Chapin Professional Salt / Halite / Ice Melt 100 lb Stainless Steel Push Spreader comes with many important features that will make applying ice melt this winter as simple as possible and can spread up to 100 lbs of salt and ice melt at a time. The push spreader's gears and links are made of solid steel and are enclosed in the machinery to better withstand all the changes of the environment, from the cold of winter to the heat of summer. The push spreader's large and elevated gate opens and closes in small steps, while the conical auger and baffle system agitate and spread the product, allowing it to flow smoothly and only go where you want it to go. Another of the spreader's best qualities is that its handle and hopper are made of stainless steel, which makes for sturdy construction that will last for a long time. The hopper is made out of a single piece of steel, without any welds and complete with rolled edges. The Chapin Professional Salt / Halite / Ice Melt 100 lb Stainless Steel Push Spreader also has 14" tires that can handle uneven terrain, making even the worst snowstorms easy to deal with. Made in USA.
