Kirk you stated that a side dump skid steer bucket would fill your spreaders. So you must have a skid steer already.
Well we deliver salt all of the time with our belt trailer. If the door is 12 ft. tall we can back in a dump right it the building. IF you already have a garage that has shorter doors then just have the salt delivered and dumped right out side the door. Then just carry it inside with your skid steer loader.
We had two different schools that do it that way. They have older garages that just have 7-8 ft. tall doors. They just have gotten concrete "T" walls that they put along the outside garage walls so the salt pile does not push against the wood walls. Simple cheap salt storage.
Also remember that salt is real dense. It does not take that large of a place to store several hundred ton of salt. A skid steer bucket that would hold a 1000 LBS of gravel will hold almost 2000 LBS of salt.
Also look into getting the treated salt. It will look green or light blue. This treatment makes it more Eco friendly. It is supposed to work better and not hurt the grass and plants as much.
Where are you located at??? We haul in IA, IL, and WI.
I just hauled a load of regular salt to Waukon, Iowa today.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
