Self dumping hoppers are tools that are convenient for loading, transport and dumping bulk and waste products in a safe and handy way. Even though they are low-tech and gravity operated, their role is still important and very useful. Let’s elaborate!
Most often, self dumping hoppers are attached to the forks of a lift truck, powered pallet lifter, or in some instances onto casters. While this is usually the case, there are some instances when the device is designed to sit permanently on top of dumpsters, storage containers, or other locations. When comparing the two types, the movable ones are definitely the more convenient option than the stationary ones. When attached to a vehicle, a self dumping steel hopper can easily be moved around a warehouse, manufacturing facility, or any workspace and filled with bulk materials, scrap, trash or any other items that need transportation.
