Is There a Universal Salt Spreader That Mounts in a 2" Truck Hitch?
Published 10/21/2026
Question:
I have a pickup with a standard 2 inch receiver and I'm looking for a salt spreader for my snow removal business. I'd rather not have a big hopper taking up the truck bed since I still use it for hauling equipment. Is there a hitch-mounted spreader that can handle commercial use?

Hey Kevin!
The SaltDogg Tailgate Spreader # BP27GR sounds like a great fit! It mounts in a standard 2" receiver, keeping your truck bed open for other equipment.
It has a 10-cu-ft hopper, adjustable flow gate, and vibrator to help keep bagged rock salt flowing smoothly. You also get an in-cab controller to operate the spreader while driving.
The kit includes the wiring to connect to your truck's battery and support straps that attach to the bed's stake pockets. Just make sure your hitch and truck can handle the fully loaded weight.
What truck are you planning to install it on? I can help confirm the fit!
