Welcome to Generation 5 of the original Gold Trek Ultralight Backpack Highbankers by Crux Prospecting!
Our Gen 5 Pro series come with new upgrades using everything we’ve learned through feedback from our amazing customers and our own testing.
This generation is made with a brand new composite polycarbonate formulation aiming for the perfect balance between the stability and wear resistance of the original Pro systems and the weight and impact resistance of the Lite systems. And we think we’ve nailed it.
Gen 5 Gold Trek PRO Upgraded Features:
- Reformulated body material for extreme impact resistance, strength and durability with extremely high and low temp tolerances.
- All come standard with CARBON FIBER Legs and Brackets for maximum stability and reduced vibration when processing full shovels of paydirt.
- Increased the thickness of the water line bezel for added wear resistance and added fasteners to maintain a consistent spray pattern and prevent leaks.
- Updated stamped aluminum hopper pivot reinforcing clips.
- All Gen 5 Pro systems also come with our NEW skip-drop riffle matting and strengthened Mat Hold Down Strips.

Yes, hello my unit still hasn’t arrived in the mail yet. I think it’s gotten held up by UPS for some reason and the last I think I heard from tracking was they were expecting it to be delivered on the ninth but I don’t remember right now. It still hasn’t come and I thought that might not have been normal so if you could look into it for me, I would appreciate it. OK thanks so much for the help.
Prospectors Game Changer
I love everything about this highbanker. It is so compact and easy to set up and use. I am able to pack in everything I need in one trip. I can process way more material not having to classify. The Clay Claw is a must have in my opinion. I use it to hold the material in a little longer to wash every speck of gold off the rocks. The mats are great for catching even the smallest pieces of gold and nearly all the gold is caught in the top section of the mat.
This makes prospecting so much more Fun and Productive. Absolutely LOVE it.
Blown away
Not only was Cyle super awesome through the whole process the system itself speaks volumes. The compactness of the unit as well as performance of the mats with or without the extensions are hard to compare anything else too! Also purchased with the unit the clay claw an at first wasn’t to satisfied using it till I figured out my pump was the issue not the unit after getting a functional pump my overall thoughts have changed an I would not withdraw my purchase or thought about buying it. I will definitely be back my question is can you make the composite in pink for the daughter think that would definitely bring little ladies into the hobby?! All in all 10/10 thanks again Cyle! Heavy pans!
