The latest in winter product offerings for 2018
With the turn of each season, new products are unveiled with fancy new features and lofty promises of what they can do for your business. We’re not making any guarantees, however, in 2018, we’ve introduced some great products from a variety of vendors.
Whether you’re looking for a spreader, de-icer or a do-it-all snow contractor kit, we’ve compiled the best of the best so you can shop confidently.
Spyker’s latest commercial-grade broadcast spreader is the Ergo-Pro, designed for accuracy, efficiency and comfort.
In addition to large pneumatic tires, the Ergo-Pro features the industry’s first ergonomically approved handle. If you’re going to cover 2000 square feet, you might as well be comfortable doing it. The ergonomically approved handle can be adjusted from 5’3” to 6’6” height to reduce fatigue.
The new Ergo-Pro Spreader from Spyker is available in two frames: powder-coated or stainless steel. An all-welded, impact-resistant frame with fully enclosed metal gears provides prolonged durability.
The Ergo-Pro will be your go-to spreader for seasons to come.
You could take time, presumably several hours, to piece together your own liquid sprayer setup, but we’ve already done the hard part for you. The SnowEx Liqui Maxx Deluxe System is a great choice for commercial de-icing.
The 4-part SnowEx spray system includes:
- 750-GAL Brine Tank
- Deluxe Electric Start Mower
- Deluxe Remote Control with Spray Zones
- Triple Nozzle Poly Spray Boom
The Liqui Maxx Deluxe System negates the challenge of finding the ideal setup for your applications. The triple-nozzle spray boom offers users complete control over spray settings, allowing you to adjust and fine tune application rates on the fly.

Entry Liquid De-icer from Secure Winter Products touts a unique formula that protects against re-freezing and easily penetrates snow and ice on contact. Entry is incredibly quick-acting — typically you can see results in less than 5 minutes.
Entry also sets itself apart from other ice melt products with their Chloride and Urea-free formula. Chlorides, commonly found in many ice melt products, can be harmful to animals as well as dehydrating nearby turf and ornamentals.
Quick Tips
- Apply when temperature is between 0˚F – 30˚F.
- Remove as much snow and ice as possible before applying
- Apply using a vertical fan tip nozzle
