The VALE TS500 Tractor Towed Salt Spreader (Gritter) is the entry level salt spreader design from VALE Engineering with a 0.5m³ hopper capacity to take approximately 600kg of salt.
Capable of spreading wet or dry, brown or white salt via its unique POZI-FEED stainless steel auger system. Fitted with un-braked axles and road going wheels and tyres, the VALE TS500 Tractor Towed Salt Spreader is driven hydraulically via the tractor’s PTO powered pump or from the tractor auxiliary hydraulic circuit (spool valves).
Ideal for use during periods of ice and snow as part of a planned winter maintenance programme.
