2025 SnowEx® HELIXX™ Compact 12140

2025 SnowEx® HELIXX™ Compact 12140

The HELIXX™ 0.7 cu yd stainless steel hopper spreader is right sized for today’s most popular half-ton and light-duty trucks. Like the full-sized HELIXX units, this model provides excellent material flow, but in a more compact size that’s better suited to handle smaller spaces and jobs.

Features may include:

• 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.

• 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.

• The cab forward hopper delivers better payload distribution to reduce stress on the truck and prevents leakage/spilling when transporting.

• 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.

• 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, and riveted construction provides consistent, quality joints.

• 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.

• 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.

• Conveniently connect accessories directly into the hub mounted in the back of the hopper. Accessories automatically integrate with the hopper control without having to run additional wires from the front of the vehicle.

• 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 on the 12140 model).

• By using the two rear mounted conveyor dump switches, operators can safely offload material or fill walk-behind spreaders. A third switch is also provided so that an accessory work light my be conveniently controlled from not only the cab but also the rear of the hopper.

• Only requires a single 4-pin wire routed into the cab to install the compact control.
