About SiteTote
Revolutionizing snow and ice management, SiteTote offers a more efficient, prepared system by having materials readily available on site. Unlike traditional reactive systems that rely on dispatching salt trucks, SiteTote allows you to be proactive. Material is spread directly from the SiteTote using the powerful hydraulic Virnig salt spreader. This skid loader spreader seamlessly connects to your equipment with a standard quick-attach coupler, ensuring you're always ready for the next storm.

Reduce Labor Costs
Stop paying valuable staff to drive trucks during snow and ice events. By using the SiteTote system with a skid loader spreader, you can utilize your existing plowing staff for salting, minimizing the number of employees you need to hire for winter operations.
Expand & Maximize Your Labor Force
- Expand Your Labor Force
- With SiteTote, you can qualify more employees to assist your snow operations by hiring staff who live close to service locations instead of only hiring those near your main shop.
- Maximize Staff Efficiency
- Increase efficiency by partnering with a local supplier to exchange or refill your SiteTote units between snow and ice events. This allows you to manage materials at your convenience, when the pressure is off. You can also use the Virnig salt spreader to refill your on-site units, ensuring you're always prepared.
Reduce Fuel Costs
Eliminate costly salt truck routes and save on fuel. With SiteTote, your staff can stay focused on maintaining job sites during snow and ice events, rather than driving salt around in trucks. The ability to use the Virnig skid loader spreader directly on site makes this efficiency possible.
Reduce Operations Costs
Unlike a truck that has to return to a salt shed to empty unused material after each event, SiteTote units can be moved or refilled at your convenience, eliminating the wasteful movement of salt trucks. The skid loader spreader makes this process quick and easy.
- Improve Response Times
- Allow staff to report directly to the job site, improving response times. You can assign employees to job sites near their respective residences, which is made simple with the decentralized SiteTote system.
- Reduce Insurance Costs
- Employees with unfavorable driving records or DUI histories can report for work directly at the job site and don't need to operate plow trucks. The on-site availability of the Virnig salt spreader eliminates the need to list them as commercial drivers on insurance.
- Expand Your Service Area and Throw Away Geographic Limits
- With the SiteTote system, equipment and salt stay on the job site, prepared for the next storm before it even begins. You can hire staff who live near job sites, expanding your service area and throwing away geographic limits.
- Seamlessly Add Customers Quickly & Efficiently
- The Virnig salt spreader allows for quick adaptation to customers who sign on late or mid-season. There's no need to build an expensive new truck or amend routes at the last minute.
Easy to Use Equipment
- SiteTotes offer a low fill height and can be filled with a standard skid loader bucket, from a large V-box spreader with a swing-away or removable chute, or from a medium-duty dump truck.
- You can manage material usage by using the age-old unit of measure, giving staff SiteTote budgets per application. There are no fancy, high-maintenance, or expensive electronic devices that go out of calibration and require replacement.
- The low, dual variable-speed spinners of the Virnig salt spreader offer an even spread and can cast material under parked vehicles and trailers.
- You can switch between specified products on-site by stocking different SiteTotes with the required materials, all while using the same skid loader spreader. This is ideal for various surfaces, from parking structures to brick pavers to general driving areas.
- The compact Virnig skid loader spreader allows you to maneuver down tight aisles, between parked vehicles, and into hard-to-reach areas.
- You can switch between plowing and spreading as needed without having to call in or wait for a truck.
Environmentally Friendly
- The Virnig salt spreader system utilizes a best-practices approach to storing products on-site.
- No more unsightly, dangerous, or hard-to-use tarps draped over on-site salt piles.
- The SiteTote also eliminates the need for hideous on-site salt bins.
Low Operation and Maintenance Costs
- The Virnig salt spreader operates solely off the standard hydraulic auxiliary couplers of a skid loader or compact wheel loader.
- There is no wiring or cab controller required, so any machine can operate the skid loader spreader at any time.
Large Capacity Units
- Each SiteTote has a capacity of 1,600 pounds, or 0.8 tons, of rock salt.
- A single Virnig salt spreader (SiteTote) at a recommended average application rate of 7 lbs/1,000 sq ft, will cover approximately 228,000 sq ft or 5.2 acres.
