The large product line of STRATOS de-mountable spreaders
The modular construction system of the STRATOS de-mountable spreaders in the large product line allows a variety of configurations to fit in individually with the different deployment needs and carrier vehicles.

The specialist for large surface areas
The construction series of large STRATOS machines is intended for mounting onto large carrier vehicles. With a spreading width of 3 to 12 metres, both gritting and de-icing materials can be spread. The typical deployment areas are large surfaces and long stretches such as on “A” and “B” roads and motorways. De-icing in large towns is also possible. The STRATOS large product line is available with hopper sizes between 3.5 m³ and 9.0 m³, with either the classical auger system or the reliable conveyor belt system.

Working efficiently
A high degree of dispensing precision – putting exactly the right amount of salt in exactly the right places – contributes to the efficiency and thereby environmental friendliness of the large product line in the STRATOS construction series. One of three control systems – CB, CX or CL – allows an exact adaptation to the given situation and the fine-tuned technology makes the STRATOS de-mountable spreaders suitable for deployment on most types of road and road surface. The driver can control all the functions, such as the spreading density, pattern and lateral distribution, directly from his cab. He can thus react directly to any change in the conditions on the road surface. Depending on the model chosen, it is even possible to plan routes in advance, including individual spreading patterns or aligning with the data from a centralised spreading control centre.

Full power
The STRATOS spreader can be powered by various systems. The simplest solution is the hydraulics on the vehicle which can be used directly. If there is no hydraulic system on the vehicle, Schmidt offers an innovative and efficient alternative with its “ROTOPOWER”, by which the rear axle rotation is taken directly off the hub and therefore utilised without loss of power. Another possibility is the classical wheel drive by which a separate wheel runs along the ground next to the spreading disc, thus providing the power. The large STRATOS models can also be driven by an auxiliary diesel engine.

High quality materials
With the STRATOS de-mountable spreaders, great importance is placed on the use of top-quality materials. The hopper is given a very durable finish in comparison with other methods, with an ultra-modern powder coating. The spreading disc and the entire delivery chute are made of stainless steel and the basic frame is completely galvanised, then, in addition, painted.
