SPREADER LOADING

WARNING – Do not overload vehicle. Use chart below to calculate weight of material. Weights of material are an average for dry

materials.

Material Weight Per Cubic Ft.

Rock Salt 80-90 lbs.

Sand/Salt Mix 95-120 lbs.

• Warning – Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up.

When spreading sand mix, a 1:1 ratio for Sand/Salt mix is recommended to prevent the material from freezing.
