VALE Engineering has developed the VALE TS800DC Tug-Towed Salt Spreader (Gritter) specifically for use off-highway with site-based tugs, such as forklifts and shunter wagons. These can be found at most factories, manufacturing plants and distribution depots.
The hopper of the VALE TS800DC Tug-Towed Salt Spreader is designed to take approximately 1000kg of salt, making it ideal for use with 1-ton bulk bags, which are easy and clean to store and make hopper filling simple and efficient. This gritter is capable of spreading wet or dry, brown or white salt, via its unique POZI-FEED stainless steel auger system, whilst still maintaining a smooth salt flow even at low rates.
Designed to keep manufacturing plants and distribution depots fully operational during winter months, the VALE TS800DC Tug-Towed Salt Spreader (Gritter) requires minimal servicing as it features a very simple and easy-to-maintain chassis design, with enclosed engine and hydraulic system to reduce salt damage. The hydraulic circuit is driven by on-board electric start engine. The VALE TS800DC Tug-Towed Salt Spreader is designed for use with site-based tugs, such as forklifts and shunter wagons, at manufacturing plants and distribution depots. The VALE TS800DC is not suitable for use on the public highway as it is not type approved.
