For reliable, low maintenance performance, the WESTERN® Tornado™ hopper spreader has a variety of features built to put more control at your fingertips, delivering efficient salt and sand spreading operation. The rugged, one-piece poly broadcast spreader includes overlapping lids to provide unsurpassed protection for your salt or sand load.
The one-piece, double-walled hopper is built of durable polyethylene for corrosion-free performance, whether using rock salt, calcium chloride, sand or any other type of de-icing material.
Spinner & Spreading Width
An extra large 15½” polyurethane spinner delivers a spread pattern of up to 40′ and provides long-lasting, corrosion-free performance.
Material Delivery
One of the widest in the industry, the 15½” pintle chain conveyer delivers reliable, smooth, and consistent material flow to help reduce bridging. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel conveyor housing provides added protection and reliability.
Adjustable Feed Gate
An adjustable feed gate controls the amount of material flowing from the hopper to the spinner to regulate material flow and helps reduce waste when traveling between sites.
Two-Piece Poly Hopper Cover
The two-piece poly hopper cover shields de-icing material from the elements. The Tornado™ spreader’s overlapping hopper design seals out moisture while molded water grooves direct runoff away from the hopper. When opened, the covers form a spill guard to keep overflow material out of your truck.
Drop Chute
The adjustable-height poly drop chute accommodates both pickup truck and flatbed applications, ensuring a proper spreading height.
For convenient access to the hitch or for material off load, the chute assembly can be removed—no tools required.
Dual Electric Motors
Two instant-start, 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable and independent control over the conveyor and spinner mechanisms. The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion.
