TEMPEST™ Poly Hopper Spreader

Resist the corrosive environment of de-icing with polyethylene construction. Lightweight, yet highly durable, these hoppers are built to last. The molded polyethylene tub geometry is optimized for better material flow. This allows for a smoother, even flow that prevents materials from getting stuck.

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 (P150A & P220A) 

The large conveyor delivers reliable, smooth, and consistent material flow for heavy, dense materials (like sand and 50/50 mix) while reducing bridging.

* Chain Models Only (P150C & P220C)

Standard lids have molded channels for moisture runoff. Pockets at the end of the lid allow a 2×4 to be inserted for leverage while opening.

Special design allows the hopper to stand on end for easier storage in the off-season and easier installation into the truck bed. Simply remove the two pins, unplug it, and take off the chute before standing up the hopper.

A material delivery extension reduces leaking/ spilling during transport and leads into the patented pre-wet mixing chamber. It also provides a cab-forward design for added stability and weight distribution of the hopper.

* Pre-wet accessory sold separately

The ridges on the spinner ensure an even distribution of material throughout the spread arc. The spinner is 16” diameter and can spread salt up to 36’ and sand up to 24’.

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.

The ergonomic, hinged design uses fewer components for all models, making service easy. A direct-drive motor offers better torque and reduces servicing.

Remove the pin, unplug it, and swing the chute from the the driver’s side to the passenger side, providing easy access for maintenance or material unloading. The chute assembly can also be removed for convenient access to the hitch or to stand the hopper up on end during storage.

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