Introduction to Elston Traction Sanders for Trucks

1

Overview

An Elston Traction Sander is an on-demand, gravity-fed delivery system designed to provide you with
improved traction at the push of a button. When the button on the dash is pressed, electricity energizes a
solenoid in the base of each sander opening a valve to allow grit to fall out of the bottom of the tank. The
grit travels down each of the rubber tubes and is deposited directly in front of the tires.
The Elston Traction Sander set sent to you is one of the following three styles listed in the tables below.
The only differences between the styles is the size and shape of the hopper used to store the grit.
Mounting kits are available for all 3 styles. Please inquire at elstonmfg.com or toll free at 1-800-845-
1385 at availability and pricing for these mounting kits.
