2023 GVM Hydraulic-Driven Systems Horizontal Leg Tanks

Hydraulic-driven systems are designed to dispense liquid pre-wet materials onto granular de-icing materials and abrasives with a hydraulic driven pump. The hydraulic driven pump is coupled in series to the dry material spreader auger providing a consistent ration or liquid-to-dry material. These systems will operate in conjunction with ground speed or manual spreader controls providing a linear chemical flow at vehicle speeds ranging from 3-50 mph. They will operate in auger reverse without any back pressure on the spreader system components. All liquid handling components are resistant to the effects of standard de-icing liquids.

Electric driven systems utilize an electric variable speed driven pump designed to apply liquid de-icers to granular material being dispensed from a tailgate-mounted spreader. The flow rate is manually adjustable by the operator from the in-cab controls.

Norwesco, Inc. is the leading North American manufacturer of select rotationally molded polyethylene tanks. Norwesco was founded in 1939 in St. Paul, Minnesota with the name of Northwest Plastics, Inc. The name was changed around 1973, and was then was ranked as one of the oldest and largest plastic processors in the United States.

Norwesco maintains the highest levels of product quality and customer service. Their objective is to continue to provide these valued traits to the customer to maintain a position as the industry leader in the polyethylene tank market.

Horizontal leg tanks are used primarily for anti-icing applications within the snow industry, Norwesco’s leg tanks feature molded-in legs that act as “baffles” to help to reduce sloshing.
