A NEW Salt Spreader

What happens here

The video highlights how the Arctic Double Down enables contractors to manage properties that might otherwise be unprofitable due to high equipment and labor costs. By using existing skid steers or compact loaders with the Double Down, businesses can take on more jobs without the upfront investment of a dedicated salt truck or the need for additional licensed drivers. The presenter emphasizes doing 'more with less' in an era of rising costs and inflation, making it a crucial tool for expanding service areas and maximizing existing resources.

Goal: Understand how the Double Down improves cost-effectiveness and operational flexibility.

Tools and materials

  • Arctic Double Down Salt Bucket Arctic — Enabling cost-effective salting with existing machinery
  • Skid Steer/Compact Loader Unspecified — Existing heavy equipment to operate the salt bucket

going to buy this and I look at it more of like a reduction and like just a purchase price I wouldn't say it's like a savings but yeah they're I believe it's roughly 30% less expensive over the the Double Down plus over you know your uh galvanized uh double down yep it's going to be I think it's about 30% okay less but you guys got to also realize that this replaces a pickup truck yes it does so the biggest thing why we made the double down and I've told this to people is that we don't make products to sell them we make products that we need to use in our own snow service business so we wanted to be able to bid on properties that were outside of our normal service area like for example there's a rail yard in Ohio that we service and I can't justify putting $150,000 salt truck on that property for it to salt that one property so we we needed was to be able to salt with the equipment that was on site already which is what double down allows us to do we keep uh one one yard unit out there and one three yard unit so we can solve with a skid steer we can Sol with a loader out there at a fraction of the cost up front investment to take that property on I don't need a pickup truck I don't need insurance I don't need the same I don't need a guy with a a clean CDL license I don't need those things I mean yeah I still need insurance but it's everything about getting that job done cost less and I can utilize what I already have which in the industry right now is very crucial because we're having to do more with less just as rising costs everything else is going on everyone's well aware of inflation so how do we do more with what we already have and that's really where the double down really shines and being able to service out of network properties now is there anybody else doing anything like
