Be prepared with the right spreader

Broadcast spreaders work by covering a large area in a thin but consistent layer of salt or seed.

For smaller areas, the Handy THS50 broadcast push spreader is ideal as it’s robust but lightweight and easy to use.

This machine is ideal for salt, grass seed and fertilisers with its adjustable feed control and a spread of up to 3.66m and you can actually vary the spread width by walking quicker or slower.

As the machine is pushed forward the product in the hopper drops onto a rotating agitator that then distributes the product consistently, reliably and effi ciently so there’s no overdosing or wastage and you can even control the fl ow of the product onto the agitator from the hopper.

This particular Handy spreader also has pneumatic wheels which makes it easy and effortless to use on uneven surfaces.

It also has a hopper-cover to prevent spillage and wind or rain affecting the contents of the hopper.

For larger areas Towable spreaders and Drop spreaders can be used. Towable spreaders, such as the Handy THTS, are ones that can be attached to vehicles and used at low speeds to cover very large areas.

Drop spreaders will deliver a large volume of salt in a targeted area in a consistent and even way. Easy to push, drop spreaders such as the Handy THTDS are particularly suitable in areas up to 5,000 sq. ft.
