Loaded with features unique to Western Trailers, our hoppered
flat trailers are the ultimate hauler. The built-in hoppers
on this tough flatbed allow you to carry a wider range of
products on the same trailer.
Using it as a flatbed, you'll find have the same payload
and lightweight you've come to expect from Western Trailers.
Then, fold the sides up and remove the floor sections and
you've got a hopper trailer ready for bulk loads.
Folding
sides
Folding sides have a tough life on any flatbed, but our design
allows an extra margin of protection under all types of usage.
We use MDO plywood that holds up well through years of service.
The recessed floor lets sides fold down flush with the outer
rim and protects them from forklift damage. This design also
seals out water when the sides are up.
Aluminum
stakes and tarp trusses
Stakes and tarp trusses are built out of heat treated aluminum.
They hold sides evenly spaced and in place, reducing tarp wear
and eliminating the need for cross chains. Stakes and tarp bows
store in headboard.
3
full emptying hopper bins
Hoppers are constructed of high-tensile steel with lightweight
aluminum doors and a big 24" x 32" opening. End slopes are 45°
for easy unloading. The gear-type door operator is extended
to the outer rail so you won't have to climb under the trailer
to open our hopper doors.
Options:
Moveable
bulkheads
Moveable bulkheads allow positioning of loads over hopper bins.
Removable aluminum floor sections may also be used for bulkheading
over bins.
Accessory
tubes
We use an octagonal design for extra strength. Our standard
tube is 24" in diameter with heat treated aluminum construction
and locking door. Holds stakes, tarps, belts and other accessories.
Floor
traps
We install to suit your needs. Our traps are approximately 9"
x 9", recessed 1.25" and welded into the floor. We think of
them as "forklift proof."
