Dongfeng Tianjin 4x2 8 m³ Snow Salt Spreader Truck

This Dongfeng Tianjin winter maintenance truck spreads salt, sand or de-icing grit from an 8 m³ hopper and clears fresh snow with a front rotary brush. It is aimed at highway operators, city road departments and airports that need one vehicle to treat and clear lanes during winter storms.

A Cummins 230 hp Euro 6 diesel drives the 4x2 chassis through a manual gearbox, and a chassis PTO powers the hydraulic spreader at 16 MPa or more. A scraper chain conveyor feeds material from the Q235 steel hopper (6,000 × 2,500 × 550 mm) to a 550 mm stainless-steel disc that resists salt corrosion. Spread width adjusts from 2 to 14 m and the application rate from 20 to 300 g/m², all controlled by wire from the cab. The chassis has a 250 mm double-layer frame, Dana axles, ABS, an exhaust brake and 10.00R20 steel-belted tires.

The truck works at 5–45 km/h while spreading and carries a 9,000 kg payload within an 18,000 kg gross vehicle weight. An arrow warning light, tarpaulin cover, filter screen and rear access ladder are standard, and wheelbases of 4,500 or 4,700 mm are available. A front snow blade can be fitted instead of the brush to suit snowfall and road surface.
