Fisher's New Storm Boxx HX Delivers Snow Pushing up to 16 Feet Wide

Commercial snow and ice control equipment manufacturer Fisher Engineering is expanding its product line with the new Storm Boxx HX Hydraulic-Wing Pusher Plow and the Tempest Poly Hopper Spreader.

Storm Boxx HX

Available in 8-, 10-, 12-, 14- and 16-foot widths, the Storm Boxx HX turns a skid steer, backhoe or wheel loader into a snow clearing machine. Its hydraulically-actuated 3-foot wings can be moved independently into numerous configurations within a 180-degree range of motion.  When both wings are fully open, operators gain an additional 6 feet of plow width.

The terrain-response advanced cutting edge, or TRACE, features independent, 2-inch sections that raise, oscillate, and trip to adjust to surface contours and obstacles in the plow's path. This results in a clean scrape and reduces the amount of salt needed, the company says. The 3-foot wing sections also feature the TRACE technology. Each section has a ¾-inch cutting edge with replaceable carbide inserts.

Operation of the plow is tied into the equipment’s controls. Hydraulic wings are controlled through the vehicle’s auxiliary hydraulic functions.

A common attachment plate allows for easy installation on a variety of equipment. Fisher Engineering also offers vehicle-specific mounts.

Tempest Poly Hopper Spreader

Attach the Tempest Poly Hopper Spreader to your work truck to de-ice large areas with a variety of materials. Buyers can choose between the Helixx shaftless auger system for rock salt application or the pintle chain conveyor system for thick, heavy materials like sand or salt/sand mix. It is available in 1.5—to 5-cubic-yard capacities.

Fisher says it has optimized the hopper’s geometry for better material flow to the spinner, resulting in a smooth and even spread in a broadcast pattern of up to 36 inches for salt and 24 inches for sand. The hopper is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and constructed entirely of rivets and bolts, with no welding.

The standard steel top screen helps break up large chunks of de-icing material during the loading process to prevent clogging and bridging during spreader operation.

Enhanced dual variable-speed control with four standard accessory buttons and a dedicated blast button lets operators precisely match material delivery and spread patterns to conditions.

A wide range of accessories is also available, including the Trilogy Defense Pre-wet and Direct Liquid Application System, which allows you to spread, pre-wet, or spray with one hopper spreader.

“The Tempest Poly Hopper becomes even more effective when adding the Trilogy Defense Pre-wet and Direct Liquid Application System”, said Seth Bergerud, CSP, parts & accessories product manager for Fisher Engineering. “Whether pre-wetting material to treat it for colder conditions or using direct application to pretreat surfaces, the versatility of the upfitted Tempest can handle the worst mother nature has to offer.”
