The VALE TS1700 Tractor Towed Salt Spreader (Gritter) from VALE Engineering is a tractor-towed salt spreader (gritter) with a 1.7 m³ hopper capacity to take approximately 2000kg of salt.
This gritter can spread wet or dry, brown or white salt, via its unique POZI-FEED stainless steel auger system. This salt spreader is fitted with twin high-speed braked axles and road going wheels and tyres. The VALE TS1700 Tractor Towed Salt Spreader is hydraulically powered, either from a PTO powered pump or from the tractor’s auxiliary hydraulic take off (spool valves).
Ideal for use as part of a planned winter maintenance programme to control ice and snow.
The VALE TS1700 Tractor Towed Salt Spreader (Gritter) from VALE Engineering has 1.2m³ Mild Steel Hopper with 0.5m³ Mild Steel Hopper extensions 
Hydraulically driven stainless steel disc on the VALE TS1700 Tractor Towed Salt Spreader (Gritter) from VALE Engineering has adjustable spread width from 1.8m to 8m 
Ideal for use as part of a planned winter maintenance programme to control ice and snow.
