Subject: RE: Hopper bottom 102'' wide



we have a 78x102 and a 78x96, both 42' long Timpte's on air, only difference is one has an alu. sub frame.

Can't tell the difference unless you get in some very, very tight spots around old elevators where you probably shouldn't be anyway. One elevator we had to jack knife to get in the door to load with the 96 and still only had a couple inches to spare, never bothered to take the other one there to load. Finally quit going all together, one of my better decisions.

If you're hauling bulky products and need the room, the wider hopper doors will probably help also. With sbm we don't have to bang on the wide doors quite so much to get it going, after that you can't tell the difference.

Most of the time we have to look at something specific to make sure which trailer we're pulling.
