A materials spreader for a plant for the continuous deposition of conveyable material, the substructure of which is supported on three support points and has a discharge jib. The support points of its substructure are designed as pontoons resting on the ground. A transport vehicle is provided underneath the substructure for moving the spreader. This transport vehicle is not permanently connected to the substructure.

A spreader for granular and/or powdery material such as fertilizer comprises a hopper having two delivery parts. Distribution members are provided under the delivery parts for broadcasting material fed to them from the hopper. The distribution members are mounted on a carrier rigidly supported by the hopper. This construction results in a fixed position of the distribution member with respect to the delivery parts, regardless of deflections which may occur as a result of the weight of material i...

A spreader assembly is adapted to be mounted on a vehicle having a tailgate and a bumper. The spreader includes a hopper having an upper section and a bottom section, the bottom section having a lower material discharge chamber terminating in a lower discharge opening; a broadcast spreader positioned beneath said discharge opening; and a spill plate to at least partially regulate the flow of particulate material through the discharge opening.

A spreader for lifting freight containers includes a frame having a number of pickup elements mounted thereon, a processor and a data storage device mounted on the frame.

A spreader comprises a hopper having two delivery parts. At the bottom of each delivery part there is a delivery member having an outwardly and upwardly inclined wall in which are which has outlet ports (29, 30) in it. The bottom of the delivery member (25) is closed by a distribution member (4). The inclined position of the wall of the delivery member (25) in which the outlet ports (29, 30) are provided enables high rates of flow of material from the hopper (2) to be achieved. A cover for the o...
