Winter weather can create serious challenges for businesses, schools, warehouses, factories, construction sites and commercial premises. Ice, snow and freezing conditions can make car parks, pathways, loading areas and entrances hazardous, increasing the risk of slips, falls and disruption to normal operations.
Preparing before temperatures fall is the best way to keep your premises accessible and your winter maintenance teams ready to respond.
Spilltek’s range of winter essentials includes de-icing salt, salt spreaders, grit bins, snow shovels and useful winter accessories, providing businesses with everything they need to prepare for icy conditions and snowfall.
De-Icing Salt for Commercial and Industrial Sites
De-icing salt is one of the simplest and most effective products for managing ice and helping prevent slippery surfaces during freezing weather.
Spilltek supplies de-icing salt in convenient 10kg, 15kg, 20kg and 25kg sizes, providing options for businesses of all sizes. For larger premises and organisations with substantial winter maintenance requirements, bulk bags of de-icing salt are also available.
Smaller bags are convenient for distributing around a site or keeping close to entrances and vulnerable areas, while bulk bags provide an economical solution for larger car parks, industrial estates, warehouses and extensive commercial premises.
Keeping sufficient stocks of salt available before cold weather arrives means maintenance teams can respond immediately when temperatures begin to fall.
Manual Salt Spreaders for Fast, Even Coverage
Spreading salt by hand can be time-consuming and may result in uneven coverage or unnecessary product being used.
Spilltek’s range of manual salt spreaders provides a faster and more controlled way of applying de-icing salt across paths, entrances, yards and other areas.
These easy-to-use spreaders are particularly useful for smaller areas where accurate salt distribution is required. Their portable design makes them ideal for facilities teams responsible for treating multiple entrances and walkways around a site.
Towable Salt Spreaders for Larger Areas
For larger premises, towable salt spreaders provide an efficient solution for covering more ground.
Ideal for car parks, access roads, industrial yards, loading areas and larger pedestrian routes, pull-along spreaders allow de-icing salt to be distributed quickly and consistently.
Having the right spreading equipment available can help businesses treat vulnerable surfaces more efficiently, making winter maintenance less labour-intensive while helping avoid excessive use of salt.
Fixed Grit Bins – Salt Where You Need It
One of the keys to an effective winter maintenance plan is ensuring de-icing salt is readily available in the areas where it is most likely to be required.
Fixed grit bins provide a convenient storage point for salt and grit throughout the winter months. They can be strategically positioned near entrances, car parks, loading bays, pedestrian routes, ramps and other areas that are particularly vulnerable to ice.
Their highly visible design also makes it easy for employees and maintenance teams to identify where winter supplies are stored.
Portable Grit Bins for Greater Flexibility
Not every workplace requires a permanently positioned grit bin. For businesses that need greater flexibility, portable grit bins provide a practical alternative.
Portable units can be moved to different areas as requirements change, making them useful for construction sites, maintenance teams, temporary workplaces and premises where winter hazards may develop in different locations.
Combined with suitable quantities of de-icing salt, they provide a convenient mobile winter maintenance solution.
Snow Shovels & Winter Accessories
Heavy snowfall can quickly block entrances, paths and access routes, making it difficult for employees, visitors and vehicles to move safely around a site.
Spilltek’s range of snow shovels and winter accessories helps businesses clear snow and maintain access during periods of severe weather.
Snow shovels should be positioned alongside other winter maintenance equipment so they can be accessed quickly when required. Clearing accumulated snow before treating surfaces with de-icing salt can provide a more effective approach to restoring access around a workplace.
Keep Car Parks, Paths and Entrances Accessible
Winter maintenance isn’t simply about dealing with snow. Ice can develop overnight with little warning and may be difficult to see, particularly in shaded areas or during the early morning.
Particular attention should be given to areas such as building entrances, pedestrian paths, steps, ramps, car parks, loading bays, yards and frequently used access routes.
Businesses should identify higher-risk areas in advance and establish a winter maintenance plan covering where salt will be stored, which surfaces require treatment and who is responsible for carrying out the work.
Don’t Wait for the First Frost
Demand for winter maintenance products naturally increases when freezing conditions and snow are forecast. Waiting until the first severe cold spell can leave businesses without the equipment and supplies they need.
Preparing early allows businesses to build suitable stocks of de-icing salt, grit bins, spreaders and snow-clearing equipment before winter conditions arrive.
Equipment should also be checked periodically throughout the season, with salt stocks replenished when necessary.
