Spinner Storage
Submitted by: Jimmy Baker (LaPorte District) & Dough Naylor (Seymour District)
This INDOT innovation improves how salt truck spinners are stored by replacing outdoor piles with organized storage racks. Spinners left on the ground often rust and wear out quickly, which increases maintenance needs and shortens their lifespan. The new storage racks keep spinners off the ground and out of the elements, making them easier to maintain and helping them last longer.
This simple upgrade reduces equipment damage, saves time, and supports more reliable winter operations.
