With a generous 2.2 cubic yard capacity, the Tempest spreader efficiently dispenses salt, sand, and salt/sand mixes, ensuring superior handling of de-icing materials. The innovation behind this model includes an optimized hopper end cap angle, which enhances material flow through its delivery system, promoting a consistent and effective spread every time.
Equipped with a choice between a robust pintle chain conveyor system for dense materials or the innovative HELIXX shaftless auger for precise application of rock salt, this spreader adapts to a variety of operational needs. The extended chute design facilitates positive material flow while preventing leakage during transport, minimizing waste.
An important addition to the Tempest line is the optional pre-wet system. This feature allows liquid treatment of the rock salt for rapid activation, ultimately increasing the efficiency of the ice control process. Additionally, a material spill-protector flap has been integrated to prevent spillage near the vehicle cab, ensuring a cleaner and safer operational environment.
Designed for use with ¾ to 1-ton pickup trucks or cab and chassis vehicles, the Tempest presents a perfect balance of power, versatility, and convenience. With its top screens, license plate light, removable chute assembly, and standard spreader control, the 98520 Fisher Stainless Steel Tempest Hopper Spreader stands out as the top choice for winter maintenance tasks.
