Wondering what is the best place too locate vibrators on hopper trailers. Knock rails, slope sheets,etc,etc. If you have pics that would be great.thanks

For my 2 cents on the trap frame and on the curb side. The lower you can get one the better it seems to work better to get the flow started and the curb side just because it's not as loud for the driver.

I have mine located on the trap and have 2 brackets on each trap and use a portable vibrator and for my situation it seams to work well.

As low as possible ! Place them closer to where the doors open ! I've got 3 on each hopper and works really good. I'm going to put another air supply tank on also.

Don't waste your time with a mounted vibrator. Spend the money and get a suction cup one. You put it where you need to. Works awesome!!!!!
