Grit Smarter, Walk Safer

Through innovative Glasdon design, which incorporates several key features and a focus on ensuring ease of maintenance, the Turbocast 400 Salt Spreader is the ultimate solution in the battle against ice...

◊ Durapol® Material Chassis/Hopper

Using our specially formulated Durapol material, the lightweight hopper and chassis boast high resistance to both corrosion and impact. As a result, the spreader requires minimal maintenance and offers a superior extended lifespan.


◊ 3-7m Grit Spread Width

The spinner plate spreads grit up to 7 metres wide. This allows for effective distribution in hard-to-reach areas, like underneath parked cars. Just modify your walking pace for precise application.


Turbocast 400 Hopper Lifting Off

◊ Detachable Lift-Off Hopper

A detachable, lift-off hopper provides easy access to the agitation and spinner mechanism. By simply removing two fixings and utilising the spring-loaded locking pins, the hopper can be effortlessly taken off.


◊ 50L Capacity

A generous 50-litre capacity means refilling the machine is required less often. In just one load, the gritter can spread an impressive 1,220 to 5000m2 (dependent on grit material and spread setting).


Turbocast 400 Spread Settings

◊ Six Spread Settings

With six levels of grit release across three ranges of dosage, users can manage output and minimise unnecessary waste. The spread can be shut off when moving between gritting locations to prevent wasting grit.


◊ 32kg Unladen Weight

The lightweight design, weighing only 32kg, allows for effortless handling and manoeuvring. This helps reduce fatigue and makes lifting and handling the machine much easier when empty.


Turbocast 400 Agitation Mechanism

◊ Enclosed Agitation Mechanism

To prevent salt clumping, the enclosure contains a specialised agitation mat made of corrosion-resistant rubber. This mat creates an oscillating ripple effect that breaks up grit and allows for a smooth flow through the gritter.


Comfortable Control

The Glasdon Turbocast 400 Spreader is designed to give you control over winter, whether you're a small business owner or part of a maintenance team.

In addition to its outstanding key features, the spreader's superior manoeuvrability sets it apart from other manual gritters on the market. With advanced ergonomic design and minimal steel components, optimal usability and comfort are ensured in both empty and loaded states.

For example, the large puncture-resistant solid tyres and unique rubber wheelbarrow-style handles contribute to seamless mobility, a practical turning circle and easy kerb mounting. Simultaneously, its slim structure and balanced weight allow it to navigate narrow spaces and effortlessly pass through doorways.
