This high quality and robust Liquid De-icer/Snowbrush Mini-Tractor Combi is a market-leading design incorporating both VALE TM400 liquid de-icing sprayer and 1.3m front-mounted snowbrush.
Liquid De-Icers are by far the best way to ensure cycleways and paths are safe to use during winter months as the use of grit might reduce ice, but grit also introduces a hazardous surface to cycle or walk on as residue grit is slippery. This reduces a cycle’s braking and steering capabilities. Rock salt can also damage sensitive structures.
VALE Engineering’s Liquid De-icer/Snowbrush Mini-Tractor Combi has been designed specifically to work on narrow cycleways and manoeuvre around bollards and other street furniture with ease in city centres – particularly in comparison to full-size, winter maintenance vehicles. As a result, the company’s Mini-Tractor Combis have become the equipment of choice for many local authority clients including major metropolitan districts and unitary authorities.
This Mini-Tractor Combi is capable of various liquid de-icer application rates and configurations to suit many alternative requirements and can be used on, around or adjacent to, any structure or surface that might be susceptible to either corrosion or staining. For example: bridges and flyovers where mild steel reinforcement is at risk of corrosion; street furniture and paving where unrefined grit can permanently stain the surface; and vulnerable historic structures, including listed buildings, where rock salt may damage the surface integrity of the building’s exterior.
The Liquid De-icer/Snowbrush Mini-Tractor Combi is also available to hire, being part of VALE Engineering’s hire fleet of winter maintenance equipment. This combination is a popular hire option as it enables the effective treatment of cycleways, footpaths and city centres during periods of ice and snow.
