Upgrade Your System
At Certified Power Solutions, we help fleets evaluate their existing snow and ice control systems and decide whether to maintain, refurbish, or upgrade their equipment. Many customers still rely on SpreadSmart and XDS legacy systems, and we support those fleets by keeping older hardware functioning while also providing clear paths toward the MAX product line when the time is right.
Let's talk about upgrading!
Start by Evaluating What You Have
Most fleets want to understand whether their legacy HMIs and heads can continue in service before committing to new equipment. We work with customers to assess the condition, behavior, and age of their SpreadSmart and XDS hardware. In many cases, these units can remain productive with the right updates or refurbishment, allowing fleets to plan upgrades over time instead of all at once.
Refurbish Before You Replace
When customers send in a legacy SpreadSmart or XDS head, we refurbish it by replacing the battery pack, cleaning the unit, updating the software when needed, and loading the correct configuration file before sending it back. This process gives fleets a cost-effective way to extend the life of their existing systems without committing to a full upgrade.
When an Upgrade Makes Sense
Upgrading may be the right choice when a legacy system begins showing intermittent issues, when older hardware no longer performs consistently, or when a fleet wants improved diagnostic capability. Many customers incorporate upgrades into their long-term fleet planning rather than replacing equipment immediately. We help them determine whether continuing with a legacy system, refreshing components, or transitioning into MAX is the best fit.
Planning for the MAX Platform
As customers explore the move to XDS MAX or SpreadSmart MAX, we help them understand what changes are needed and what components can be reused. Because so many fleets still operate legacy systems, upgrades are often completed in phases. We provide guidance on installation differences, configuration needs, and system behavior so customers can modernize without disrupting winter operations.
A dedicated XDS to XDS MAX page outlines specific details for customers who want to move from the legacy XDS platform to XDS MAX.
Supporting Hybrid Fleets
Many fleets will operate a mix of legacy and MAX systems during the transition period. We support both platforms and help customers ensure that each truck is configured correctly, regardless of the control head or system version installed. This hybrid approach gives fleets flexibility while they modernize over time.
Get Started
If you are considering system upgrades, we can help evaluate your current hardware, outline your options, and recommend the best next steps. Whether you decide to maintain, refresh, or modernize, we provide clear guidance based on your equipment and operational goals.
