Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build a chip spreader to fit my specific dump truck?
Yes. We fabricate chip spreaders to fit different dump truck setups, including catwalk-style units mounted at the tailgate. Call (254) 965-3910 with your truck's specs and we will talk through what will work.
Do you build skid steer chip spreader buckets for all brands?
We build skid steer chip spreader buckets in a standard bucket-style, quick-attach design that fits most common skid steer setups. Let us know your machine and attachment type when you call.
What is a chip spreader used for?
Chip spreaders control the distribution of chip seal aggregate, gravel, or similar material across a road, driveway, or lot surface. Dump truck units cover larger areas for road maintenance and chip seal work; skid steer buckets are suited to tighter-access jobs, driveways, and patch work.
Can you repair an existing chip spreader instead of building a new one?
Yes. If your current chip spreader has a cracked frame, worn spreading mechanism, or damaged mounting hardware, bring it in and we will assess whether a repair or rebuild makes more sense than a full replacement.
How long does it take to build a custom chip spreader?
Turnaround depends on your equipment setup and current shop load. Call (254) 965-3910 to discuss your application and we will give you a realistic timeline before you commit.
