Invicta IMG-4 Mini Towable Spreader
The Mini Towable Spreader is the perfect solution to utilize your existing Forklift and Tug Machine to salt your private access road and goods yards. The Spreader is towed behind your vehicle with either a standard towing eye or ball hitch and salts the area via the contact axle wheels and gearbox without any electrical or hydraulic connections.
Approximate lead time: 2-3 days.
Operation
- Position the forks to the correct distance apart to locate into fork pockets.
- To attach using:- • Towing Eye – Lift the tow pin in the counter weight of the Forklift Truck and position the towing eye on the Spreader into the counterweight slot and drop the tow pin through the towing eye. • Ball hitch – Pull the Spreader up to the rear of the towing vehicle, lift and pull the handle on the Ball Hitch and position over the towbar ball and lower, then push the handle down to lock.
- Ensure that the hopper is vertical by adjusting the hole position in the diagonal adjustable arm (this ensures an even spreading and distribution of salt).
- Fill the spreader to the desired level with Dry White Salt only
- Position the flow restriction slide arm to suit level of salt flow required
- The attachment is now ready for use.
- Close the flow restriction slide arm when spreading is complete
Maintenance
- The unit should be inspected weekly for general condition with particular attention paid to: A – All weld points B – Any damaged components C – Lock & latches D – Pivot points E – The agitator unit is clean and free moving. F – Both tyres are inflated to the correct PSI.

Health & Safety
- The manager of the department or section where the attachment is to be used must be responsible for ensuring the operators are fully conversant with the attachment, its operation and maintenance.
- Operators must keep clear of the mechanism at all times and especially whilst in operation.
- When turning corners please ensure that a wide arc is taken to suit the forklift characteristics to prevent the spreader from `Sliding` the corner.
