Our Equipment

Focusing On Safety & Accessibility

At Ice Road Gritters, our focus is on ensuring the safety, accessibility for both businesses and private properties during the challenging winter months. Our services are customised to suit the specific needs of each client. 

From roads and footpaths to car parks and outdoor spaces, our services cover a wide range of areas to guarantee safety and accessibility for your business.  

Throughout the entirety of the gritting season, our fleet remains prepared and ready for action each day.

Gritters

Our Gritters are equipped with machines that evenly spreads grit over the surface, with in-cab control units that allow our operators to evenly distribute salt, creating a layer that lowers the freezing point of water and helps to prevent ice from forming or melting existing ice and snow. The grit improves traction and reduces the risk of accidents caused by slippery surfaces.

We also use hand-push gritters for hard-to-reach spots like footpaths, steps, and forecourts. Our dedication to enhancing safety extends to spaces of all sizes, exemplifying our determination to safeguard your premises.

Snow Ploughs

Our Snow ploughs are specialised tools or attachments crafted for the purpose of removing snow and ice from surfaces like roads, car parks and other areas. Our snow clearing services consist of vehicle and tractor mounted snow ploughs, enabling us to respond promptly to your site’s needs. These ploughs are securely fastened and equipped with thorough spring-back mechanisms to ensure surface protection. With the capacity to address substantial areas, they are adeptly and effectively clear even the most formidable snowy conditions.

Salt Supply

Our carefully selected salt options effectively combat ice and snow, making roads and surfaces safer. We prioritise high-quality white salt for its exceptional performance and cleanliness. Additionally, brown salt for enhanced traction, improving grip on slopes and for vehicles. Our products work swiftly, ensuring immediate relief from icy conditions on a variety of surfaces. At Ice Road Gritters, we balance both worlds by primarily using white salt as our main de-icing agent. Depending on weather conditions and specific site requirements, we may blend white and brown salt to optimise the benefits of each type, delivering the best results for our clients.

Weather Monitoring

We use an area-specific weather forecasting to acquire the most precise forecast for your site. We closely monitor weather forecasts to anticipate upcoming changes. Each location is unique, and our weather monitoring system allows us to tailor our approach to the specific conditions of your area.

Vehicle Tracking

Every single one of our vehicles is equipped with advanced GPS tracking technology. As a job is successfully completed, our system triggers an automatic email containing a ‘service notification’. This procedure assures that you receive notifications regarding the completion of services, keeping you informed and confident that your site has been serviced.
