UNI-GRIP™ SERIES AND SPREADSMART RX™
Integrated Plow & Spreader Controls
The Uni-Grip Series provides effective plow controls via performance, power and precision. Available with fully proportional capabilities and multi-function control in three different configurations, the Uni-Grip™ series of single joysticks from Certified Power Solutions offer precision operations for superior winter maintenance. The Uni-Grip series utilizes our sophisticated Mako™ software, which allows operators to individually program the speed of each direction of motion without changing wiring or making hydraulic modifications. When it comes to electronic spreader controls, the SpreadSmart RX provides your winter maintenance vehicles with accuracy, power and performance. Offering sophisticated technology such as temperature-controlled spreading, integrated load and rate management and Wi-Fi data transfer compatibility, the SpreadSmart Rx™ provides industry-leading precision and easy operation. What’s more, the SpreadSmart Rx is designed with AVL ready hardware providing the capacity to advance your system technology as needed.
