Order cutoff: 5:00 PM Eastern Time Lead time: 1 to 3 business days for stocked items. Many Vestil products are built to order and can take up to 9 weeks to ship. Transit time: 3 to 7 business days
These are estimates, not guarantees. We do not warehouse equipment ourselves — your order is placed with the manufacturer once you buy, and most items are released for shipment within 1 to 3 business days. If your item is on back-order, or the manufacturer confirms a longer lead time, we will contact you promptly and you may cancel for a full refund with no fee.
Standard shipping (free on every order) is curbside or dock-to-dock delivery to a commercial address in the 48 contiguous states and DC, or parcel delivery for smaller items. We are not currently set up to ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or other US territories. Liftgate, residential, limited-access and inside delivery, rigging and crating are not included — typically $150 to several hundred dollars, quoted in writing and charged only with your prior approval.
Freight deliveries require a scheduled appointment and someone must be present to sign. Need a firm date before you buy? Call (720) 575-1376 or email support@techforgedirect.com with the model number.

What is your Return Policy?
30 days to request a return from the date you receive your order. Email support@techforgedirect.com with your order number and reason. We will assess your request and, once approved, send you an RMA number and detailed instructions. Do not ship anything back before you have an RMA number.
1. Return shipping costs
You as the customer are responsible for paying the return shipping costs of the items in your order. On freight-shipped machinery this can be substantial — we quote the exact amount in writing before you commit, so you decide with the full figure in front of you.
2. Preparing your return
Parcel-sized items: we email you a return label, and its cost is deducted from your refund. Freight items are collected under a bill of lading we arrange. The item must be unopened, unused and in delivery condition, including all original packaging and accessories, in a condition such that it can be re-sold as new. Machinery must not have been wired in or powered on. Photographic evidence is required.
3. Restocking fee
Change-of-mind returns carry a 25% restocking fee, deducted from your refund. On a $10,000 machine that is $2,500.
4. Damaged or incorrect products
Note it immediately when signing for delivery and send photographs to support@techforgedirect.com the day of delivery. We will ensure you get the correct product you ordered, undamaged, as soon as possible, at no cost to you — no return shipping charge and no restocking fee.
5. Refunds
Processed within 7 business days of your returned item being received and inspected.
6. Cancellations
Cancel any time before your order ships for a full refund with no fee.
Self-Dumping Steel Hoppers with Fold-Down Front for Shovel Loading
Self-dumping steel hoppers with a fold-down front provide a practical solution for collecting, loading, transporting, and dumping bulk materials, scrap, chips, waste, and debris. Designed for manufacturing plants, fabrication shops, warehouses, construction sites, maintenance areas, and material handling operations, these hoppers make low-profile loading easier while supporting efficient forklift dumping.
Fold-Down Front Loading Design
The drop-down front serves as a convenient ramp, allowing operators to shovel, slide, or place materials into the hopper with less lifting. Manual hand latches secure the front panel during transport and dumping, helping keep materials contained until the hopper is ready to discharge.
Forklift Dumping Operation
A manual pull cable allows the hopper to be dumped from the seat of a fork truck, helping the operator stay at the controls during unloading. The full 90 degree dump angle supports complete material discharge, and the hopper returns to the upright position when lowered to the ground.
Duty Levels and Capacities
This family includes light duty, medium duty, and heavy duty steel models with capacities from 2,000 lb. to 6,000 lb. Volumes range from 1/4 cubic yard to 1-1/2 cubic yards. Steel construction, a blue powder-coated finish, and a galvanized base provide durability for daily industrial use.
For optimum storage, disposal, & transport of bulk materials
Heavily reinforced fold down front for easier loading and unloading
Full 90 degree dumping
Dual ramp latching system
Ramp may be lowered and Easily loaded & unloaded
