When it comes to managing ice for your clients, you’re the only one who knows exactly what they need. The all-new TEMPEST line of stainless steel hoppers for work trucks range in capacities from 1.5 to 5.0 cu yd and provide your choice of material delivery system. Choose the HELIXX™ shaftless auger system for precise rock salt application or the robust pintle chain conveyor system for thick, heavy materials like sand or salt/sand mix.

Paired with the latest in de-icing technology and a catalog of accessories, the TEMPEST will allow you to tailor your de-icing services to your customer’s demands.

•  Helixx™ Auger Technology: Patent-pending 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.
•  Pintle Chain Conveyor: The large conveyor delivers reliable, smooth, and consistent material flow for heavy, dense materials while reducing bridging.
•  Hopper Construction: 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.
•  Extended Material Delivery & Pre-wet Chamber: 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.
•  Wiring Channel for Ease of Install: 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.
•  Steeper End Caps: 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.
