The CW500 is a reliable, lightweight shoulder mounted spreader offering up to a 19.5ft spread width. The on off mechanism on shoulder spreaders has historically been fiddley. In addition, the zip on the bags and the gear boxes have been susceptible to breaking. We have significantly enhanced the gearbox, improved the tensile strength of the bag and simplified the design of the spreader providing superior reliability and strength. Most important of our improvements is the gearbox - the new CW500 is built for smooth running and longevity.
