Chapin’s 8201A, 80-pound residential poly salt spreader is made to handle winter conditions. Designed to hold up to 80 pounds of your preferred brand of ice melt or halite. It’s easy to set up with the flip-up, U-shaped handle, very little assembly required. Set the adjustable gate dial and baffles, grip the ergonomic handle, and start spreading. The spiked auger break ups chunks, minimizing clumps and the 12-inch pneumatic tires give you support over icy and uneven driveways and sidewalks. This unit is not recommended for rock salt, sand, lime or mixes. Made in the USA with global materials and backed by Chapin’s 2-year limited warranty.
- 80-pound poly hopper: weather-resistant, blue poly hopper holds up to 80 pounds of material; powder-coated steel frame and an enclosed gearbox to withstand the elements
- Made in the USA with global materials: designed and produced in the USA with US-based customer service and technical support, located at Chapin’s home base in Batavia, NY; backed by Chapin’s 2-year limited warranty
- Ergonomic, U-shaped handle: very little assembly needed with the flip-up, U-shaped handle, it simply flips up when removed from the box; comfortable to grip with gloves and push while spreading ice melt and salt products
- Adjustable settings: use the gate dial to change the gate opening based on the particulates; recommended for use with salt, halite, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride (small and pelletized particulates); use the baffles to direct where you spread your product
- Spiked auger: rugged, plastic spiked auger breaks up clumps so your preferred salt or ice melt can easily flows through the gate opening
- Tires and accessories: wide-tread, 12-inch pneumatic tires to move over icy ground; rain/snow cover included to keep the hopper protected while you’re working
- Note: not recommended for use with rock salt products, sand or sand mixes, pelletized lime, lime or lime powders
Applications: pretreat and de-ice solutions
