The VALE TS5000 Tractor Towed Salt Spreader (Gritter) is one of VALE Engineering’s largest tractor-towed gritters with a 5.0m³ hopper capacity to take approximately 7000kg of salt.
Like other VALE Engineering salt spreaders, the VALE TS5000 is capable of spreading wet or dry, brown or white salt, via its unique POZI-FEED stainless steel auger system.
Fitted with a high-speed agricultural axle and high speed wheels and tyres. Braking by S-cam brakes hydraulically or by optional air brakes. The spreading circuit is hydraulically powered from the tractor’s auxiliary hydraulic take off (spool valves).
This is an excellent tractor-towed salt spreader, ideal for use by local authorities and independent contractors responsible for the winter maintenance of highways and roads.
