TTC makes one for their stuff. To date western isn't telling us about one. Trinity makes them for their belt. I know there are others that have them. The ones that I have seen are very difficult for one driver to work with unless someone would help. Ricci at TTC seems to be a fairly nice guy. I think I would consult with him if you want store bought. Art Pfluger

Art Pfluger" We used to work with a gentleman in WA named Ross Parli, he has passed away some time ago.... but he made one out of aluminum, it could not have weighed more than 25 lbs. He could have made a million bucks on that design.... he made a bracket under the truck for it, it was easily stored, it was light weight, it was durable for all of the freight we ever put into the truck. Everything that you could want in its functionality, and didnt take away from the ability to get a payload on. I wish I could find one like it.

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. wilkens does or did make a trailer with a hopper built into it , but i have also seen plenty that have a fiberdlass hopper that just hangs on the back as well easy as hell to make one. bt i did look atthe wilkens webite , give them a call they still make both the removeable hopper as well as the inboard incorporated into the trailer.
