Kuhn has extended its range of mounted salt and sand spreaders, adding the smaller Axeo 2.1 with a maximum load capacity of 800kg to two existing larger models.

As with the earlier models, the Axeo 2.1 is adaptable for use with salt, sand and grit. This new model has a hopper capacity that can be extended from 250 to 350 litres and includes an agitator design feature that prevents settling and compaction of materials.

Distribution over the treatment area is adjusted easily and without tools by changing the point at which material is delivered to the disc. Stainless steel deflectors control the spread width (up to 8 metres). It is possible to move the deflectors independently to right or left and – for applications to pavements for example – spread to the right can be cut off. The spreading disc has eight blades to provide improved distribution of materials, particularly at high forward speeds.

The Axeo, which can also be used to spread fertiliser, is part of Kuhn’s Amenity Pro range and is available through the company’s nationwide distributor network. Starting price for the Axeo 2.1 is £3,634 plus VAT.
