Full Length HELIXX Design and Multi-Dimensional Tub
The HELIXX 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.

Advanced Salt Delivery
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.
|
Cab Forward Design
The cab forward hopper delivers better payload distribution to reduce stress on the vehicle and prevents leakage/spilling when transporting.
|
Material Leak/Spill Prevention
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.
|
Stainless Steel Construction
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.
|
Chute Baffle System
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.
|
Flip-Up/Removable Chute
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.
|
Inverted V
Baffle that attaches within the tub that helps to keep material off of the HELIXX system to help maximize flow of compacted materials.
|
Vibrator
Attached to structural cross member, it vibrates the entire unit (tub and sill) to maximize flow of bulk materials.
|
Dual Variable-Speed Control
Allows for variable control of spinner and HELIXX speeds for precise material delivery at both a low or high output. Features auto reverse and integrates with accessories (including pre-wet and direct liquid application).
|
Dump Switch
Rear-mounted dump switch allows operators to quickly dispose of spreading materials left in tub/material control chamber.
|
Simple Installation
Only requires a single 4-pin wire routed into the cab to install the compact control.
|
Spinner Height Adjustment
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).
|
Top Screen
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.
|
FLEET FLEX
The FLEET FLEX electrical system provides a consistent electrical platform and complete fleet interchangeability between all HELIXX spreaders.
|
No-Blast Startup
For maximum material placement and control, the spinner doesn’t blast upon startup, instead starting at the desired speed setting on the dial.
|
Rear-Mounted Gear Box
Easy access to motors, drives and other key components maximizes serviceability.
|
Fork Pockets
For simple install and removal, fork pockets are integrated into the frame legs.
|
Pre-Wet and Direct Liquid Application
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.
