Details and features

81008A 80 Pound Residential Ice Melt Spreader

Designed for residential ice melt and salt, the Chapin 81008A 80-pound broadcast ice melt spreader has a weather-resistant polyethylene hopper and sits on a powder-coated steel frame. This winter ice melt spreader works with common salt, halite, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride (small and pelletized particulates) and the gate lever changes the sizes of the gate opening depending on your particulates. The spiked auger helps break up clumps to spread evenly and there’s no assembly with the flip up handle. Wide-tread, 10-inch pneumatic tires move over uneven ground and baffles direct where the ice melt should go. A rain/snow cover is included to protect what’s in the hopper, while in use. Made in the USA with global materials and backed by Chapin’s 2-year limited warranty.
