JUNIOR
Spreader for high-priority interventions with 1.0 to 1.5m³ dry agent capacity.

Due to its compact dimensions, JUNIOR can be mounted on smaller freight vehicles, which makes it a good choice for winter road maintenance in urban areas. In addition to urban areas, JUNIOR is also a good choice for emergency spreading of the most sensitive parts of high priority roads.
When the JUNIOR spreader is mounted on light road patrol vehicles, it becomes an indispensable tool for removing ice and frost from bridges and overpasses on roads of high importance.
Key benefits
Precision
High precision and efficiency of spreading are enabled by the quality of construction of all spreader components and the EPOS control unit which enables the control of all spreading parameters directly from the vehicle cabin.
Durability
Combination of three systems of surface protection secures a long lifespan of the spreader even in the most difficult working conditions.
Simplicity of use
Includes the use of legs for quick mounting and demounting and a frame which can be adjusted for various mounting methods.
Main characteristics
Conveyor system
Auger conveyor for maximum efficiency
JUNIOR uses an auger conveyor. Auger protection prevents downtime due to an excessive pressure of the spreading material, and an additional cover keeps the spreading material dry, thus reducing the possibility of tunnel effect formation.
Control
Simple control and high spreading precision
Base version of the JUNIOR spreader is operated as standard with the help of the EPOS 1 control unit. The unit is intended for dry spreading and enables easy monitoring of the spread rate and width. By using the more advanced EPOS 5 control unit, the user gets features such as road-dependent spreading and monitoring of the spreader via the ARMS system.
Tracking
All information in real time
ARMS is an information and communication system for control, central monitoring, reporting and optimization of activities related to the maintenance of traffic infrastructure. Monitoring of working hours of people and machines as well as of the used resources (such as the used spreading salt, vehicle fuel etc.) in real time creates a unique possibility to quickly decide on potential saving methods. Unchangeable logs protect the user from liability by providing clear information on any taken action, while the reduced consumption of spreading material at the same time protects traffic infrastructure and its surroundings.
Drive
Spreader drive
Drive via vehicle’s hydraulic system or using one of two available types of hydraulic power unit.
Mounting
Mounting of RASCO spreaders on vehicles
Mounting on tipper box
System for mounting the spreader in a tipper box using RO-RO (Roll-On, Roll-Off) legs and rollers on the device itself is the most common and simplest mounting method. The spreader is easily attached to the tipper box by using tension chains or belts.
Mounting on vehicle chassis
Suitable in situations when the vehicle is used exclusively for road maintenance. Different devices, including the spreader, can be easily replaced on the vehicle chassis using specially designed carrying frames.
