Shop SaltDogg spreaders by type
Tailgate and walk behind spreaders
The TGS tailgate spreaders hang on a 2 inch receiver or the tailgate of a pickup and meter bagged salt through a spinner; the TGS06 uses a 1/8 HP 100 RPM 12 volt spinner motor. The under tailgate spreaders for dump bodies are in pneumatics.
Electric poly hopper spreaders
The SHPE, PRO and PRO-M MultiPlex hopper spreaders sit in a pickup or dump bed and run on 12 volts with a variable speed controller in the cab. Each is offered with an auger for bagged and dry bulk salt or a pintle chain conveyor for wetter sand and salt mixes.
Municipal and hydraulic spreaders
The conveyor chain and auger spreaders from 2.5 cubic yards up are steel or stainless hopper units for dump trucks, listed in gas, electric and hydraulic drive. The municipal hydraulic and electric spreaders and the MDS CH and MDS dual auger combination dump spreaders are the fleet units; the hydraulic versions also appear in Buyers hydraulics.
SaltDogg spreader parts
Replacement .5 HP spinner motors for the 9035100, 1400701SS and related spreaders, 17.9 CIR hydraulic auger motors, extended chute spinner gear motors for SHPE units, wire mesh top screens for the SHPE4000, drive wheels for the WB400 and the 3500 pound dump body vibrator are all listed by the spreader they fit.

Common applications
Landscaping and snow contractors run TGS tailgate spreaders on half ton and three quarter ton pickups and step up to SHPE or PRO hopper units on one tons and dump bodies. Municipal public works fleets and highway contractors buy the municipal conveyor chain, dual auger and MDS combination units for tandem dump trucks.
Why SaltDogg spreaders
- One brand from UTV to tandem. The same catalogue covers TGSUVPRO, TGS tailgate, SHPE and PRO hoppers, cubic yard hoppers and municipal units, so a fleet standardizes on one controller style and parts source.
- Parts listed by spreader model. Motors, screens and controllers name the SHPE4000, TGS06, WB400 or part numbers they fit.
- Ships across Canada. Priced in Canadian dollars, most parts ship in 7 to 10 business days from Winnipeg.
Choosing the right salt spreader
Match the hopper to the truck: a tailgate spreader for a pickup that spreads a few bags per lot, a poly hopper for a one ton that needs a load per night, a cubic yard hopper or municipal unit for a dump truck on a route. Then match the drive to the material: auger for dry salt, conveyor chain for sand and salt mixes. If you are not sure what fits, contact us with your year, make, model and configuration.
Common questions
Who makes SaltDogg spreaders?
SaltDogg is a brand of Buyers Products of Mentor, Ohio, the same company behind the SAM plow parts and DumperDogg inserts. The spreaders here are sold by Absolute Autoguard, a Canadian dealer.
What size salt spreader do I need for a pickup truck?
A TGS tailgate spreader suits a half ton or three quarter ton doing lots and driveways; an SHPE or PRO poly hopper suits a one ton or flatbed on a nightly route. Check the hopper capacity against the truck's payload.
What is the difference between an auger and a conveyor chain spreader?
An auger feeds dry, free-flowing salt from the hopper to the spinner; a pintle or conveyor chain drags heavier or wetter material such as sand and salt mixes. Most SaltDogg hoppers are listed in both versions.
