09 January 2018
A leading UK forklift attachment company is helping its clients tackle hazardous icy conditions.

Contact Attachments has been designing, manufacturing, and supplying its range of Salt Spreaders to clients for over four decades, helping them to prepare and remain operational during the freezing conditions.
Its towable Salt Spreader offers 190 litre capacity, is equipped with a tow ball hitch and dounut towing eye, and is suited for a diverse range of applications, including spreading salt during winter. The towable Salt Spreader is also compatible with a variety of vehicles including forklifts, ATVs and 4x4s.
A galvanised actuator offers protection against corrosion and rust, in addition to preventing the salt from clogging. The towable spreader is also fitted with a flow regulator level to control the amount of spread, as well as large pneumatic tyres for easy towing.
Contact Attachments also supplies the Walk Behind Spreader, which is suited for anyone responsible for health and safety in the workplace. In addition to being low-cost, the compact size of the Walk Behind Spreader enables any capable person to operate it, with durable pneumatic tyres, rain cover, and adjustable feed system all fitted as standard.
Dave Manuel, technical sales director at Contact Attachments explains: “Our range of towable and pedestrian-operated Salt Spreaders are easy to use and are a cost-effective way of ensuring pathways, walkways and access routes are free from ice and safe for use. They can both be used all-year round too, making them a product which offers great value for money.
“I’d encourage anyone who is dependent on maintaining an operational site during the winter months to consider putting management plans in place and prevent the weather disrupting daily routines. For more information, please get in touch on 01686 238019 or email [email protected],” Dave concluded.
