Invicta Mini Towable Spreader – Effective Salt Distribution for Private Roads and Yards (IMG-4)
The Invicta Mini Towable Spreader is an efficient solution for salting private access roads and goods yards.

Its contact axle wheels and gearbox ensure precise and uniform salt distribution without the need for electrical or hydraulic connections. Ideal for maintaining safety on icy surfaces, this spreader ensures economical usage and reliable operation.
