August 24, 2001

Akron, OH - Imperial Electric announces its new MAGNUM(TM) Salt Spreaders. These heavy-duty spreaders are ideal for light to medium-duty snow and ice removal operations.

In addition to standard fixed, hinged and receiver mount configurations, Magnum spreaders offer five additional mounting methods including the Dual Port System produced by Reese and Draw-Tite. This selection permits mounting on a wide range of vehicles, even small utility vehicles and tractors.

All three models are available with either 304 stainless steel or roto cast polyethylene hoppers. Hopper capacities range from 5.75 cubic feet holding up to 350 pounds to 10.75 cubic feet holding up to 750 pounds.

Standard equipment on all models includes high-current capacity wiring harnesses and variable speed controllers with off/on, burst positions to control spread widths from minimal up to 40 feet. Indicator lights tell the operator when contents have been depleted or there is stoppage at the impeller. Top covers for all models match hopper construction material.

Other features of the Magnum salt spreaders include a 6.5" corrosion-resistant Imperial DC motor, delivering 1/2 HP, providing power to keep augers working under the most severe weather conditions. All models come with a 2-year warranty.

Imperial Electric is an operating unit of Kinetek, which is owned by Jordan Industries. The company is a leading producer of 42, 56, 66 and 180-frame AC/DC permanent magnet motors and gearbox assemblies. Applications include floor care products, elevators, escalators, power reels, forklifts, hydraulic pumps, power steering units and other types of lift equipment including wire rope hoists.
