Title/Name/Summary
Henderson FSH™ V-box Spreaders Purchase
History
Henderson offers state-of-the-art snow and ice plow packages with updated user controls and body versatility. The frame mounted V-boxes utilize corrosion resistant stainless steel for extended usable life. To ensure safe operation of the vehicles, up-fit packages include high visibility emergency lighting packages and multiple cameras.
Since FY 2023, the Village has taken delivery of six (6) total trucks upfitted with this specified equipment and setup. Standardizing the Village snow and ice equipment has ensured safe operation of the equipment while minimizing employee training.
The previous six (6) trucks were specified with stainless steel dump beds with slip in V-boxes. The dump bodies are utilized throughout the year to support Public Works projects. The current fleet of dump bodies meets the needs of the Village and the 2025 truck replacements do not require a dump bed. A frame-mounted V-box spreader removes the dump bed from the build, and provides a savings of $40,000.00 per unit. With the rear hitch plate, the trucks will be used as traffic attenuator trucks and to tow the Village’s air brake trailers when not being used for snow and ice.
Two (2) Peterbilt 548 chassis trucks are scheduled for mid-2025 delivery. These two (2) trucks will be up-fitted with the frame mounted V-box and plow package.
