One of our most popular hopper styles are self-dumping hoppers, these industrial garbage bins are equipped with a release that can unload at various heights, tilts forward and then back up to an upright position without assistance. A self-dumping hopper can also managed by forklift and is sometimes referred to as a forklift hopper. Self-dumping hoppers are available in multiple configurations, weight capacities, sizes and finishes.

Forklift Self Dumping Hopper
The Series 90 Self Dumping Hopper is designed for forklift handling. Easy dump release: while seated on forklift, operator simply pulls the dump cable to release the spring-loaded latch for a full 90° tilt. Hopper returns to an upright position when lowered to the ground. A positive locking mechanism prevents accidental dumping while a safety chain secures the hopper to the forklift. Available in orange or gray enamel. Hoppers will be painted orange unless suffix “-G” is added to the model number.

Self Dumping Hopper Accessories
