Grain trailer alignment made simple
Sudenga’s Stop Assist is a must-have for any grain trailer that regularly returns to the same loading or unloading location. The simple system helps drivers line up accurately and consistently, without the ongoing guesswork.
Keep the Stop Assist with your grain truck and take it wherever you need to establish a repeatable stopping point. The first time you arrive, line up the trailer correctly beneath the loading or unloading equipment. Then place the Stop Assist main unit beside the trailer and attach the reflector/indicator at the proper location on the vehicle.
When the truck returns, Stop Assist provides both visual and audible alerts as the trailer reaches the established position. Lights on the front, sides, and top of the unit help ensure the signal is visible from nearly any angle, while the audible alert provides added confirmation. The driver can stop on target without repeatedly leaving the cab or depending on another person to serve as a spotter.
A consistent stopping point saves more than a few steps. It helps keep trucks moving, reduces delays during busy unloading periods, and gives every driver the same clear alignment point. That means less repositioning, fewer spills, and a smoother process from one load to the next.
Equip additional grain trucks with reflectors
If several grain trucks use the same loading or unloading location, additional reflectors are available as an easy add-on purchase. Attach a reflector/indicator to each trailer, and they can all use the same Stop Assist main unit. There is no need to purchase a separate unit for every truck.
This is especially helpful for farms with multiple trucks, seasonal drivers, or other grain trailers regularly coming through the operation. Each vehicle can be prepared ahead of time, creating a smoother and more consistent process for everyone.
For anyone looking for an easy way to line up a grain trailer, Stop Assist offers a practical solution: bring it along, establish the correct position, and make every trip afterward easier.
