Scale up your ice management capabilities without losing the convenience of a nimble tailgate layout. The Buyers Products SaltDogg® TGS03 Tailgate Spreader doubles the capacity of smaller entry-level units, offering an expansive 8 cubic foot hopper engineered to hold up to 600 lbs of ice-melting material. Powered by a commercial-grade 1/2 HP electric dual-shaft gear motor and utilizing a rugged horizontal auger resting inside a 304 stainless steel trough, the TGS03 delivers unyielding power to break up stubborn materials. Available at Riverside Trailers, this spreader helps Magic Valley property owners clear long private drives, expansive agricultural estates, and retail property lanes with maximum efficiency.
Perfect for homeowners with large acreage, property management teams, local schools, and light commercial contractors, this high-capacity tailgate spreader mounts securely via a standard receiver hitch onto full-size machinery, including:

- 3/4-Ton Trucks (Ford F-250, Chevy Silverado 2500HD, RAM 2500, GMC Sierra 2500)

High-Capacity Unit Size & Double-Wall Construction
The SaltDogg TGS03 provides a massive 8.0 cubic foot containment capacity without forcing you to step up to a heavy, bed-mounted V-box spreader. Its frameless, double-wall poly hopper is completely corrosion-proof and UV-resistant, preventing freezing moisture from locking up the exterior shell. Sitting low against your vehicle's tailgate, it ensures clear visibility out your truck's back window. The entire structural frame is forged from rugged carbon steel and treated with an advanced black powder-coated finish to block aggressive road chemical decay.
Patented 2-Inch Hitch-Mount Style
Avoid permanent truck frame modifications, bed drilling, or complex winching brackets. The TGS03 is engineered with a simple, convenient 2-inch hitch-mount style that slides directly into any standard Class 4 receiver hitch. Featuring patented horizontal and vertical adjustments, this hitch adapter lets you fine-tune the spreader's ground clearance and distance from your bumper—ideal for accommodating a wide range of tailgates, step bumpers, or custom truck ride heights across Southern Idaho.
Advanced Material Compatibility & Feed System
Unlike smaller residential units restricted exclusively to highly processed bagged ice melt, the TGS03 features an upgraded 3-3/4 inch horizontal auger feed set inside a 304 stainless steel trough. This heavy-duty design physically breaks down chunks and prevents material from free-flowing out of the hopper throat when stopped, letting you run a broader variety of cost-effective ice management mixtures:
Bulk Salt, Bagged Rock Salt, & Premium Ice Melt: The internal auger effortlessly pulls bulk and coarse rock salt down into the discharge chute without binding, saving you substantial material costs compared to strictly relying on expensive processed retail bags.
50/50 Salt and Sand Blends: Dense, moist 50/50 salt and sand mixes are supported, but require the installation of an optional 200 lb concealed vibrator kit (Part 3020340). The vibrator breaks up bridging to keep sand mixtures flowing into the auger throat seamlessly. Note: Pure bulk sand is not recommended.
Variable Speed In-Cab Controls & Spreading Range
Take command of changing road conditions safely inside your warm truck cab. The TGS03 comes standard with an intuitive hardwired variable-speed in-cab controller that features built-in diagnostics and quick-trigger functionality. Adjust the rotation speed of the oversized 12-inch polyurethane spinner on the fly to seamlessly scale your broadcasting range. Cast a narrow 3-foot strip down residential walkways, or crank it up to a broad 30-foot radius to clear parking centers and subdivision lanes in a single forward run.
