Hauling DDG, grains, rice bran, chicken or fish meal, or other difficult-to-unload materials in your hopper trailer can increase unloading time, create opportunities for operator injury, and potentially damage your equipment.

The MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator will change all that!

A non-impacting linear vibrator that instantly attaches anywhere on the truck bed, the MT-FAST™ Vibrator has been proven to empty trailers quickly and completely, allowing even the most stubborn materials to flow more easily. With the MT-FAST™ Vibrator in place, drivers can empty large loads without having to hammer on the hopper walls to dislodge stuck-on material.

The VAC-MOUNT™ Portable Vibrator can be instantly attached to any part of the hopper, allowing material to flow easily from corners, valleys, and crevices.Weighing in at less than 10 lbs., the unit can be positioned strategically, right at the problem area, ensuring optimal material flow, unlike permanently mounted industrial vibrators.  Despite its light weight and portability, the vibrator packs 260 linear lbs. of force and can move even the most difficult materials. The MT-FAST™ Vibrator uses the rig’s own air supply (less than 15 CFM required) – a unique patented feature (US Patent No. 9,499,085). The low-frequency, high-amplitude vibrator is best suited for low-density materials, like grain and meal. Operators can adjust the amplitude on the unit to suit specific needs, while the frequency is factory-set for optimal results.

Empty Hopper Trailers Faster, Safer, More Completely

The MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator is the perfect tool for unloading problem loads, including corn meal, DDG, gluten pellets, and more. Safer than pounding the side of the hopper or trailer, or poking at it from below, this vibrator also moves product faster. Plus, it's easy to use and, because it vacuum mounts to the sidewall, it can be easily re-positioned to problem areas as needed.

Faster Flow With No More Banging!

See how much faster the material will flow from your hopper bottom trailer once you switch from banging to this safer vibration solution.

Reviews for MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator

Trust Me, They Work

5/5 Stars from Adam Spencer Quinn

We have three of them. Trust me when I say they work.

Works Great

4/5 Stars from Tom Kurzwell

Used mine the other day on unloading soybean meal, worked great. Only thing I would change is the hook up on the air lines needs to be a T behind the gladhand with a quick coupler.

MT-FAST Gets It Done!

5/5 Stars from Tony Kuckuck

We've used them for several years, DDG is tough to unload at least 6 months out of the year. The MT helps get it done with out damage to the hopper.

Safer unloading

5/5 Stars from Shawn Zielinski

The vibrator empties every bit of clover seed out of the hopper. We no longer have to climb up on the trailer and blow it out with compressed air. It has added a tremendous level of safety and convenience. It was one of the best investments I have ever made.

Hopper bottom portable vibrator

5/5 Stars from John Sawatzky

I am hauling quite a bit of oat flower and soybean meal. It’s an amazing tool to have. You can place it on the Hopper wherever it’s needed. It can save me easily up to two hours on my unload time. I did add a regulator to it so that I can set the pressure according to how much of a vibration I need for the product to start flowing out of my hoppers. Sometimes it needs just a soft gentle vibration to start the flow or keep the constant flow going.

It's always with me. Gives me peace of mind.

5/5 Stars from Michael Conner

It works when others don’t. Gets the job done.

Good Vibes

5/5 Stars from Mike O'Hara

Martin vibrator was an awesome addition to our equipment, easy to use, easy on equipment. No more hitting hoppers. Great piece of equipment.

Initially awesome

3/5 Stars from Jerry Morris

Purchased a hopper trailer to haul soybean meal. It had no vibrators. We bought this and even though quite expensive we got along very well with it for quite a while. However, we unload in a very dirty environment and eventually it was constantly getting plugged, was heavy to move around in limited access areas. In short, it was good for about a year, then we installed permanent vibrators, 2 per hopper for about the same money and work more dependably. Still has a place and I might buy again under other circumstances.

Best deal

5/5 Stars from Gordon Graham

This vibrator has saved me so much time on unloading and sweeping, it's been great!!

