HELIXX™ Stainless Steel Hopper Spreader

The HELIXX delivery system runs the entire length of the hopper with variable flights, promoting even unloading of material. Steel tub walls feature multiple angles and have a step built into the tub/sill joint for better material flow.

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.

The cab forward hopper delivers better payload distribution to reduce stress on the truck and prevents leakage/spilling when transporting.

The HELIXX system 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.

The hopper and frame are 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.

Baffle that attaches within the tub that helps to keep material off of the HELIXX system to help maximize flow of compacted materials.

Attached to structural cross member, it vibrates the entire unit (tub and sill) to maximize flow of bulk materials.

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 11920, 11930 and 11940 models).

Allows for variable control of spinner and HELIXX system speeds for precise material delivery, whether at low or high output. Features auto reverse and integrates with accessories (including pre-wet and direct liquid application).

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. Molded spinner plug must be removed when flipped for dumping.

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.

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.

For simple install and removal, fork pockets are integrated into the frame legs.

Spread, pre-wet or spray with one machine. By adding pre-wet tanks, a pump and a spray kit, these HELIXX hopper spreaders can not only pre-wet materials, but they can also be used for spraying brine directly onto the driving surface for anti-icing applications. The components offer simple plug-and-play installation, meaning a contractor can upgrade to pre-wetting or direct liquid applications at any time.
