Built tough for professionals to handle heavy rock salt. Chapin's 8500B 200-pound stainless-steel, professional rock salt drop spreader has a large one-piece hopper with rolled edges, a rugged stainless-steel frame, solid linkage for full gate control, chain-driven agitators to minimize clumping and improve product flow, and 14-inch pneumatic tires to cover just about any terrain. This unit not recommended for sand and sand mixes. Backed by Chapin’s limited-lifetime warranty.
- 36-inch deep drawn stainless-steel hopper (seamless with no welds): holds up to 200 pounds of heavy, large particle rock salt; discharge holes located behind wheels
- Professional use: stainless-steel frame and hardware; t-handle with rubber grips; enclosed metal gears with grease fitting; split axel drive train
- Designed in the USA with US-based customer service and technical support; backed by Chapin’s limited-lifetime warranty
- Gate control: independent left and right solid linkage gate controls and adjustable gate lever
- Dual grinder agitator: breaks up clumps so inconsistent rock salt can flow through the gate opening
- Recommended for large particulates, inconsistent in size like rock salt and ice melt; can also spread small and pelletized particulates like ice melt, halite, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride
- Tires and accessories: 14-inch pneumatic, wide-tread tires move over uneven ground
- Note: not recommended for use with sand or sand mixes, lime, pelletized lime, and lime mixes
Applications: Rock Salt, Ice Melt
Documents & Support
IMPROPER USE OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE OR INJURIES. FOR SAFE USE OF THIS PRODUCT YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
NOTE: Regardless of the material used, spreaders should be cleaned out after every use to ensure a lifetime of service. Some materials are much more aggressive oxidizers than others. Magnesium chloride will rust any stainless or mild steel materials in wet conditions in a matter of days. Calcium chloride is less aggressive but will rust stainless or mild steel in a matter of weeks. The ice melting chlorides are normally used when temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit or in ‘pet safe’ or ‘environmentally friendly’ ice melt products. Regular rock salt or calcium will take a couple of months to cause rust. This is why it is important to wash out after each and every use.
