Fisher - TEMPEST™ Stainless Steel Hopper Spreader S400C / S400A

Pintle Chain Conveyor

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

* Chain Models Only (S150C, S220C, S300C, S400C, S500C)

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.

Extended Material 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.

When equipped with the optional pre-wet accessory, it leads into the patented pre-wet mixing chamber.

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.

CHUTE DESIGN

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 ASSEMBLY

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.

The ergonomic, hinged design opens from the driver’s side and swings to the passenger side, providing easy access for maintenance or material unloading. For convenient access to the hitch, the chute assembly can be removed.

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.

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.

Material Spill Protector (Chain Only)

A protection flap at the end of the conveyor prevents material from spilling out and pooling near the vehicle cab.

*Chain Models Only (S150C, S220C, S300C, S400C, S500C)

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.
