FREE DELIVERY!
This full pallet of x40 25kg bags of brown rock salt will be delivered on a tail lift vehicle (with pallet truck), therefore no unloading equipment is required at the delivery address.
Brown rock salt is used for winter maintenance gritting and will ensure that high footfall areas are clear of snow and ice. It works by lowering the freezing point of the surface it is applied to help prevent ice forming.
Our rock salt meets BS 3247 which is the British standard for de-icing salt. Our salt is the same quality as used by councils, local authorities and Highways England.
Our 25kg bags of brown rock salt include sand and dirt particles to help the salt stick to the surface and to increase the levels of traction.
The rock salt is treated with an anti-caking agent which makes the salt free-flowing and suitable for use in salt spreaders. It also helps to prevent the salt from solidifying during long term storage.
Brown (pink) salt is best suited for spreading across large areas such as open public spaces and is a more cost-effective option in large volumes.
Delivery Restrictions - Important
Please make sure you let us know of any delivery restrictions (weak bridges, narrow lanes, low bridges etc) when you place your order. By doing this, we can then make sure that your delivery of rock salt is delivered on a suitable vehicle. Failure to notify us of any such restrictions may result in a surcharge and possible delay of delivery.
Due to the size and weight of the delivery lorries (potentially weighing up to 44 tonnes), we require that you confirm that the area which you require the delivery to be to is flat and that the ground is stable and able to handle the weight of the vehicle. We cannot deliver on sloping ground, as the tail lift must be able to lay flat on the ground.
Please note that all products are delivered to the kerbside by a tail lift lorry, and our couriers are unable to deliver to a specific location on your property. All aggregates will require a signature upon delivery.
