FAQs
Can this holder be used for 5kg blocks?
No, this holder is specifically engineered for standard 2kg salt licks.
Are mounting screws included?
No, mounting hardware is not included as the required screw type depends on your specific mounting surface (wood, brick, etc.).
Is the plastic safe for animals?
Yes, the holder is made from stable, non-toxic materials suitable for equestrian and livestock use.
Can I mount this on wire fencing?
It is best mounted on a solid surface like a wooden post or stable wall for maximum stability.
How do I clean the holder?
Simply rinse with water and wipe away any salt buildup with a damp cloth during block replacement.
Troubleshooting
Salt lick sits loosely in the holder
Ensure you are using a standard 2kg block; if the block is undersized, use a small piece of wood or rubber shim to secure it.
Holder is loose on the wall
Check that the screws are fully tightened and that the wall material has not rotted or splintered around the fixing points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Lincoln Salt Lick Holder, identify a flat, sturdy mounting surface. Use appropriate wood or masonry screws to secure the holder through the pre-drilled holes on the back plate. Ensure the mounting height is appropriate for the target animal to avoid over-reaching or neck strain. This holder is compatible exclusively with standard 2kg salt or mineral licks. To care for the unit, periodically remove any mineral residue buildup with a damp cloth or a quick spray with a hose. Inspect the mounting screws annually to ensure they remain tight and the unit is not pulling away from the wall.
