Struggling with uneven salt spreading and high snow-melting agent waste in winter? Our commercial salt spreader is the answer. It uses centrifugal force to spread snow-melting agents evenly, saving over 40% of agents per unit area. Whether you’re maintaining highways, airports, or parking lots, this equipment cuts labor costs and boosts efficiency—let’s see how it works for you.
This vehicle-mounted, rear-mounted device is suitable for spreading anti-skid sand and snowmelt on icy and snowy roads. It is essential for winter snow removal on municipal roads, sanitation facilities, and highways. Consists of an engine, transmission, chassis, adjustment handle, and spinner. It can be mounted directly on the vehicle’s tailgate via a bracket.
Model: YG-160 Speed: 20-30 km/h Engine: Honda gasoline engine (5.5 hp) Dimensions: 1150 x 910 x 1400 mm Spreading capacity: 0.25-0.8 kg/m² Weight: 125 kg
This disc-type spreading device uses the centrifugal ejection principle. After the de-icing agent passes through the hopper and is fed into the disc-type spreading device, it is thrown out by the centrifugal force of the high-speed rotating disc. The higher the speed, the greater the throwing distance. This effectively avoids the waste of de-icing agent and ensures uniform spreading of the de-icing agent.
Model: YG-3000 Weight: 85 kg Depth: 610 mm Width: 1120 mm Height: 1310 mm DC Motor Maximum Power: 200 W Voltage: DC 12 V (24 V) Controller: Continuously variable speed Lubricant: Low-temperature grease Type: Geared motor Spreading Width: 1-9 m Spreading Disc: 31 cm Polyester Material Adjustment Plate: Adjustable Polyester Hopper Capacity: 0.3 m³/365 kg Hopper Material: Polyethylene Spreading Media: Salt, de-icing agent, sand, granular gravel Feed Mechanism: Internal auger spreader with adjustable feed gate
Wide Application: Spreads coarse salt, fine salt, de-icing agent, dry sand, and special de-icing agents.
Uniform Spreading: Adjustable spreading amount and width.
High-Strength Corrosion Resistance: Made of high-strength carbon steel with special anti-corrosion treatment.
Waterproof and Moisture-Proof: The tarpaulin above the hopper protects against rain and snow, preventing the de-icing agent particles from becoming damp and clumping. The tarpaulin is flexible and durable.
Easy Maintenance: The removable and adjustable throwing disc mechanism facilitates installation and cleaning.
Uniform Material Distribution: The spreader is equipped with a filter to reduce the entry of large particles and debris into the equipment, ensuring the safety of the equipment, pedestrians, and vehicles.
Rational Structure: A special pressure relief device is installed inside the box to protect the normal operation of the equipment. The box adopts a V-shaped silo. The simple and reliable structure ensures automatic discharge of the de-icing agent, ensuring complete discharge without residue.
Stable Performance and Reliable Quality. The scraper chain structure provides forced conveying, ensuring uniform and reliable material discharge and easy maintenance.
Simple Operation: Startup, shutdown, and spreading are all controlled by remote control, making the equipment easy and safe to operate.
Features & Technical Advantages of Commercial Salt Spreader
Core Uses & Working Principle
The commercial salt spreader is designed for ice and snow removal on roads, airports, squares, and factories. Its working principle is simple yet effective: snow-melting agents in the hopper are sent to the disc spreader. Driven by a high-speed rotating disc, the agent is thrown out by centrifugal force—higher speed means farther throwing distance. The V-shaped vertical hopper (with a 12V rotating motor) and auger-driven spreader (helical conveying) ensure continuous and stable feeding.
Unique Technical Features
Corrosion resistance: The hopper is made of polyethylene, and key parts are electrostatically sprayed—this extends the machine’s service life.
Stepless speed regulation: The controller has stepless speed change and overload protection, preventing damage from excessive load.
Adjustable width: You can adjust the spreading width according to needs, avoiding waste in small areas.
Strong adaptability: It fits various light trucks and dump trucks—our commercial salt spreaders for dump trucks are popular among municipal teams.
Core Advantages
Compared to ordinary spreaders, our commercial salt spreader stands out:
Saves over 40% snow-melting agent due to even spreading.
High efficiency: One machine replaces 3-5 manual workers.
How much snow-melting agent can a commercial salt spreader hold?
We offer 2-16 cubic meter models. For example, the 6-cubic model fits roads with daily operation areas of 50,000-80,000㎡
Can I adjust the spreading width of the commercial salt spreader?
Yes! The controller lets you adjust the width from 2m to 10m—perfect for narrow parking lots (use a parking lot salt spreader for small areas) and wide highways.
Will the commercial salt spreader fit my truck?
It fits most trucks. For example, 2-cubic models need a wheelbase over 2000mm, while 10-cubic models need over 3900mm. We also provide salt spreader for truck hitch installation for easy mounting.
How to maintain the commercial salt spreader?
After use, clean the hopper to avoid agent caking; check the auger driven spreader for blockages monthly. We offer free maintenance guides too.
Is the spreading even?
Yes. The spinner spreader disc and helical conveying work together—no uneven spots. Many customers say it reduces rework by 80%.
Can your spreaders handle other materials?
Yes, our spreaders can be used for more than just de-icing agents. They can also be used for dry sand, special anti-skid agents, and other materials, making them highly versatile.
Application Scenarios & Success Cases of Commercial Salt Spreader
Key Application Areas
Highways/municipal roads: Remove ice quickly to keep traffic smooth.
Airports: Strict even spreading to protect runways.
Parking lots: Use a parking lot salt spreader for safe pedestrian and vehicle movement.
Factories/squares: Prevent slips and falls for employees and visitors.
Success Case (Canada)
Mr. Smith, a municipal worker in Ontario, Canada, faced issues: winter highway ice caused 2-3 traffic jams weekly, and manual spreading wasted 50% agent. He chose our 6-cubic commercial salt spreader (mounted on a dump truck). Results:
Ice removal time cut by 50% (from 8h to 4h per 100km).
Snow-melting agent usage down by 42%.
No traffic jams for 3 months—his team renewed the order this year.
How to Choose Commercial Salt Spreader Capacity Based on Operation Area
Choose capacity by daily operation area (key for cost-saving):
2-4 cubic: For small areas (e.g., community parking lots, 10,000-30,000㎡/day). 6-8 cubic: For medium areas (e.g., county roads, 50,000-100,000㎡/day). 10-16 cubic: For large areas (e.g., national highways, airports, over 100,000㎡/day). Our team can calculate the right capacity for you—just share your daily workload.
