Choose a spreader for your school grounds
Start with the area you need to treat, the width of your paths, your storage space and whether you use brown road salt or free-flowing white salt. A compact hand spreader suits entrances and shorter routes; a larger hopper reduces refill stops around a bigger site.
Matterhorn 25kg Hand Salt Spreader
A compact choice for school paths and entrances. Wheel-driven operation needs no batteries or electrics, with an agitator to help maintain material flow.
£365 + VAT (£438 including VAT)
Mont Blanc 50kg Hand Salt Spreader
A heavy-duty option for larger playgrounds, paths and car parks. Its 50kg hopper reduces refill stops, while a large stainless steel auger helps break up damp or compacted salt and grit.
£895 + VAT (£1,074 including VAT)
Olympus 100kg Drop Salt Spreader
For school paths and pedestrian areas where precise salt placement matters. The Olympus drops material directly beneath the machine, helping limit sideways spread towards adjacent grass and planted borders. Its 100kg hopper reduces refill stops on longer routes, with adjustable material flow to suit conditions.
£935 + VAT (£1,122 including VAT)
Using damp brown road salt?
Damp salt can clump and bridge inside a hopper, interrupting the feed. The Mont Blanc's large auger helps tackle this material. Tell us what salt your school uses and how it is stored so we can recommend a suitable spreader. Material condition and grading affect performance.
Drop or broadcast spreading for your school?
A drop spreader such as the Olympus places salt beneath the machine for controlled treatment of defined paths and pedestrian routes. Broadcast models such as the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc spread material over a wider area, which can suit open playgrounds and car parks. Choose according to your route widths, salt type and the areas beside each route.
Larger schools and academy trusts
Need to cover extensive grounds or equip several schools? Ask us about larger pedestrian spreaders and towable options for suitable grounds-maintenance vehicles. We can provide a formal quotation and help confirm vehicle suitability, delivery requirements and the right mix of machines for each site.
