Every year thousands of people slip & fall, causing themselves injury, & when the path is icy, the risk is greater. The last thing you want is a member of staff, the public, your family or a visitor coming a cropper on the ice when you could have prevented it. Factor in the problems of keeping up & running when ice & snow clog up your yard, car park or forecourt & suddenly a snowfall becomes a crisis. This is what salt & ice melt spreaders were made for, & the MD THS80 Walk-Behind Spreader is one of the best example of a simple, easy & affordable way to clear your paths & walkways, keep them clear & make them safe when snow & ice come to call. With a larger capacity of 36kg (80lbs) the MD THS80 Walk-Behind Spreader can cover plenty of area before you have to refill & the weather & corrosion proof hopper is made from strong & durable polypropylene, bright red in colour for greater visibility. The flow rate of your spreading material can be adjusted to suit & is controlled from the right side handle with a large & simple to operate lever, making it easy & convenient to calibrate the distribution of ice melts or salt, even when on the move. The spreading width is up to three metres. The handle has a comfort grip, which is very welcome if you are walking around for long hours & insulates your hands from the metal frame handle. The frame is constructed from robust powder coated steel. The wheels are a good size & come fitted with robust & deeply patterned pneumatic tyres, the diamond patterning delivering superior traction even on ice or moving through slush. The handle is fully foldable, enabling you to store & transport this compact & useful spreader with ease, & it comes with a hopper screen. NB: Always remember to clean your spreader after use. This reduces the chance of corrosion & any long-term damage.
