Wholesale rock salt, treated salt, brine and pallets for Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton contractors and property managers.
Allentown averages about 33.1 inches of snow a season (NOAA 1991–2020 normal) and about 88 freeze-thaw days a year in our count of NOAA data, among the highest of any eastern metro we studied.
The Lehigh Valley's warehouses and distribution centers along I-78 and Route 22, hospitals and campuses run around the clock and need clean docks and walks every refreeze.
Delivery covers Lehigh and Northampton counties, with pickup and storm-night loading available.
Every lot, sidewalk and loading dock you treat is somebody's walk to work, a delivery driver's path, a patient's ride to the clinic door. Ice control protects people first and property second. It's also how contractors and owners show they took reasonable care when a slip-and-fall claim shows up months later.
Ice on walks, steps and entrances is where falls happen. Getting material down before the freeze and keeping it working through the storm is the whole job.
A documented, timely application program is one of the strongest positions a contractor or property owner can be in when a claim is filed. Colored treated salt helps: you can see it was applied, and so can a photo.
The right material at the right rate protects concrete, landscaping, vehicles and buildings. Over-applying wastes money and does damage. Under-applying leaves ice.

Storms don't keep office hours. When a major event is forecast, loading hours stretch so contractors can refill spreaders and V-boxes at 2 a.m. instead of waiting until morning, when the lots are already glazed.
