Sakrete 65305345 Tube Sand 70 Pounds Traction Ballast

Product Description

The SAKRETE OF NORTH AMERICA 65305345 is a 70-pound tube sand product designed for two primary applications: adding ballast weight to vehicles in winter conditions and providing emergency traction on snow and ice. The sand is packaged in a heavy-duty, resealable bag sized to fit in the trunk of a car or over the wheel well of a pickup truck. When placed low in a vehicle, the added mass improves rear-wheel traction on slippery surfaces. When spread directly on the ground, it creates a gritty surface layer that reduces slip risk on icy driveways, walkways, and work sites.

This tube sand is suited for seasonal use by fleet managers, facility maintenance crews, and trade professionals who operate vehicles or work outdoors in cold climates. The resealable bag allows partial use — pour out what is needed for traction and retain the rest for continued ballast or future applications. It is equally appropriate for light commercial and residential settings wherever winter traction management is required.

Key Features

• 70-pound fill weight provides meaningful ballast in car trunks or pickup truck wheel wells
• Dual-purpose: functions as vehicle ballast or poured traction material on ice and snow
• Heavy-duty, resealable bag retains unused sand between applications
• Tube-style profile fits compactly in tight cargo spaces
• Ready to use straight from the bag — no mixing or preparation required

Compatibility

Designed for use in passenger cars, trucks, and pickup trucks as a portable ballast and traction aid during winter weather conditions.

Installation Notes

No installation tools are required. Place the bag in the vehicle cargo area or over the rear wheel well before driving in winter conditions. When using as a traction aid, open the resealable closure and pour the sand directly onto the icy surface ahead of or behind the drive wheels. Reseal the bag securely after each use to prevent moisture intrusion and sand loss during transport.
