Pistachio Hopper Trailer Built for Faster, Cleaner Harvesting

Patent-Pending UHMW Door Technology | Grease-Free | Made for High-Volume Orchards

The Tuff Boy Pistachio Hopper Trailer is purpose-engineered for the extreme demands of pistachio harvest season. Designed for growers, processors, and contractors who move high volumes under tight timelines, this hopper delivers clean unloading, faster dump cycles, and significantly reduced maintenance—all powered by patent-pending proprietary technology competitors do not offer.

At the core of this trailer is Tuff Boy’s exclusive grease-free UHMW enclosed door system, a breakthrough innovation that eliminates the contamination, downtime, and wear associated with traditional open-rail hopper doors.


Why Tuff Boy Pistachio Hopper Trailers Are Different

Most hopper trailers on the market rely on open rails, exposed pins, and grease-dependent systems that collect dirt, require daily lubrication, and break down during peak harvest.

Tuff Boy engineered a better solution.

Patent-Pending Clean Enclosed Door System

The Tuff Boy Pistachio Hopper features a fully enclosed UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) slide door systemthat operates without grease.

This proprietary system delivers:

  • No exposed rails, pins, or gearboxes
  • No grease points or daily lubrication
  • No dirt buildup or contamination risk
  • Smooth, consistent operation in dusty orchards

Unlike competitors’ open designs, Tuff Boy’s sealed UHMW system stays clean, protected, and food-safe, even in the harshest Central Valley harvest conditions.

Less downtime. Lower maintenance costs. Longer trailer life.


Grease-Free UHMW Technology = Lower Cost of Ownership

Traditional hopper door systems:

  • Require constant greasing
  • Trap dust and debris
  • Wear prematurely
  • Increase downtime during harvest

Tuff Boy’s proprietary UHMW door technology:

  • Reduces maintenance labor
  • Extends component lifespan
  • Improves food safety compliance
  • Keeps crews hauling instead of servicing equipment

This is not an accessory—it’s a patent-pending platform that strengthens your operation’s long-term profitability.


Faster, Cleaner Unloading with Oversized Discharge Opening

48” x 34” Discharge Door (Competitors: 32” x 32”)

The Tuff Boy Pistachio Hopper unloads faster and cleaner thanks to:

  • Oversized discharge opening
  • Optimized internal dump angles
  • Zero bridging
  • Zero residue left behind

This means shorter dump cycles, cleaner transfers, and more loads moved per day during peak harvest.


Rack-and-Pinion Door Drive: Built to Outlast

Instead of outdated chain or slotted angle systems, Tuff Boy uses a heavy-duty rack-and-pinion gear drive for precise door control.

Advantages include:

  • No chain slop
  • Minimal wear over time
  • Consistent performance under full loads
  • Longer service life than competitive systems

This proprietary drive system works hand-in-hand with the UHMW door to deliver unmatched reliability.


10% More Capacity Without Sacrificing Maneuverability

  • 1,856 cubic feet of internal capacity
  • 10% more volume than legacy models
  • Fewer trips per load
  • Faster harvest cycles

Expanded capacity is achieved while maintaining orchard-ready maneuverability, making it ideal for pistachio operations with tight row spacing.
