salt spreader

De-icing road vehicle

A salt spreader is a device that distributes salt or sand onto roads, walkways, or driveways to melt ice or improve traction in winter conditions.

They range from small hand-held or push models for residential use to large truck-mounted units for municipal snow removal: The city deployed salt spreaders before the storm hit.
