EZ Spread: Electronic Spreader Control System
EZ Spread™ is a simple, dependable control system for basic spreading applications. Designed for granular and pre-wet material control, it delivers reliable performance in a compact, easy-to-use package. Engineered by Certified Power Solutions, EZ Spread combines essential spreading functionality with proven reliability and user-friendly operation — the ideal choice for fleets that need efficient control without complexity.
Dependable Control for Basic Spreading Applications
The EZ Spread™ electronic spreader control system supports both manual and ground-speed-oriented operations for a variety of snow and ice applications.
Product Highlights:
- Ground-speed-oriented or manual spreader control
- Three available channels for two- or three-channel operation
- Open-loop control for auger, spinner, and auxiliary (pre-wet or cross-conveyor) functions
- Adjustable settings from 0–10 for precise output management
- Backlit control panel for improved visibility
- Programmable trim settings for calibration and operator convenience
Hydraulic and Proportional Channel Control
EZ Spread™ provides independent control of up to three proportional channels, commonly configured for auger/conveyor, spinner, and either pre-wet or cross auger functions. It includes configuration mode for hydraulic trimming without the need for manual trim pots, simplifying maintenance and adjustment in the field.
Ground-Speed Operation Modes
To meet the demands of different operating preferences, EZ Spread™ offers flexible ground-speed configurations:
- Ground Speed Triggered (GST): Activates with truck motion, shuts off when stopped.
- Ground Speed Oriented (GSO): Automatically adjusts material output in proportion to vehicle speed.
- Manual Mode: Operates independently of ground speed for maximum operator control.

Legacy Reliability, Continuing Support
Although newer systems like Freedom 2™ and XDS™ offer expanded capabilities, EZ Spread™ remains a proven, low-maintenance solution for municipalities and contractors who value simplicity and dependability. Certified Power Solutions continues to provide parts, service, and technical support for all EZ Spread installations.
EZ Spread™ includes multiple safety measures to protect both the system and the operator:
- Power Safe™ signal prevents random grounds from energizing hydraulic systems
- Channel Safe™ detects and safeguards against open or short circuits on hydraulic drive channels
- Programmable Blast and Pause modes for better material efficiency and operator control
- System powers up in “Pause” mode to prevent unintentional spreading during startup
