Do not overload vehicle. Use chart below to calculate weight of material. Weights of material are an average for
dry materials.

Rock Salt 75-85 lbs.
Sand/Salt Mix 95-120 lbs.
• Be sure to comply with manufacturer’s maximum gross vehicle weight ratings.
• Warning – Never leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric
moisture and harden up. When spreading sand mix, a 1:1 ratio for Sand/Salt mix is recommended to prevent the material
from freezing.
