Gritters

Dependent on the forecast weather conditions, up to 122 gritters are deployed to provide precautionary salt treatments to trunk roads. To patrol and provide additional salt treatments, a further 51 gritters are routinely deployed as required.

The winter fleet for trunk roads has a total of 208 vehicles available for spreading salt and ploughing. The remaining gritters are available to provide support to the frontline and patrol vehicles, as well as to cover breakdowns and essential maintenance.

When severe wintry weather is affecting the whole country, all available vehicles are deployed. The maximum number of gritters that will be counted within the planned treatment information on this page is 173.
