GEFFS MANUFACTURING, INC. CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH A NEW FACTORY INSTALLED EXPANDABLE HOPPER WITH OUR RATE AND GATE CONTROL SYSTEM.
Our expandable hopper measures 10 ft 8 inches when closed for travel, and 17 foot 6 inches when fully expanded, giving you total versatility for whatever your road width. Each gate is equipped with a computer controlled air cylinder for closing or opening your spread width on the fly. The gates are controlled hydraulically for rate of application of aggregate. Each gate has a rubber liner attached to reduce wear. Hydraulically driven agitators and augers provide movement of aggregate to the outer ends of the hopper when expanded. This is a hopper design that has proven itself for almost 20 years.
