Winter supply
Bulk road salt & ice melt on Long Island
Rock salt by the ton or the bag, Peladow calcium chloride for extreme cold, magnesium pellets for sensitive surfaces, and walk-behind spreaders. Staged before the storm, not after it.
Short answer
A one-acre parking lot typically needs 200–400 lbs of rock salt per event. Rock salt works down to about 15–20°F; below that, switch to or blend in calcium or magnesium chloride. Omni supplies all three, bulk or bagged, for pickup or Long Island delivery.
Sold by weight: most winter products are sold by weight, so any online calculation is only an estimate until the load is weighed on its way out for delivery.
