Taylor Made De-icer Specifications and Comparisons
Among the Dock de-icers on the market, the Taylor Made Oil free De-icer line consisting of the .5 HP 6205D Taylor de-icer, the .75 HP 6208D de-icer and the 1 HP 6210D de-icer, stand out. While leaks are not common, they can occur, and with a gallon or more of oil in the motor housing of traditional de-icer designs, it can be a real problem. Whether you're worried about the environment, or fines for polluting the Taylor Oil-Free De-icer offers an environmentally friendly option. The Taylor Oil Free de-icers use a "dry" motor with only an ounce or two of oil right at the seal. They also feature a higher starting torque which means that the seals can be made even tighter, further protecting against oil leaks. A quick check of prices and ice clearing power show that neither was sacrificed in the design of this new De-icer. Power specifications and suggested uses for each Taylor Made de-icer model is listed below.
