Meyer Dealer JTI Stays Loyal to the Hometown Favorite

Like Meyer, its dealer partner, JTI, Inc., celebrates a long history. John's Trailer Company was the precursor to the present JTI, Inc.

Dual-liquid spreaders enable more economical operations

In winter road maintenance, it is often necessary to treat particularly critical areas, such as bridges or steep and sloping stretches, with specially deployed spray vehicles or with stationary de-icing agent spraying systems. This approach incurs additional costs because of the special vehicles, routes or equipment. In Vienna, however, it has been shown that there is another way. We wanted to know how and spoke to engineer Dr. Peter Nutz, Head of Planning and Winter Maintenance at Municipal Department 48.

Saving resources and money by also using spreaders in summer: the Tyrolean state government is leading the way

The state of Tyrol is responsible for a total of 2,236 km of road network, with the state roads lying at 470 to over 2,000 metres above sea level. The state authorities have been utilising salt and brine for their winter services since 2017. To do this, they use a Schmidt Stratos Combi Soliq Flex, a combined machine that spreads or sprays with abrasive agents, dry salt or wet salt containing the required proportion of brine. They have recently started using ‘the spreader’ in summer as well.

Winter Road Maintenance at 2200 Meters above Sea level – New Aebi VT450 Vario for Corbeyrier

It has one of the most extensive work areas – at least as this concerned the height difference. The new Aebi VT450 Vario for the Commune de Corbeyrier in Switzerland will ensure snowy and ice-free roads. The streets of the municipality extends from 500 up to 2205 meters above sea level. The entrance roads to and from Corbeyrier, which is located on 1000 meters of altitude, are correspondingly challenging and steep. So the municipality was looking for a powerful and reliable partner, which can also be used beyond the winter service. So the decision was taken: an Aebi VT450 Vario should become a new “team member” in Corbeyrier. Mid of July, the transporter was handed over to the community together with Aebi dealer Jean-Marc Ries from Garage Ries Sàrl.
