Grader Blade Wings for Spreading Sand and Gravel: Do They Work?

[Jayne_Monie]

Has anyone used box scraper wings on a motor grader blade to hold more material while spreading sand or gravel? I'm looking for a practical way to reduce material spillage and save extra passes. Any recommendations or real-world experience would be appreciated!

Box scraper wings sound like a practical option for moving more sand and gravel in fewer passes. I imagine they could help reduce material spilling off the sides, especially when working on wider areas. I think the main things to consider would be the type of material, blade setup, and how well the wings hold up under heavier loads. Has anyone here used them regularly on a motor grader, and did you notice a real improvement in efficiency?
