Buyer Guide De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 If you’re looking for a salt spreader or de-icer, here are a few things you should keep in mind.

• Are you spreading salt on a road, on an airfield, in a parking lot, or on a walkway?
• Product Rating. Salt spreaders and de-icers are rated according to how durable they are. A higher-rated product will be more durable.
• Capacity. How much salt are you spreading? A single-cell de-icer is 4.2 lbs., whereas a 6-cell de-icer is 26 lbs.
• Weight. Weight is mostly related to portability and ease of use. If portability isn’t an issue, most salt spreaders and de-icers will be light enough to carry.
• Salt Type Required. The salt type required varies by application. If you’re spreading salt on a road, you should be using rock salt. If you’re spreading salt on an airfield, you should be using regular salt. If you’re spreading salt on a parking lot, you should be using fine-grade salt.

How to choose De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 When shopping for salt and de-icers, it’s important to consider a few factors:

• How much do you need? In some cases, salt spreaders and de-icers can be bulky. If you know that you’re going to be carrying your salt spreader in the car and need to use it frequently, it may be better to invest in a larger size.
• How wide is the spreader or de-icer? If you’re going to be using it on icy roads, a wide spreader or de-icer may be best.
• Do you need a storage case? If your salt spreader or de-icer is going to be used on a regular basis, you may want to consider investing in a storage case.
• Do you need a shovel attachment? If you regularly find yourself shoveling snow, you may want to consider buying a shovel attachment for your spreader or de-icer.
• Do you need a bag? Some spreaders and de-icers also include a bag for carrying salt, which can be convenient.
• Do you need a hand drier? Some spreaders and de-icers include a hand drier, which can make it easier to spread salt while still having your hands free.

How to maintain De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 Salt spreaders and de-icers are used to help prevent snow and ice-related accidents, but it’s important to keep them in tip-top shape so that they can be effective.

• Regularly check batteries. Most salt spreaders and de-icers run on batteries or electricity. If you find that the batteries aren’t holding a charge, you should replace them as soon as possible.
• Check the pressure. Salt spreaders and de-icers use compressed air to propel salt across driveways, but it’s important to regularly check these hoses to make sure they are in good condition. If you notice that the pressure is dropping, it may be time to replace the hose.
• Clean the salt spreader. Salt spreaders and de-icers can get quite dirty, especially if you are regularly using them. It is a good idea to clean the salt spreader after each use, especially if it has been used in the winter.
• Check the blades. Salt spreaders and de-icers use metal blades to cut through the snow and ice. If the blades become dull, they may not be able to cut through the ice as effectively as they should. It is a good idea to periodically sharpen the blades.
• Check the engine. Salt spreaders and de-icers need to be hooked up to a power source. If you find that your spreader or de-icer is not adequately powering on, you should replace it.
