Wellman bulk trailer hopper opener provides maximum operator safety and eliminates repetitive motion injuries

The Wellman bulk trailer hopper opener by Workmaster® was introduced in July to help eliminate safety and productivity problems with the dangerous, dirty, and slow job of unloading grain trailers.

Distributed by Airmatic Inc., Workmaster’s bulk trailer hopper opener is ergonomically designed for maximum operator safety and to eliminate repetitive motion injuries caused by hand-pull tools.

According to Airmatic Sales Director Bob Braun, “the Wellman trailer trap opener features efficient, explosion-proof electric over hydraulic power design, and the high and low torque design allows for opening traps in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications. The Wellman also offers significant time savings during high-volume and peak loading times.”

Enhanced Safety

“This hopper opener adapts quickly and easily to a variety of manufacturers’ trailer traps to enhance safety and prevent a variety of worker injuries from the repetitive motion of manually opening traps that are not maintained or are out of adjustment,” he adds. “The Wellman enables efficient use of workforce skill sets and doesn’t get tired.”
