WINTER MAINTENANCE
GET USED TO GRIT
As the frost begins to bite, estates professionals begin to look for a road surface safety solution that’s simple, affordable and adaptable. Steve Sinnott, Sales Manager at Econ Engineering, explains why gritter sprayers are one such solution.

Use your everyday vehicle all year round
Crucially, the trailer system offers increased versatility compared to a dedicated vehicle. With a trailer sprayer, the tow vehicle can be used for duties such as landscape gardening and transporting materials during the day.
