Frequently Asked Questions About Logistics Centres Gritting
To help our clients better understand our commercial gritting services, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions. This section aims to provide clear and concise answers to common queries about our operations, service areas, and the benefits of keeping your business premises free of ice and snow.
Gritting should be performed whenever there is a risk of ice or snow, typically based on weather forecasts. For high-traffic logistics centres, it may be necessary to grit more frequently, especially during severe or prolonged cold spells, to maintain safe and operational conditions.
When done correctly, gritting is generally safe and does not damage vehicles or other equipment. The grit used is designed to melt ice without harming surfaces. However, regular maintenance and cleaning of equipment are recommended to prevent grit build-up.
Gritting ensures that roads, loading bays, and walkways remain ice-free, reducing the risk of accidents or vehicles getting stuck. This keeps the movement of goods smooth and uninterrupted, allowing logistics operations to run efficiently, even during harsh winter conditions.

our decision making process
At our company, we make careful decisions to ensure effective gritting and snow clearing. We closely monitor weather forecasts and road surface temperatures in your area. When temperatures drop below zero, we promptly spread grit and salt to keep roads safe.
Weather Predicting
Using an elaborate weather forecast, we monitor road surface temperatures closely in your area. If this falls below zero, then we will arrange to spread grit and salt.
All Basis Covered
Fitted on our gritters are PDAs and GPS trackers which provide us with a timestamp and date while on site.
Information concerning the site's access, weather and ground conditions are recorded upon arrival; if any area is not gritted (for instance, parked vehicles in the way), data is also recorded.
Constant Communication
In the afternoon, generally around 4PM, we send an email notifying you that gritting will be carried out that night. Snow clearing is usually done early in the morning before your indicated time and overnight.
Evidence Provided
Upon the completion of the job, a completed job card is instantly sent to your e-mail.
This information is crucial since it is evidence that the gritting timings and treatments were done if a trip, slip, or an accident takes place. A photo of the site will also be provided.
