RAUCH’s winter service disc spreaders are synonymous with precise and reliable spreading technology for professional winter maintenance. As high-performance salt spreaders, they ensure the even and efficient application of salt, grit and sand – even in challenging weather conditions.
Thanks to the proven disc spreading system, the spreading material is distributed optimally and metered precisely. This ensures high spreading quality, reduces material consumption and enables cost-effective winter maintenance on roads, paths and large areas.
The RAUCH winter service disc spreaders comprise various series for different areas of application. The AXEO spreaders offer flexible solutions for small to medium-sized areas, whilst the TAXON spreaders are designed for professional applications requiring high performance. The range is complemented by the compact SA spreaders, which are particularly suitable for confined spaces.

Who are RAUCH’s winter service disc spreaders suitable for?
RAUCH winter service disc spreaders are designed for local authorities, service providers and agricultural businesses that need to operate reliably and efficiently in winter. Precise metering is crucial, particularly in changing weather conditions, to ensure targeted application of gritting materials whilst saving costs.
Thanks to a range of sizes and equipment options, the spreaders can be optimally adapted to various applications – from footpaths to larger traffic areas.
Advantages of disc spreaders in winter maintenance
Disc spreaders offer significant advantages in winter maintenance. The rotating spreading discs ensure that the grit is distributed evenly and applied with precision. This enables high-quality spreading and reduces spillage.
In addition, the simple and robust design ensures high reliability even in difficult winter conditions. Modern control systems also allow the spread rate to be precisely adjusted to the driving speed and the specific operational requirements.
An overview of winter service windscreen gritters
AXEO spreaders
Compact and versatile winter service disc spreaders for flexible use with high precision – ideal for pavements, car parks and smaller roads.
TAXON spreaders
High-performance disc spreaders for professional winter maintenance with large capacity and high coverage.
SA spreaders
Compact disc spreaders for smaller areas and confined spaces, featuring simple operation and precise spread width control.
Which winter gritting spreader is right for my needs?
Choosing the right winter maintenance spreader depends primarily on the area of application, the spreading width and the desired control system. Whilst compact spreaders are designed for confined spaces, more powerful systems with electronic metering and variable spreading widths are used on roads and larger areas. The decisive factor here is not only the size of the spreader, but also how precisely the spread rate and pattern can be adapted to changing conditions.
What are the differences between the types of spreaders?
Winter service spreaders differ primarily in their spreading technology. Disc spreaders actively distribute the spreading material via a spreading disc and allow for variable spreading widths. Box spreaders deposit the material directly and are particularly suitable for narrow areas of application.
When is a compact spreader the right choice?
Compact spreaders are ideal for pavements, smaller areas or narrow working areas where flexible adjustment of the spreading width is required.
When is a professional winter service spreader with more advanced technology worthwhile?
For larger areas or changing operating conditions, spreaders with electronic controls are advisable. Systems such as speed-dependent metering or section control ensure that the application rate remains constant – regardless of the driving speed.
How does modern gritting technology work in winter maintenance?
How is the spread rate adjusted to the driving speed?
Modern winter maintenance spreaders use speed-dependent metering. This automatically adjusts the application rate to the driving speed, ensuring that the spread rate per square metre remains constant.
What are the benefits of section control in winter maintenance?
Systems such as VariSpread allow the spreading width to be adjusted on one side whilst driving. At the same time, the spread rate is automatically adjusted to the reduced working width. This helps to avoid over-spreading and ensures that the spreading material is applied precisely where needed.
How is a uniform material flow ensured?
A consistent material flow is achieved through the interaction of the agitator, hopper geometry and metering system. Specially designed agitators ensure that even damp or uneven spreading material flows reliably.
Why is precise spreading technology important from an economic perspective?
A precisely controlled application rate reduces material wastage and ensures that only as much material is used as is necessary. This reduces costs whilst also protecting the environment.
SA, AXEO or box spreader – which is the right choice?
The choice of a winter maintenance spreader depends on how flexible and precise the spreading needs to be. Different spreader systems have different technical features and are designed for different applications.
When is an SA spreader the right choice?
An SA is ideal for compact applications with mechanical adjustment and a flexible spreading width. It is particularly suitable for smaller areas and applications where simple and direct operation is a priority.
When is an AXEO the better choice?
An AXEO is the right choice when spread rate and spread width need to be actively controlled. Electronic metering, section control and remote control enable significantly more precise and efficient spreading – particularly on larger areas.
When is a box spreader the best option?
A box spreader is suitable when the spreading material needs to be deposited precisely, for example on pavements or in sensitive areas without any loss of material.
