Salt Management

One of the largest costs for winter fleets is salt spread on snowy roads. While critical for the safety of drivers, these materials are a significant cost to Departments of Public Works, Departments of Transportation, or Roads Departments. You can reduce material costs up to 20% using our InterFleet solution to monitor environmental conditions and automatically adjust the amount of salt spread on the road. InterFleet works with the widest variety of salt spreaders, making it easy to implement in your winter fleet.

While salt is still one of the best materials for improving traction on roads during the winter, it has environmental consequences. The chlorine in salt eventually makes its way into natural waterways, impacting wildlife, and salt runoff can potentially seep into groundwater. Reducing the amount of salt spread is good for the environment and fits well with municipal, provincial, and state environmental efforts. 

“Installing GPS technology in our salt spreader vehicles is a great way to help us reduce the amount of road salt we use and reduce costs at the same time,” Mayor Larry O’Brien, City of Ottawa
