2025 marks the ninth year of production for Prestige Trailers.

Optional Features

Enhancements to protect the trailer from damage caused by road debris, such as a closeout under the suspension and upper frame and a four-in-a-row flap, can be added.

An additional option available on this unit is a sight glass, allowing operators to monitor the remaining product level in the hoppers.

Landing Gear

The aluminum Jost landing gear is standard on the Distinction series trailer. It features a galvanized insert and comes with a 10-year warranty and a 5-year maintenance-free package.

Side Rails

The entire side rail component is vented aluminum, allowing any condensation or moisture to escape.

Chute Gates

Two chute gate sizes are available: a 25″ × 27″ and a 16″ × 24″ gate.

Each trailer comes standard with a stainless steel gate and rack. The system utilizes a rack-and-pinion design, running on nylong rollers and replaceable nylon strips. The door can be adjusted as need, and once that limit is reached, the nylon strips can be replaced.

Lighting

Truck-Lite supplies all lighting, and four lighting packages are available to suit your needs.

Two different light sizes are available on this specific trailer: the Model 33 penny light and the Model 22 brick light.

Regardless of the lighting package selected, the three rear lights in the center function as high-mount brake lights, while the two lights on the sides serve as signal lights, improving visibility and safety. The lower three lights operate as clearance lights, with the outermost lights also functioning as brake and signal indicators.

Fenders

The Distinction series trailers offer two fender options: a flat or half-round fender, available in stainless steel or poly.

Additionally, we have replaced the previous tube-style mount, which was prone to collecting rocks and stone chipping. Instead, we now use a stub shaft mounted onto a stainless steel bracket. This bracket is bolted directly to the frame, eliminating another stone-chipping and rust area.

Suspension and Wheel Options

We offer several different Hendrickson Intraax suspensions. Standard on all Distinction hopper trailers is the Henrickson Intraxx 23K Suspension.

The Hendrickson TIREMAAX Pro Inflation System is an excellent option for improved tire life. This system ensures that all tires remain at a consistent pressure.

Ladder System

At the rear of the trailer, one notable change is the redesigned ladder system. A fold-down ladder has been introduced. This ladder features a low entry point and an angled configuration for improved accessibility and ease of climbing. When not in use, the ladder folds away.

50-Foot Trailer Features

While the 50-foot Distinction trailer is identical in design to the tandems offered, there are some features unique to only this length of trailer.

A single wheel has been added to the back that can be lifted. To that single wheel, a quarter fender is added to prevent rocks from being thrown forward.

Another feature that’s standard on all 50-foot Distinction trailers is the two stiffener bands on the hoppers.
