The Tempest Hopper from Fisher Engineering can effectively dispense salt, sand or a salt/sand mix to safely maintain roads and surfaces. Durable and sleek, the Tempest hopper spreaders are constructed with riveted, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. An optimized hopper end cap angle moves more material through to the material delivery system for a consistent spread. Fleet owners now have the option of a pintle chain delivery system for thick, heavy de-icing materials or the all-new Helixx shaftless auger for precise rock salt application. Tempst hopper spreaders will be available in the following capacities: 0.35 cubic yard, 0.7 cubic yard, 1.5 cubic yards, 2.2 cubic yards, 3.0 cubic yards, 4.0 cubic yards and 5.0 cubic yards. The Tempest line also features an extended-chute design that provides positive material flow while preventing any leakage during transport. When equipped with the optional prewet system, the extended chute provides a chamber where the prewet liquid treats the rock salt for quick activation. The prewet system also provides direct liquid treatment as well. The chain delivery system models feature an all-new material spill-protector flap to safeguard against deicing material spillage near the vehicle cab.
