Product Information
Full details
The Slingsby Towable Broadcast Salt Spreader is an essential tool for groundskeepers and facility managers who need to maintain safety on medium to large properties during winter months. Its robust design, featuring an 80kg capacity and pneumatic tyres, offers a significant efficiency boost for clearing ice from pathways and car parks. However, users should be aware that the towable design requires a compatible towing vehicle, making it less suitable for sites that exclusively rely on manual labour for ice control.
