Shipping & Freight

For an order containing products from a single brand, shipping is a flat rate based on your order total:

  • Orders up to $5,000: $279
  • Orders $5,000 to $10,000: $347
  • Orders $10,000 and over: $517

These rates cover standard freight delivery to a commercial address. After you place your order, our team will confirm your delivery timeline within 1 to 3 business days.

Ordering from more than one brand? Multi-brand orders ship on separate freight and are quoted individually rather than at the flat rate above. Place your order or contact us first and we will confirm total freight before anything is finalized.

Liftgate service is not included in these rates. If your delivery location has no loading dock or forklift to unload the freight from the truck, liftgate service is required and will be added to your shipping charge. If you are unsure whether you need it, contact us before ordering.

Commercial delivery locations are preferred when available. Residential delivery, limited-access locations, and appointment scheduling may affect handling.

Lead times vary by product, manufacturer availability, and selected options. Some configured, special-order, or non-stock items require additional processing time before they ship.

Please inspect all freight shipments at delivery before signing. If you see visible damage, note it with the carrier and contact us as soon as possible.

If you need freight, delivery, or lead-time guidance before ordering, contact our team before you purchase.

Compatibility / Fitment

Compatibility varies by product type, machine setup, selected options, and intended application.

For machine-mounted equipment and attachments, buyers should confirm fitment before ordering using the relevant machine information, including model, attachment style, mount type, coupler type, hydraulic requirements, and any other product-specific requirements listed on the page.

Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

If you are unsure whether a product will work with your machine or application, contact us before placing the order.

Returns & Warranty

Warranty coverage is provided by the product manufacturer where applicable. Warranty terms, coverage periods, exclusions, and claim procedures vary by brand and product type.

Hardscape Heavy does not create separate warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer’s warranty unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Returns are governed by our store return policy. Because many products in this category involve freight shipping, special ordering, or configuration-specific selections, return eligibility may vary by product and condition.

Please review our full return policy before purchase. If you have questions about return eligibility or manufacturer warranty coverage for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

The HitchDoc Sandpiper Spreader is a self-loading hopper spreader for the crew that has to salt a lot at two in the morning and top-dress a lawn the following week. Tipping the hopper down turns the cutting edge into a scoop, so the operator refills from the pile without leaving the seat, which is what separates a working shift from a stop-start one. Adjustable gates and variable hydraulic speed control set the rate, and the spread pattern narrows to thirty inches with the sidewalk skirt or opens to thirty feet without it.

The hopper is built for the materials that break lesser spreaders. A formed steel spreader disc holds up in freezing weather where cast or plastic discs crack, a rotating steel agitator keeps damp salt and lime from bridging over the outlet, and bolt-on paddles replace individually instead of taking the disc with them. A heavy-duty grate with three-inch openings bolts over the hopper to keep lumps and hands out, and steps on both sides make getting in and out of the cab straightforward when the operator is checking the gate setting between passes.

Common Applications

  • Spreading sand or salt on roads, parking lots, sidewalks and paths in winter
  • Spreading seed, fertilizer or lime during planting and growing seasons
  • Precise spreading along a sidewalk or path with the deflector skirt fitted

Selection Notes

  • Two hopper capacities: 8 cu ft and 18 cu ft
  • Self-loading; tip the hopper down and scoop to refill
  • Variable hydraulic speed control with manual, infinitely adjustable gates
  • Spreader wheel is 18 in on the 8 cu ft model and 24 in on the 18 cu ft model
  • The removable sidewalk deflector skirt is chosen with the spreader in the buy box rather than ordered afterwards, and it narrows the spread to a 30 in or 38 in path
  • Confirm hydraulic flow, pressure and coupler face with supplier

Included with Purchase

  • 1 HitchDoc Sandpiper Spreader (variant/model as ordered)
  • Standard couplers with hydraulic lines
  • Protective grate
  • Steel agitator
  • Adjustable gates
  • Quick-tach mount plate
  • The removable sidewalk deflector skirt chosen in the buy box, where that choice is not None included

Not Included Unless Stated

  • Removable sidewalk deflector skirt, wherever the buy box choice reads None included
  • Skid steer
  • On-site installation or machine configuration

The sidewalk deflector skirt carries its own part number per capacity, H-SP01030 on the 8 cu ft and H-SP-500 on the 18 cu ft, which is why it is chosen with the spreader here rather than ordered afterwards. Once set, the wrench-free kit holds material to a 30 in or 38 in path.

Note: Confirm exact included components and mount hardware with supplier at time of order.
