Product Information
Full details
The Slingsby Shoulder Mounted Salt Spreader is an ideal solution for facility managers and property owners who need to maintain safety on uneven terrain, steep inclines, or narrow pathways where traditional wheeled spreaders fail. This tool excels at precise, manual ice management by keeping the load close to the operator, though users should note that it requires manual effort and is exclusively designed for use with dry, free-flowing salt to prevent clogging.

FAQs
What type of salt should I use?
You must use dry, free-flowing salt. Wet or clumped grit will clog the mechanism.
How much salt can it hold?
The hopper has a maximum capacity of 8 litres.
Is it suitable for steep hills?
Yes, its shoulder-mounted design makes it far superior to wheeled spreaders for uneven terrain.
How heavy is the unit?
The unit weighs 3kg when empty.
How do I maintain the gearbox?
Keep it clean and free of salt residue. Store the unit in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Mechanism feels stiff or jammed
Ensure the salt used is dry and free-flowing. Clear any clumps blocking the exit port.
Uneven spread pattern
Check that the agitator is rotating properly and that you are maintaining a consistent walking speed.
Strap discomfort
Adjust the length of the shoulder strap to reposition the center of gravity closer to your torso.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent for hilly or uneven terrain where wheels are impractical
- Durable gearbox engineered for longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: attach the adjustable shoulder strap to the mounting points on the bag and ensure the gearbox handle moves freely before filling. Compatibility is limited specifically to dry, free-flowing salt; using wet, clumping, or coarse materials will likely lead to mechanical failure. After every use, empty any remaining salt from the hopper and wipe down the exterior and internal mechanisms to prevent salt corrosion. Store in a dry, covered area to protect the gearbox and strap materials from environmental degradation.
