A change in the weather can quickly change the working day. Frosty entrances, snow-covered paths and icy yards all create extra jobs before normal business can begin.
Preparing early means checking your supplies, organising equipment and making sure the products you need are close at hand. From de-icing salt and grit bins to snow clearance tools, The Winter Product Guide from MacGregor Industrial Supplies brings together practical essentials to help keep your business moving.
De-icing salt is a useful starting point when reviewing winter supplies for entrances, pedestrian routes and outdoor working areas.
Our range includes 25 kg De-icing Salt DEI0025, listed as suitable for spreaders, and 25 kg Brown Rock Salt BS0025. Both feature in our winter safety selection, giving you options to consider when planning supplies for your premises.
Think about the areas you manage, how frequently you expect to treat them and where the salt will be stored. Ordering ahead also gives you time to check that your chosen salt is compatible with your spreading equipment.

Having salt on site is only part of the preparation. It also needs to be accessible when staff need it.
The Medium 200 Litre Grit Bin, listed with a 250 kg capacity, is an option to consider when organising a dedicated point for winter supplies. Review its position around your premises so it is convenient to reach without obstructing access.
For larger sites, consider whether more than one storage point would make the winter routine easier to manage. Include regular stock checks so supplies can be replenished before they run low.

A narrow entrance and an open yard present different clearance tasks. Review the space you need to manage before choosing your equipment.
Our planned winter selection includes snow shovels, the Artic snow pusher and a snow mover, alongside salt spreading equipment. These products give you a starting point for organising tools around different areas of your premises.
Check your existing equipment before the first snowfall. Worn or damaged tools are easier to replace while you are planning ahead than when the morning’s work is already waiting.
Early starts can also mean time spent clearing vehicle windscreens before leaving for work or making deliveries.
Our winter campaign includes ice scrapers, magnetic frost windscreen covers and the Polyguard -20 screenwash range. Add these everyday vehicle essentials to your winter purchasing list and check the individual instructions before use, including any screenwash dilution requirements.
Start with de-icing salt, suitable spreading equipment, snow clearance tools and a convenient place to keep supplies. Then review vehicle essentials and the needs of individual areas around your premises.
