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.
