Perfect Fit for Your Needs
The Tornado Sand and Salt Spreader is available in 7- and 8-foot lengths, with 1.5-, 1.8- and 2.5-cubic yard capacities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Corrosion-Free Hopper Spreader The one-piece double-walled hopper is built of durable polyurethane for corrosion-free performance, whether using rock salt, calcium chloride, sand or any other type of de-icing material. Whether you are using the Tornado for salt spreading applications or sand spreading applications, the Tornado Spreader delivers professional-grade corrosion protection no matter the material. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Overlapping Poly Hopper Covers Overlapping poly hopper covers protect de-icing materials by sealing out moisture. The hopper spreader lids also keep material out of the bed of the truck when filling up the hopper. Molded grooves in the dome shaped lids also assist in directing water away from the hopper. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Open Poly Hopper Covers
Standard top screen breaks up large material chunks for better flow, minimizing the possibility of material jamming as it exits the spreader.
Open poly hopper covers protect the truck bed from material overflow during loading into the bed of the truck when loading.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dual Electric Motors
Independent motors give you complete control of how much material is delivered and spread pattern
One motor controls the conveyor for rate of material delivery
The other controls spinner speed and spread pattern
Electric motors mean reliable startup, quiet operation and low maintenance | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Steel Pintle Chain Conveyor
Industry proven steel pintle chain provides smooth, consistent material flow
Stainless steel housing provides strength and reliability
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Adjustable Feed Gate
The fully adjustable feed gate lets you regulate material flow to your and your customer requirements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Spinner Chute Assembly on Tornado Hopper Spreader
Extra large 15½” polyurethane spinner disc provides long-lasting corrosion-free performance.
The height of the entire assembly can be adjusted in two different positions, for use on both pickup and flatbed trucks, and can be easily removed for off-season storage.
Molded handles for easy removal.

Variable Speed Control Video
The Tornado Spreader’s variable-speed control, coupled with the electrical system, features self-diagnostics, with LEDs that indicate to the operator in the vehicle cab how the hopper is running, for example, whether or not the hopper is empty or running at higher than normal amperage. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
