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.

Introducing the MT-FAST™ Hopper Trailer Vibrator

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.

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!”
