TEMPEST™ Stainless Steel Hopper Spreader

Patented corkscrew material delivery system is optimized to operate in the target range for rock salt spreading best practices. The auger has multiple pitches to help promote smooth, even material flow from the hopper and prevents bridging. The shaftless technology reduces drag on the motor and reduces the overall load on the electrical system.

* Auger Models Only (S150A, S220A, S300A, S400A, S500A) 

The large conveyor delivers reliable, smooth, and consistent material flow for heavy, dense materials while reducing bridging.

* Chain Models Only (S150C, S220C, S300C, S400C, S500C)

The hopper is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and constructed entirely of rivets and bolts, with no welding. This provides a cleaner stainless look and is easier to repair for long-life and protection against stress.

A material delivery extension reduces leaking/spilling during transport. This provides a more cab forward design, allowing for added stability and weight distribution of the hopper.

When equipped with the optional pre-wet accessory, it leads into the patented pre-wet mixing chamber.

Channels on either side of the hopper allow wires and cables to be easily run from the hopper to the cab for a clean installation.

The end caps are at more of an angle to provide better material flow so the hopper load can be evenly spread with each fill.

Baffles within the chute deliver a consistent spread pattern that reduces material waste. By directing material to precise points on the spinner, it helps to cast it away from the truck rather than onto the back of your bumper. A direct drive motor offers better torque and reduces servicing.

For precise material application, the chute assembly can be configured for either pickup truck or flatbed and dump body applications, ensuring you’re always spreading at the optimum height. An extended chute is standard on 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 cu yd models. Sold separately for 1.5 and 2.2 cu yd models.

The ergonomic, hinged design opens from the driver’s side and swings to the passenger side, providing easy access for maintenance or material unloading. For convenient access to the hitch, the chute assembly can be removed.

Heavy-duty, weather resistant plug is IP-68 rated. Positive latching ensures a secure connection, even with vibrations caused by consistent travel. The plug has been tested to 5,000 mating cycles for durability for many winter seasons to come.

An extra-large 16″ polyurethane spinner delivers a broadcast spread pattern of up to 36′ for salt and 24′ for sand and provides long-lasting, corrosion-free performance. The ridges on the spinner ensure an even distribution of material throughout the spread arc.

Reduce heavy startup loads on the drivetrain and potential bridging during operations with the optional inverted V. Made of 12 gauge 201 stainless steel, the inverted V is strong and corrosion resistant, for use in highly demanding environments. The inverted V is easy to assemble and install and will provide years of trouble free use.

* Accessory for 1.5 & 2.2 cu yd Chain Models (S150C & S220C)
* Standard on 1.5 & 2.2 cu yd Auger Models. (S150A & S220A)
* Standard on 3.0, 4.0 & 5.0 cu yd Chain & Auger Models. (S300C, S300A, S400C, S400A, S500C & S500A)

A protection flap at the end of the conveyor prevents material from spilling out and pooling near the vehicle cab.

*Chain Models Only (S150C, S220C, S300C, S400C, S500C) 

A steel top screen comes standard, which helps break up large chunks of de-icing material during the loading process to prevent clogging and bridging during spreader operation. The anchor piece is now bolted on instead of welded for easy replacement.
