast
Choose Your Performance
Based on the material your operation most commonly uses for de-icing, the Western® Marauder line offers the best delivery system for you. The S070A and S070C are suited for half-ton and light-duty pickup trucks and the S035A and S035C are purpose-built for mid-duty UTVs and compact trucks.
The hopper is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and constructed entirely of rivets and bolts, with no welding. This provides a cleaner stainless look and is easier to repair for long-life and protection against stress.
Baffles within the chute deliver a consistent spread pattern that reduces material waste. By directing material to precise points on the spinner, it helps to cast it away from the truck rather than onto the back of your bumper. A direct drive motor offers better torque and reduces servicing.

Right Tool for the Job
It’s your job to make sure the world keeps moving … and to do that, you need ice control equipment you can rely on. The all-new Marauder stainless-steel hopper lineup is engineered to get the job done right.
Choose the best material delivery system for your operation based on the de-icer you commonly use … either the all-new Helixx™ shaftless auger for precise rock salt application or the pintle chain conveyor that’s perfect for thick, heavy de-icing materials. Whatever choice you make, you’ll get the delivery performance you demand.
A material delivery extension reduces leaking/spilling during transport. This provides a more cab forward design, allowing for added stability and weight distribution of the hopper.
When equipped with the optional pre-wet accessory, it leads into the patented pre-wet mixing chamber.

Resist the corrosive environment of de-icing with polyethylene construction. Lightweight, yet highly durable, these hoppers are built to last. The molded polyethylene tub geometry is optimized for better material flow. This allows for a smoother, even flow that prevents materials from getting stuck.
Special design allows the hopper to stand on end for easier storage in the off-season and easier installation into the truck bed. Simply remove the two pins, unplug it, and take off the chute before standing up the hopper.

Stainless Steel Tailgate Spreaders

Place Salt Exactly Where It’s Needed
When precision is needed with salt placement, the new line of stainless-steel drop spreaders from Western Products is the answer. The Drop 250 and Drop 600 spreaders provide up to 36″ of spread width in a drop pattern so the salt stays exactly where your vehicle drives.
With three mounting systems, these units can fit on most UTVs, compact tractors, or wheel loaders to make quick work of sidewalks, walking paths, and other paved surfaces where truck equipment can’t easily gain access.
The material delivery system has finger-like appendages that agitate the surrounding material with every revolution. This ensures a consistent amount of material flows into the spreader trough and, at the same time, keeps it from bridging.
The entire trough drops open for easy and fast material clean-out when the job is done. This allows you to store any leftover de-icing material in a dry, weather-resistant container until you need it for the next job.
