Vale TS800DC Off-Road Tow Behind Salt Spreader

Designed for off-road operation, this towable Salt Spreader is ideal for use in distribution centres, manufacturing plants and factory sites. Compatible with tugs such as forklifts and shunter wagons, it features a 0.8m³ mild steel hopper which can accommodate approximately 1000kg of salt. This makes it practical for use with our 1 tonne bags of salt which are easy and clean to store, therefore making hopper filling efficient and time-productive.

It has an adjustable spread width ranging from 1.8m to 15m and is fitted with a unique POZI-FEED stainless steel auger system which enables the product to spread both dry and wet salt (white or brown).

The low-maintenance and weatherproof design includes an enclosed engine and hydraulic system to reduce salt damage, whilst the hydraulic circuit is powered by an on-board electric start engine. All metal work is blast cleaned, prior to being zinc rich powder primed and completed in a polyester powder coated finish for maximum resistance against the outdoor elements.
