SnowEx Introduces Full Line of De-Icing & Anti-Icing Sprayers
Responding to the growing popularity of liquid brine solutions for use in snow and ice maintenance applications, SnowEx, a product division of TrynEx International, introduces a complete line of AccuSpray de-icing/anti-icing sprayers. Available in three sizes - 100-, 200-, and 300-gallon capacities - AccuSpray units are compatible with a wide range of vehicles, from utility vehicles and light- and medium-duty trucks to larger flatbed and dump trucks. The units can spray all de-icing and anti-icing liquids available on the market.
Designed for versatility, the sprayers offer three methods of delivering brine solution. Five downward facing nozzles in the boom drive surface spraying; a nozzle on each end of the boom allows lateral (or curb) spraying; and a handheld wand is used for spot spraying. The spray wand includes 100 feet of hose standard on a heavy-duty retractable reel. Trigger-activated, the wand offers a spray pattern from hollow cone to straight stream.
AccuSpray controllers feature a simple switch panel to activate three separate electric pumps, which power three spray zones (right, left, and center).
All SnowEx AccuSpray sprayers include a two-year parts and labor warranty.

New E-Line Saddle Box Helps Secure Tools
Knaack L.L.C. and WEATHERGUARD Products introduce the new E-Line Model 143 Saddle Box. The truck box is the first product in a new series.
The E-Line Saddle Box Model 143 is secure, durable, and convenient to use, according to the manufacturer. A secure locking system and a tamper-resistant, full-length, piano-style hinge provide protection against break-ins. The 143 also features "easy find" organization with a removable tool box and lift-out tote tray. The saddle box's sturdy, heavy-duty construction features a reinforced aluminum diamond-plate body with an automotive-grade, baked-on powder-coat finish for long-lasting appearance.
Automotive-style latches, with a paddle handle mechanism, make single-handed opening easy, even when wearing bulky work gloves. Fully open, the cover sits at a 90-degree angle, providing access to the inside of the box.
Vehicle installation is quick and easy, according to Knaack. Drill-free, heavy-duty J-bolt mounting brackets are simple to attach and ensure complete security, according to the manufacturer. Mounting pads prevent bed rail scratches and also dampen vibration when the vehicle is in motion.
