The MTS pro is a universally compatible salt tracking system that comes with an in-cab display, necessary wiring harnesses and a rugged shaft sensor that allows you to track granular material on most commercial spreaders. Simply put, it is an odometer for your salt spreader.

The MTS Pro displays salt usage on a large color screen, GPS tags and uploads the data to a web portal for real-time reporting and analysis.

With real-time geofencing and an interactive web portal, the system is also able to allocate salt usage to different properties based on GPS location and property boundaries. The display also shows recommended application rates for specific properties as set via the web portal. This allows for your drivers to not only know what they are putting down but also know the recommended amounts that are pre-calculated based on site square footage and event type.

The advanced version also supports integrating with flow meters to track liquid alongside granular.

Salt costs money (and has a huge impact on the environment as well as building infrastructure). Just like the odometer on your vehicle, the MTS pro accurately tracks your salt usage on a property to property and event to event basis. When the drivers are able to see what they’re putting down they automatically become more aware and conscious of their salting practices. Most of our customers see a 30% reduction in salt just by tracking alone.

Moreover, the online reporting helps identify operators that are generally heavy on salt or require additional training in as early as after a couple of events enabling quicker intervention and correction.

Short answer is yes. The MTS pro is compatible with most gas, electric and hydraulic auger and conveyor-based units. All necessary wiring and sensors are included in the kit, no special data ports or outputs are required.

Typical installation takes roughly 2 hours and can be completed in house with basic tools.

MTS Pro – Control offers all features of the MTS-Pro with the additional capability to add ground speed control to your granular and liquid spreaders.

Ground speed control automatically controls the flow of material based on a set application rate and vehicle speed. Simply put, the system ensures a consistent spread rate regardless of vehicle speed. If the vehicle speeds up, the control system dispenses more material, if the vehicle slows down the system dispenses proportionally less material and automatically stops material flow when the vehicle comes to a halt. This means consistent application rates and less work for the operators.

In most cases ground speed control for granular spreaders requires a compatible electric controller or flow control hydraulic valve. For liquid systems, a regulator valve is required.

In summary, the objective of the MTS Pro- Control is to add ground speed compensation to your existing spreaders with minimal modifications.
