Gritting services for Larne businesses
Larne is a busy ferry port and logistics hub on the Antrim coast, where hauliers and port users need yards and approach roads treated before the early sailings. The coast stays mild, but sites inland along the A8 climb quickly onto colder ground.
Because Larne is close to the coast, many winter nights hover just above freezing. That makes the decision to grit harder, not easier, so we forecast your site individually and treat whenever surface temperatures are expected to reach your trigger.
