Bauman Manufacturing’s drop spreaders are built tough in Canada and designed for precise material placement on sidewalks and narrow paths—helping contractors reduce waste, protect property, and get the job done right.
For over 50 years, Bauman Manufacturing has been a trusted name in Canadian-built equipment. Based in Elmira, Ontario, the company has spent the last two decades perfecting a line of drop spreaders that’s gaining serious traction in the snow and ice industry—especially for contractors and municipalities focused on narrow paths and sidewalks.
Bauman’s drop spreaders are made with powder-coated mild steel and are fully welded in Canada, offering the kind of rugged durability contractors count on in tough winter conditions. But what really sets these machines apart isn’t just how tough they are—it’s how precise they are.
“These units are designed to preserve material and prevent overspread,” says Jordan Graber. “That means less waste and minimal property damage—especially on tight walkways where overspread can be a liability.”
The drop spreaders feature an adjustable hopper that gives operators tight control over how much material is dispensed—a big win for anyone watching salt budgets or striving to be more environmentally responsible.
A Drop Spreader for Every Operation
Bauman currently offers nine different models, with a range of capacities and drivetrains to meet diverse contractor needs. Their smallest unit, the Model 220, has a 2-cubic-foot capacity and is ideal for walk-behind use. On the other end of the spectrum, Bauman offers a towable model that hitches to the back of an ATV—perfect for larger sidewalks or longer trail systems.
Built to Last
“Longevity is one of the biggest things that sets us apart,” Graber explains. “These are very heavily built machines. Everything is reinforced where possible.”
If you’re looking for a smart, rugged, and highly controlled approach to sidewalk and pathway material application, Bauman’s drop spreaders are a solid investment—engineered with both contractor needs and material conservation in mind.
