Product Description

Forklift Drop Bottom Hoppers for Fast Bulk Material Dumping

Forklift drop bottom hoppers provide an efficient solution for collecting, transporting, and dumping bulk materials in warehouses, manufacturing plants, recycling areas, maintenance departments, and construction-related work zones. The bottom dump design helps maximize usable hopper space by eliminating the steep angled sides found on many standard self-dumping hoppers.

Bottom Dump Efficiency

The open top design makes loading scrap, debris, parts, waste, and bulk material straightforward. A single bottom door opens to discharge contents quickly, helping reduce downtime and improve cleanup or material transfer productivity. The pull cable allows the operator to release the bottom hatch from the fork truck seat.

Fork Truck Handling

Built-in fork pockets allow the hopper to be lifted from above so the bottom door can open freely during dumping. Usable fork pockets measure 8 inches by 2-1/2 inches on 24 inch centers. A safety restraint secures the hopper to the fork truck during handling.

Capacity and Construction

This 1 cubic yard hopper supports 3,000 lb. capacity and features a tough baked-in blue powder coat finish for long service life in industrial environments. Operators should follow fork truck manufacturer load center ratings and never use the attachment if the load will exceed the fork truck’s rated capacity.

Model Details

A hopper with a bottom dump feature is a unique design not typical to classic hoppers. With a bottom dump hopper there is limited wasted space. Unlike standard hoppers that have angled sides to encourage the product to flow out, the bottom dump hopper utilizes all of the space in the hopper. There are built-in fork pockets to pick up hopper from the top, allowing the bottom to open and the hopper to be quickly emptied. An attached cable lets the user continue to be seated while opening the bottom hatch, minimizing down time and the need for additional personnel. Blue powder coat finish.
