Description
Product Overview
The Kelmado 12V DC salt spreader motor is built to meet the demanding conditions of winter road maintenance. Constructed with a sealed housing, the motor protects internal components from moisture, road salt, and temperature extremes, extending service life and reducing the need for frequent replacements. Its compact dimensions—8.15 x 5.75 x 5.71 inches—and a weight of 6.51 pounds make it easy to handle while still delivering the torque required to distribute de‑icing material evenly across large surface areas.
Designed specifically for Buyers and Saltdogg tailgate spreaders, this motor is a direct replacement for part numbers 3005414, 3005693, 08729, 062804, BP801-0058, BP801-005B, BPC12, EX0712, and W-8018. Compatibility extends to the TGSUV1B and TGSUVPRO models, as well as select TGSUV1 and TGSUG1A series units, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for additional adapters or wiring modifications.
Manufactured by Kelmado, a brand known for durable outdoor equipment, the motor operates on a standard 12‑volt DC electrical system. This voltage level aligns with most vehicle battery setups, allowing for straightforward integration into existing power supplies. The motor’s sealed design also helps prevent corrosion caused by exposure to road salts, a common issue that can degrade performance over time.
Usage
Ideal for homeowners, property managers, and professional contractors, this motor excels in a variety of winter maintenance scenarios. Whether you are clearing sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, or small commercial pathways, the motor provides consistent material flow, reducing the time and effort required to keep surfaces safe and slip‑free. Its robust construction makes it suitable for repeated daily use throughout the entire de‑icing season.
Installation is simple: remove the existing motor, align the mounting brackets, and connect the 12‑volt power leads. No rewiring or special tools are required, which means you can have the unit up and running in minutes. After installation, the motor operates quietly, minimizing noise disruption in residential neighborhoods while delivering reliable performance.
Maintenance is minimal. Periodic inspection of the mounting hardware and a quick visual check for any salt buildup will keep the motor operating at peak efficiency. The sealed housing reduces the need for frequent cleaning, but a light rinse with fresh water after heavy salt exposure can further prolong the motor’s lifespan.
