Grain hopper trailers pick up grain in the field as it’s harvested and transported to silos and grain bins for processing and shipping. That means they’re used on every surface, from dirt to highways, and see a lot of wear and tear. Jet Trailers’ new line of grain hopper trailers is designed to handle these environments, resulting in less expensive operating costs and a better user experience.
This starts with the exterior. These aluminum trailers have double walls with smooth sides that minimize rivets, corrugations, and exterior ribs. Improved aerodynamics reduce fuel costs on the highway, while weight reduction increases the total load capacity for better ROI.
These Jet grain trailers come with a patented Easy Open Grain Door that uses the weight of the load to help push the doors open. Jet pairs this door with a high clearance handle, reducing bending and straining when opening the chute. The door frame uses self-cleaning rollers that require almost no maintenance.
These aluminum trailers have a layer of powder coating on the outside that stops corrosion and resists chipping, scratching, and fading. This coating is available in silver gray, slate gray, black and white. Stainless steel corners reinforce the enclosure and help with visibility.
Jet grain hopper trailers are available in 6 sizes:
– 21′ 8″ single axle or pup trailer
– 34’2″, 38’4″, 40’0″ and 41’8″ tandem axles
– 50-foot triple axle
Tandem hopper trailers have 66-inch-tall walls, while triple axle trailers have 72-inch-tall walls. However, any trailer can be specially ordered with 72 or 78-inch walls to haul low-density material, like dried distiller grains. Triple axle trailers can be equipped with an auto-lifting rear axle, saving wear and tear on the back tires when the trailer is unloaded.
Hopper bottom trailers have an easy-to-replace electric tarp with remote control. All trailers have aluminum ladders on the front and back. The rear ladder has a flip-down extension for easier access.
