Henderson FSH Series 10
The Henderson FSH Series 10 is recognized for its compact, corrosion-resistant design that appeals to cold-climate municipalities and contractors needing a durable but space-efficient bulk hopper and conveyor spreader. It is typically more affordable to spec for smaller fleets than large-capacity leaders like the Western Striker 12 or Arctic Machine Works AMW-8000, while offering better environmental protection and modular serviceability than many entry-level units. For buyers who need ruggedness in a smaller package, the FSH Series 10 offers a financially sensible trade-off between capacity and long-term maintenance costs.
