Clearing roads and parking lots is a much tougher job than what you may think, especially if you are not using a good salt spreader. Investing in a wrong product is not only a waste of money but it also makes you vulnerable to injuries and makes your job difficult. Here are a few questions that you should ask yourself to shop for the right salt spreader-
  • What do you need to spread? - Before you shop for a salt spreader, you should know in advance what material you would be spreading with it. The choice of product greatly depends on it. If you are going to spread finer materials, small to mid-size capacity spreaders may do the job for you. But, if you need to spread rock salt, you should go for a tailgate hopper.

  • What is your truck’s GWAR rating? - GWAR stands for Gross Weight Axle Rating. Higher the GWAR rating of your truck, larger the truck salt spreader you would require and vice-versa. Using a small spreader with a vehicle with higher GWAR can be dangerous and put your safety at risk.  

  • What is the use- commercial or personal? - For basic salt spreading requirements, a regular spreader with decent capacity is a wise choice. For commercial purposes, for example, if you have contracts with landowners, go for a robust spreader with more capacity, which can contain salt as high as a cubic volume of the material.

  • How frequently will you attach and detach? - If you are supposed to attach and detach the unit very frequently, you should ideally not go for a spreader that comes with fussy attachments as you may have to undertake work in chilly weather or at nights when there is low visibility. The attachment and detachment should be easy and quick. 
Not only investing in a good quality product is important, proper maintenance is also crucial to keep the spreader in a good shape. Make spreading easy with the right salt spreader.
