ADVANCED SALT DELIVERY
The SnowEx® HELIXX™ poly hopper spreaders deliver proven, high-capacity performance with capacities ranging from 1.5 to 5.0 cu yd models. This line of spreaders is engineered from the ground up to ensure maximum efficiency on your toughest routes. Featuring the patented HELIXX™ shaftless auger material delivery system that is optimized to reduce chance of clogs, clumps, or bridging. Seamlessly spread, pre-treat, and perform direct liquid application—all from one reliable unit—with the optional Triple Threat system. This innovative spreader combines lightweight, rugged durability with next-level technology, making it the essential equipment you need to dominate every property.
Hopper spreaders require bolting to the truck frame for proper operator safety.
Compatible with Trucks
Unique Features
HELIXX Advanced Material Delivery
The patent-pending corkscrew – or “helix” – design of the HELIXX material delivery system is optimized for efficient and cost-effective use of salt and was designed to operate in the target range for salt spreading best practices. The innovative design helps prevent clogs and delivers a material flow superior to traditional augers.
Full Length HELIXX and Multi-Dimensional Tub
The HELIXX runs the entire length of the hopper with variable flights. Combined with strategically positioned ribs/angles within the poly tub walls, this promotes the best possible material flow and even unloading.
Spread, pre-wet or spray with one machine. By adding pre-wet tanks, a pump and a spray kit, the HELIXX spreaders not only pre-wet materials, but they can also be used for spraying liquid brine directly onto the driving surface for anti-icing applications. The components offer a simple plug-and-play installation, meaning a contractor can upgrade to pre-wetting or direct liquid applications at any time.
The cab forward hopper delivers better payload distribution to reduce stress on the truck.
The HELIXX extends beyond the hopper and into the patented pre-wet mixing chamber to help prevent leaking/spilling during transport while providing an ideal location for pre-wetting material.
Constructed of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the frame features a unique leg and sill design to form a ridged backbone structure for greater durability.
Baffles within the chute direct material to key areas on the spinner resulting in a remarkably even and consistent spread pattern, as well as reducing material directed back at the vehicle.
Three spinner height adjustments allow spreaders to achieve a consistent spinner height of 18 to 22 inches off the ground, regardless of vehicle type (Standard on 11800 and 11810 models).
Only requires a single 4-pin wire routed into the cab to install the compact control.
The FLEET FLEX electrical system provides a consistent electrical platform and complete fleet interchangeability between all HELIXX spreaders.
For maximum material placement and control, the spinner doesn’t blast upon startup, instead starting at the desired speed setting on the dial.
Remove a single pin to flip-up the chute, or two pins to take it off entirely, for easy hitch access and more flexible storage.
Rear-mounted dump switch allows operators to quickly dispose of spreading materials left in tub/material control chamber.
Easy access to motors, drives and other key components maximizes serviceability.
Offers better visibility at rear of spreader during night applications.
Attached to structural cross member, it vibrates the entire unit (tub and sill) to maximize flow of bulk materials.
Top screen ensures material that enters the hopper is consistent size by breaking up any large clumps and filters out large debris to ensure proper operation.
A tarp fitted to the spreader’s dimensions protects material from outside weather elements and keeps it dry.
For simple install and removal, fork pockets are integrated into the frame legs.
Triple Threat
Spread, pre-wet or spray with one machine. By adding pre-wet tanks, a pump and a spray kit, the HELIXX spreaders not only pre-wet materials, but they can also be used for spraying liquid brine directly onto the driving surface for anti-icing applications. The components offer a simple plug-and-play installation, meaning a contractor can upgrade to pre-wetting or direct liquid applications at any time.
Cab Forward Design
The cab forward hopper delivers better payload distribution to reduce stress on the truck.
Material Leak/Spill Prevention
The HELIXX extends beyond the hopper and into the patented pre-wet mixing chamber to help prevent leaking/spilling during transport while providing an ideal location for pre-wetting material.
Stainless Steel Frame
Constructed of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the frame features a unique leg and sill design to form a ridged backbone structure for greater durability.
Chute Baffle System
Baffles within the chute direct material to key areas on the spinner resulting in a remarkably even and consistent spread pattern, as well as reducing material directed back at the vehicle.
Spinner Height Adjustment
Three spinner height adjustments allow spreaders to achieve a consistent spinner height of 18 to 22 inches off the ground, regardless of vehicle type (Standard on 11800 and 11810 models).
Simple Installation
Only requires a single 4-pin wire routed into the cab to install the compact control.
FLEET FLEX
The FLEET FLEX electrical system provides a consistent electrical platform and complete fleet interchangeability between all HELIXX spreaders.
No-Blast Startup
For maximum material placement and control, the spinner doesn’t blast upon startup, instead starting at the desired speed setting on the dial.
Flip-Up/Removable Chute
Remove a single pin to flip-up the chute, or two pins to take it off entirely, for easy hitch access and more flexible storage.
Dump Switch
Rear-mounted dump switch allows operators to quickly dispose of spreading materials left in tub/material control chamber.
Rear-Mounted Gear Box
Easy access to motors, drives and other key components maximizes serviceability.
Work Light
Offers better visibility at rear of spreader during night applications.
Vibrator
Attached to structural cross member, it vibrates the entire unit (tub and sill) to maximize flow of bulk materials.
