CHOOSE WISELY
.
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.
UNIQUE FEATURES
.

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

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

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.
HOPPER CONSTRUCTION

EXTENDED 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.
STEEPER END CAPS

CHUTE ASSEMBLY
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.
CHUTE DESIGN

CHUTE POWER PLUG
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.
CHUTE ASSEMBLY

CHUTE POWER PLUG
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.
CHUTE POWER PLUG

SPINNER CHANNELS & SPREAD PATTERN
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.
SPINNER CHANNELS & SPREAD PATTERN

INVERTED V
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.

SHUTTER DEFLECTOR
A protection flap at the end of the conveyor prevents material from spilling out and pooling near the vehicle cab.
MATERIAL SPILL PROTECTOR (CHAIN ONLY)

TOP SCREEN & REPLACEABLE ANCHOR
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.

CONTROL
Enhanced dual variable-speed control allows you to precisely match material delivery and spread patterns to conditions. Four standard accessory buttons and a dedicated blast button provide optimum in-cab efficiency.
CONTROL

ELECTRIC MOTOR
The two high-torque 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable and independent control over the conveyor and spinner mechanisms. The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion, while the conveyor motor is completely sealed from the elements.
ELECTRIC MOTOR

SHUTTER DEFLECTOR
The easy-to-adjust circular shutter deflector allows directional spreading, providing optimal material control, while maintaining even coverage. For quick adjustments, simply move the convenient hand operated lever.
SHUTTER DEFLECTOR

ACCESSORY INTEGRATION & KNOCK OUTS
Connect accessories directly into the hub mounted in the back of the hopper. Accessories automatically integrate with the hopper control without having to run additional wires from the front of the truck. Hoppers feature knock-out holes for plug and play integration of certain accessories.

DUMP & WORK LIGHT SWITCHES
Operators can safely offload material or fill walk-behind spreaders by using the rear mounted dump switches. A third switch is also provided so that an accessory work light may be conveniently controlled from not only the cab but also the rear of the hopper.
DUMP & WORK LIGHT SWITCHES

FLEET FLEX ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FISHER hopper spreaders are designed with FLEET FLEX technology for easy interchangeability between electric hopper spreaders without having to change the wiring or the controls. It provides easy operation, increased reliability, simple wiring and easy installation.
