VALE Engineering designed the Towed or Mounted Drop Gritter VALE TS80 to provide an easy solution for winter maintenance professionals needing a basic, yet reliable, method of drop spreading salt or grit onto pedestrian paths and footways.
What makes the VALE TS80 Towed or Mounted Drop Gritter stand out from competitors, is that it is designed and manufactured to the same build quality and inherent reliability of more expensive competitors, yet much more competitively priced. The TS80 also offers a superior latching drive mechanism, generally one of the main problems found with lower performance machines.
The VALE TS80 Drop Gritter has a 0.285m³ hopper capacity to take approximately 400kg of salt. This towed or mounted drop gritter can spread wet or dry, brown or white salt via a rotating roller and cams in the bottom of the hopper. It’s fitted with a standard 50mm ball coupling or category 1 three-point linkage points for use with a tractor. The spreading system is powered via a basic ground driven system which makes this drop gritter simple to use and basic to maintain.
The VALE TS80 provides a reliable method of drop spreading salt or grit onto pedestrian paths and footways.
