COARSE MATERIALS (Bulk Salt) 5-7

Deicers with larger granules can be purchased in large quantities. If you manage several snow and ice accounts that require deicing, you will most likely need a higher capacity spreader and may also need to purchase deicers in bulk.

SAND & BULK SALT MATERIALS (Sand/Salt & Sand) 8 & 9
