Rittenhouse Gears Up For Winter With the Improved Salt Spreader

Landscape professional and property owners alike will appreciate the rugged and durable construction of this improved salt spreader.

(PRWEB) September 14, 2006 -- Rittenhouse is proud to introduce the redesigned and improved Salt Dogg for the 2007 season—available in November 2006. The Salt Dogg is specifically designed for spreading salt, including rock salt.

The new Salt Dogg features improvements such as stainless steel gears, a modified handle design with more comfortable handgrips, a four-way deflector, a new screen design with larger openings, and a durable rain cover. Still easy to assemble, the improved Salt Dogg will be available with either a carbon steel frame or a stainless steel frame.

One of the most important modifications is the introduction of the four-way deflector. The four-way deflector allows for the accurate distribution of salt and ice melt. This means that salt is deposited where it is intended on the first pass, saving time and minimizing waste. Since the Salt Dogg now has larger openings, rock salt can easily be applied without clogging the spreader.

Landscape Professionals and property owners alike will appreciate using a fertilizer-spreader-style applicator for salt or ice melting compound. This type of salt spreader had not been available until the introduction of the original Salt Dogg last season, and the new improvements promise to make the Salt Dogg an even more effective property management tool.

Property managers will especially appreciate the Salt Dogg because it can fit into tight areas where heavy equipment cannot. Homeowners will be able to apply salt to walkways and driveways with ease.

Rittenhouse expects, based on the popularity of last year’s Salt Dogg that sales will continue to increase over the 2007 season.

After 92 years, Rittenhouse is proud to continue our tradition of bringing the most innovative products to our customers.