GREAT PRODUCT, EVEN BETTER SERVICE

5/5 Stars from Kevin Wakeley

I have a standard hopper trailer, I emailed Michael Holland on Sunday about the MT Fast vibrator. He called me back first thing Monday morning by 0830 with options that worked for what I needed. I told him I needed it by Tuesday afternoon selfishly...the vibrator, carrying case, 50' hose, and extra fittings showed up the next day Tuesday by 11:48AM. I could not be happier with the mt fast vibrator itself or the service and understanding that I received from Michael. Thank you Martin. I will recommend you to everyone and use your product in the future.

Wouldn’t want to be without one

5/5 Stars from Chad Hendrickson

Used it today on sugar beet shreds in Kentucky with a 105 Heat Index, took two hours. Moved it about 8 times per hopper. Without it, I don’t believe the load would have moved. Unloading Gluten pellets is the next load. I carry two in my truck at all times and extra parts. Wouldn’t want to be without one.


Best uses and case studies for MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator

  • Unloading Azomite From a Hopper Bottom Trailer
    Problem

    A hauler was having trouble emptying his hopper trailer completely when emptying loads of azomite, a broad spectrum natural mineral product, at a feed mill. He often had to manually dislodge the material by banging on the hopper walls with a mallet – a dangerous task that causes muscle strain and increases the risk for operator injury.

    Situation

    Robert Holly of Oakley Trucking Inc. has been driving a hopper bottom trailer for many years. On several occasions, he has had to manually dislodge settled or stuck-on material from the hopper in order to completely empty a load. Unloading azomite was particularly slow and problematic. After some research, he discovered the MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator and decided to try it.

    Solution

    Holly is now using a portable MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator to unload his trailer. With the vibrator, he has reduced his unloading time from 90 minutes to 30 minutes – a reduction of over 65%! He no longer has to use a mallet to bang on the trailer, a task that used to take upwards of 60 minutes and resulted in back and shoulder pain. Holly is impressed with the MT-FAST™ and rated it a 9.5 out of 10.

  • Reduce Truck Unload Time with MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Vibrator
    Problem

    A Minnesota-based grain hauler was having trouble emptying his trailer completely due to low-density grains and meal settling in the crevices of the hopper. Often, the truck operator would have to manually dislodge the stubborn material by getting under the trap and hammering on the hopper walls.

    Situation

    Joe Virnig, a driver for Foltz Trucking, has been driving a grain hauler for many years. On several occasions, Virnig has had to manually dislodge settled or stuck-on grain material from the hopper in order to completely empty a load. After a particularly troublesome delivery that required six hours of labor and a call to dispatch for more assistance, Virnig decided to do some research on vacuum-mounted truck vibrators. He discovered that MARTIN® Vibration Systems had a newly-designed product coming out of R&D and agreed to test it.

    Solution

    After Virnig’s initial testing, MARTIN® tweaked the original design and created what is now known as the MARTIN® MT- FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator. The portable vibrator attaches anywhere on the truck bed using a MARTIN® VAC-MOUNT™ System, which means it can be positioned wherever force is needed. After using the MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Vibrator for a year, Virnig has reduced his unload times, cut down on unproductive time, and improved the safety of his operation.

  • Emptying Low Density Chicken Meal from Timpte Hopper Trailer
    Problem

    A Kentucky-based hauler was having trouble emptying his Timpte Hopper trailer completely due to low-density chicken meal settling in the crevices of the hopper. He often had to manually dislodge the material by banging on the hopper walls with a mallet or poking at the product.

    Situation

    Chad Wilkins of Wilkins Trucking LLC has been driving a hopper bottom trailer for many years. On several occasions, he has had to manually dislodge settled or stuck-on material from the hopper in order to completely empty a load. After some research, Wilkins discovered the MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator and decided to try it.

    Solution

    Wilkins now uses a portable MARTIN® MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator, which attaches anywhere on the hopper. This allows him to position it wherever it is required. The MT-FAST™ has reduced Wilkins’ average unloading time from 90 minutes to 60 minutes and eliminated the need for manually dislodging stuck-on material. Mr. Wilkins shared with our team that he found the portable vibrator to be quiet, effective, and “worth every penny!”
