Rugged Vestil Low Profile Self-dumping Hoppers With Manual Release - 2,000 LB, D Series are dumped manually using a pull cable operated from the seat of the forklift. Self Dumping Hoppers automatically return to an upright and locked position after dumping. Hopper is secured to the forklift with a safety chain. These forklift dump hoppers ensure maximum worker safety, since the fork lift operator stays at the forklift controls when dumping, thus complying with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(m)(5)(iii). The low-profile design of these steel hoppers give the operator greater visibility, as the surroundings can be seen over the hopper. Full-length fork pockets add extra strength and stability, while the contoured edges help the contents pour freely out of the hopper when dumped. Models can be stacked if the top forklift hopper is turned 90 degrees from the bottom hopper. All steel construction with a powder coat finish for durability. Blue finish comes standard; see below for other available colors - please contact HOF for pricing.

Optional Casters (see options below)
When casters are ordered with hopper, quick-install caster pads are factory-welded to the base of the hopper.
The weight of the hopper must be subtracted from the rated caster capacity to calculate usable caster capacity.
When using casters, the maximum hopper capacity is the lower of the hopper capacity or the caster capacity.
