BID - Plow Trucks 2005

The document provides specifications for a spreader system and a body cover for a truck. The spreader system should be capable of variable signals and have adjustable flow circuits for proper function. Excess hydraulic flow should be bypassed to a downstream circuit. The spreader control system should be located within the cab for easy operation. The spreader circuit should be internally shuttled for smooth operation between conveyor and spinner circuits. The plumbing should be located and shielded to protect cab personnel. The only quick couplers needed are for the plow angle right and angle left. The hydraulic tubes should be integrated, modular, ½" ID stainless steel tubes, custom bent and mounted in cushion clamps. Extended lengths of hydraulic hose are not accepted. The body cover should be a "Mountain Tarp" under body mount for a 10' body, mounted on the cab shield with smooth wind guard and ¼" smooth end plates. The direct drive motor for the body cover should have 1100 lbs torque, 1.1 HP, 12 volts, and a 3-year non-prorated full warranty. The tarp should be made of 18 oz. black vinyl and mounted with 5/8" torsion springs. The tarp controls should be mounted within the truck cab. The tarp should be mounted to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion with the aluminum body. For further questions, the Fleet Manager and Purchasing Agent can be contacted.
