About SiteTote
Site Tote was developed to take snow and ice management to the next level by transitioning from the traditional reactive system of dispatching salt trucks to a more efficient prepared system of having materials on site, ready to go.
Material can be spread directly from the SiteTotes using the hydraulic spreader by Virnig.
SiteTote utilizes a standard skid loader quick-attach coupler.
