    The TKCHT Grain Hopper from Trail King has low-maintenance composite smooth-panel construction and 1-piece molded lower hoppers that facilitate quick clean-outs with 22.5 inches (57.15 centimeters) of ground clearance. The lightweight trailer combines an aerodynamic design to ease pulling with a capacity to haul more bushels than ever before.

    High Capacity, High Durability

    The Grain Hopper comes in 41- and 51-foot (12.5- and 15.5-meter) models with widths of either 96 or 102 inches (2,438 or 2,590 millimeters). Trail King offers three model options with level bushel capacities of 1,109, 1,310, and 1,287 bushels; each has two underside hopper doors. The trailer’s high-tensile steel subframe and upper coupler have a zinc-rich primer coat to prevent corrosion. An optional electric tarp with a remote is available for additional protection.

    Features & Options

    The trailer is constructed with rounded aluminum corners, and Trail King offers optional stainless steel, white, or inserts. Sight windows for monitoring the hoppers are available in high or low positions and have increased size for better interior visibility. Front and rear ladders make it easier for operators to perform inspections, and the optional catwalk provides even greater accessibility.
