Question:

Can one truck handle both the ME26FR for residential jobs and the ME48FR for commercial work by swapping units?

Marcus, interesting idea. In theory, yes, both are 2 inch shank tailgate spreaders and could share the same receiver and wiring setup, so you could swap out Base Line # ME26FR or Blaster # ME48FR depending on the job.

That said, the extra weight of # ME48FR may stress your bumper or suspension when in place, depending on which truck you have. Also, I think it would be a bit pointless to have two different spreaders for the same truck.

If you sometimes do light and heavy jobs back-to-back, you might consider leaving the heavier unit on and using it gently or only partially load for lighter jobs instead of wasting money on two units.
