Abstract
It doesn’t matter if our salt spreaders are new or old, electronic or manual, liquid or granular— they all need to be calibrated. Annual calibration of salt spreaders is an important part of your fleet maintenance, winter maintenance, and MS4 compliance program. Representatives from the Department of Public Works of Farmington Hills, Michigan, will present on calibration of manual and computerized controls for winter maintenance best practices. Topics include granular and liquid calibration as well as using this practice as a tool in conjunction with AVL.
