Designed for residential use, Chapin’s 81008A 80-pound residential salt/ice melt spreader has a weather-resistant poly hopper to fill with your preferred ice melt, halite or small particulates. Supported on a powder-coated steel frame with the ergonomically designed bail system and U-shaped flip up handle, it’s simple to operate and holds up season-after-season. The baffles adjust for edge control and the pneumatic tires handle uneven ground. This unit is not recommended for rock salt, sand or sand mixes. A spiked auger helps tear up clumps and keeps the ice melt moving freely. Made in the USA with global materials and backed by Chapin’s 2-year limited warranty.
