HELIXX™ (1.5 – 5.0 cu yd)

Poly Hoppers

Forget everything you thought you knew about poly spreaders. Available in capacities from 1.5 to 5.0 cu yd, the HELIXX Poly Hopper Spreaders are a from-the-ground-up design based on extensive testing and three decades of SnowEx® hopper spreader innovation. The exclusive material delivery system vastly outperforms traditional augers, delivering unmatched material flow.

  The Total Package
Thinking about getting into pre-wetting or direct liquid applications (DLA), but not ready to make the leap to a sprayer? The HELIXX hopper spreader is your answer. It’s a triple threat – with the ability to not only spread material, but also be upgraded to add pre-wet and DLA capabilities. Simply add a liquid kit, which includes brine tanks, a high-efficiency pump, a pre-wet spray bar and a set of boom-less nozzles, and now you’re in the brine business. No other spreader on the market is this flexible.
  SnowEx - Why Helixx Poly - Triple Threat  



  Powers Through Material
What’s the biggest pet peeve for any spreader operator? Clogs. No one wants to get out of the warm cab and start chipping away at material to keep it flowing. It’s annoying. It wastes time. It wastes money. Enter the exclusive HELIXX material delivery system. Unlike anything else on the market, the HELIXX transfers the entire column of material in the hopper. Combined with the multi-dimensional tub design and vibrator, these spreaders reduce clogs and deliver better flow than those with traditional augers.

  A Strong Foundation
Spreaders operate in the toughest environments. Add to this the fact that they carry and distribute corrosive materials. That’s why HELIXX spreaders feature a durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel frame. Furthermore, the unique leg and sill design of the frame forms a ridged backbone to keep the stainless steel hopper true to form, regardless of how much material it’s carrying.
  SnowEx - Why Helixx Poly  



  All At Your Fingertips
The compact, dual variable-speed control easily installs into the truck cab to give you complete control over material flow and spinner speed. It also features a diagnostic display, bright LED lights and convenient accessory buttons for simplified control of optional accessories. No matter your setup, it’s simply plug and play.

HELIXX Material Delivery

Don't Call It An Auger
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.

Pre-Wet and Direct Liquid Application

Triple Threat
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.

<strong><u>Full Length HELIXX and Multi-Dimensional Tub</u></strong><br/>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.
Full Length HELIXX and Multi-Dimensional Tub
   
<strong><u>Cab Forward Design</u></strong><br/>The cab forward hopper delivers better payload distribution to reduce stress on the truck.
Cab Forward Design
   
<strong><u>Material Leak/Spill Prevention</u></strong><br/>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.
Material Leak/Spill Prevention
   
<strong><u>Stainless Steel Frame</u></strong><br/>Constructed of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the frame features a unique leg and sill design to form a ridged backbone structure for greater durability.
Stainless Steel Frame
   
<strong><u>Chute Baffle System</u></strong><br/>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.
Chute Baffle System
   
<strong><u>Spinner Height Adjustment</u></strong><br/>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).
Spinner Height Adjustment
 
<strong><u>Dual Variable-Speed Control</u></strong><br/>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).
Dual Variable-Speed Control
   
<strong><u>Simple Installation</u></strong><br/>Only requires a single 4-pin wire routed into the cab to install the compact control.
Simple Installation
   
<strong><u>FLEET FLEX</u></strong><br/>The FLEET FLEX electrical system provides a consistent electrical platform and complete fleet interchangeability between all HELIXX spreaders.
FLEET FLEX
   
<strong><u>No-Blast Startup</u></strong><br/>For maximum material placement and control, the spinner doesn’t blast upon startup, instead starting at the desired speed setting on the dial.
No-Blast Startup
   
<strong><u>Flip-Up/Removable Chute</u></strong><br/>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.
Flip-Up/Removable Chute
   
<strong><u>Dump Switch</u></strong><br/>Rear-mounted dump switch allows operators to quickly dispose of spreading materials left in tub/material control chamber.
Dump Switch
 
<strong><u>Rear-Mounted Gear Box</u></strong><br/>Easy access to motors, drives and other key components maximizes serviceability.
Rear-Mounted Gear Box
   
<strong><u>Work Light</u></strong><br/>Offers better visibility at rear of spreader during night applications.
Work Light
   
<strong><u>Vibrator</u></strong><br/>Attached to structural cross member, it vibrates the entire unit (tub and sill) to maximize flow of bulk materials.
Vibrator
   
<strong><u>Top Screen</u></strong><br/>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.
Top Screen
   
<strong><u>Fitted Tarp</u></strong><br/>A tarp fitted to the spreader’s dimensions protects material from outside weather elements and keeps it dry.
Fitted Tarp
   
<strong><u>Fork Pockets</u></strong><br/>For simple install and removal, fork pockets are integrated into the frame legs.
