Dura-Trap® Hopper Openers: Durable, Safe, and Easy-to-Use Electric Trap Openers

The Dura-Trap® Hopper Opener from Bismarck Canvas, Inc. is designed to provide safe, reliable, and efficient operation for agricultural hauling. Built for harsh environments and daily use, Dura-Trap® electric trap openers help operators open hopper doors quickly while reducing exposure to dust and debris.

With remote-controlled operation, users can open hopper doors at the push of a button, maintaining a safe distance and staying clear of airborne dust. Each Dura-Trap® system also includes a simple one-bolt manual bypass, allowing for emergency hand cranking when needed. A stainless steel shaft and thru-shaft design prevent seizing and ensure smooth manual operation.

The compact design offers four adjustable mounting positions, providing increased auger clearance and flexibility across various hopper and trailer configurations. Dura-Trap® units are widely recognized as one of the easiest hopper openers to install, featuring easy-mount brackets with four adjustment holes to raise or lower the unit to the desired height.

For long-term durability, each Dura-Trap® hopper opener uses continuous 6-gauge cables with no exposed splices, plugs, or terminal connections, minimizing corrosion and electrical failure. An impact-resistant shielding plate protects the motor and control box from debris caused by dirty or salty road conditions. The fully enclosed motor and controller keep all terminal connections sealed, making Dura-Trap® one of the most durable and reliable hopper openers on the market.

Dura-Trap® hopper openers can be operated using either a wireless remote or an on-unit switch, giving operators flexibility and control in any working condition. Built for agriculture and engineered to last, Dura-Trap® reflects Bismarck Canvas’s commitment to dependable, field-tested tarp and hopper solutions.
