The 2014 edition of the International Truck Trailer & Equipment Show (ITTES) will not only be the largest trucking event ever staged in Australia, but also see the introduction of a new brand, Hopper Trailers Australia.
“The ITTES in April will be all about getting the Hopper name out there,” said Manager, Peter Sinclair. “The company has just been formed and is specialising in the distribution, sales and support of Timpte Hopper Trailers, North America’s leading hopper trailer manufacturer.”
Since 2009, more than 50 Timpte trailer’s have gone into operation across Australia, and according to Sinclair, all of them are still going strong. “The success of the first batch has encouraged us to established a fully fledged brand,” he said. “Demand in the agricultural industry has been overwhelming, so going all in just made sense to us.”
According to Sinclair, no stone was left unturned when adjusting the US hopper design to the Australian environment. “Timpte has been manufacturing bulk commodity trailers for over 12 decades, and they design strength and performance into each new trailer and this Australian trailer is no exception,” he said, revealing that Hopper Trailers’ ITTES stand will display see a new B-double set specially designed for Australian conditions.
