When you’re procuring equipment for liquid deicing, you can’t take any chances. When using it, you’re on a tight timeline in freezing temperatures and you need to perform. Here are some things to make sure of when deciding on equipment for de-icing.

## **Liquid Application Equipment**

### **1) Simplicity & Timeliness:**

- **Simple Design:** The less complicated the design and operation is, then less training is required to operate it. This will help you be more efficient and minimize breakdowns on the job.![1.-Simple-design](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1.-Simple-design.jpg?width=710&name=1.-Simple-design.jpg)
- **Name brand components:** Having equipment with premium name brand components will increase the likelihood that they are available locally for timeliness when you need replacements.![1.-name-brand](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1.-name-brand.jpg?width=710&name=1.-name-brand.jpg)
- **Fast fill system:** Having a quick way to hook up and fill your tank in minimal time will no-doubt increase your efficiency.![1.-fast-fill](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1.-fast-fill.jpg?width=710&name=1.-fast-fill.jpg)

### **2) Longevity**

- **Corrosion free:** Using corrosion free components like stainless steel & poly makes the unit last longer and stay cleaner.![2.-corrosion-free](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2.-corrosion-free.jpg?width=710&name=2.-corrosion-free.jpg)

### **3) User Experience: Ease of use for providing quick service**

- **Easily adjustable boom mount:** Having a boom mount that is quickly adjustable to the exact height you desire gives you more control of your application.![3.-easy-adjust-boom](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3.-easy-adjust-boom.jpg?width=710&name=3.-easy-adjust-boom.jpg)
- **Fork points:** The ability to easily move your unit with forks is a must have. This will save you much time and energy.![3.-fork-points](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3.-fork-points.jpg?width=710&name=3.-fork-points.jpg)
- **Fully drain-able tank:** Having a sump bottom or fully drainable tank is essential for completely draining your tank during seasonal storage or if you need to switch out the liquid.![3.-fully-drainable](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3.-fully-drainable.jpg?width=710&name=3.-fully-drainable.jpg)
- **In-cab controls:** Having a solenoid control kit running into your cab is essential to stay comfortable and in top performance during those cold hours on the job.![3.-in-cab-controls](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3.-in-cab-controls.jpg?width=710&name=3.-in-cab-controls.jpg)
- **Side output port:** An output port to easily fill a sidewalk sprayer makes life simple and easy.![3.-side-output-port](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3.-side-output-port.jpg?width=710&name=3.-side-output-port.jpg)

### **4) Consistent Application**

- **Pump Filtration:** A quality inline filter mounted to the suction side of the pump will avoid nozzle plugging & inconsistent spray patterns.![4.-pum-filtration](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4.-pum-filtration.jpg?width=710&name=4.-pum-filtration.jpg)

**5) Safety**

- **Hi-vis:** A bright or highly visible unit will maintain safety.![5.-hi-vis](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/5.-hi-vis.jpg?width=710&name=5.-hi-vis.jpg)
- **Surge control:** Baffle balls will majorly increase the stabilization of the vehicle and make it transport like a fixed load. ![5.-surge-control](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/5.-surge-control.jpg?width=710&name=5.-surge-control.jpg)

 

## **Liquid Storage Equipment**

### **1) Longevity**

- **Corrode Proof Material:** Stainless fittings & tank material will keep your tank corrode proof, increasing the safety and longevity of your storage.![01-corrosion-free](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/01-corrosion-free.jpg?width=710&name=01-corrosion-free.jpg)
- **10-Year Warranty:** It's simple. Get an awesome warranty. At Ice Master Systems all tanks come with a whopping 10 year warranty (free of charge).![1.-Ten-year-warranty](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1.-Ten-year-warranty.jpg?width=710&name=1.-Ten-year-warranty.jpg)

### **2) Safety**

- **Robust Structure:** With design like the Strong-X™ roof & Ribbed Wall™ tank walls you know you're safe storing liquid brine with no worries.![2.-Robust-Structure](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2.-Robust-Structure.jpg?width=710&name=2.-Robust-Structure.jpg)

### **3) Ease of Use**

- **Fully drain-able tank:** Definitely get a tank with a sump bottom so you can fully drain and clean your storage tanks. ![3-full-drain](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3-full-drain.jpg?width=710&name=3-full-drain.jpg)
- **Light colored tank:** A lighter tank will give you the ability to easily see the liquid level in your tank without having to check through the lid. Quick and easy.![3.-light-coloured-tank](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3.-light-coloured-tank.jpg?width=710&name=3.-light-coloured-tank.jpg)
- **Lifting lugs:** Having lifting points on the top of your tank makes it much easier when you are installing your storage tanks.![3.-Lifting-Lugs](https://blog.enduraplas.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3.-Lifting-Lugs.jpg?width=710&name=3.-Lifting-Lugs.jpg)
