AutoTrap\u2122 combines the best elements of Shur-Co\u00ae SMARTrailer\u2122 design! You get a compact, high-clearance system at an affordable price, with patented SMARTwire\u2122 connections and built-in compatability with our ShurLink PRO\u2122<\/a> and ShurLink EZR\u2122<\/a><\/strong> remotes.<\/p>\n

The thru-bore motor design of the AutoTrap\u2122 has performance characteristics comparable to our ProTrap\u00ae<\/a> system, but in a more compact size and weight \u2013 nearly 40% lighter! This design also allows for easy one-bolt conversion to manual operation, if necessary. The protective polymer sleeve acts as a corrosion barrier between drive shaft and motor.<\/p>\n

This system has a one-size-fits all design, to interface with 1-inch, 7\/8-inch or 3\/4-inch crank shafts. Wireless operation via pre-programmed ShurLink PRO\u2122 or ShurLink EZR\u2122 remote is standard while push-button controls at each opener are also included.<\/p>\n

Available in 1-hopper, 2-hopper, 3-hopper and 4-hopper stand-alone configurations or in combination with 4500 Series HD<\/a> electric tarps, AutoTrap\u2122 is the industry\u2019s premium choice in electric hopper openers.<\/p>\n
