Vestil Hydraulic Self-Dumping Hoppers are designed for easy and fast dumping from the forklift cabin. These hydraulic hoppers connect to the forklift using the hydraulic hose hookup, allowing the forklift driver to dump the hopper and bring it back to the upright position, using the forklift levers. Models are available with capacities ranging from 1½ to 3 cubic yards, and can handle loads weighing up to 6,000 LBS. These forklift dump hoppers aid in complying with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(m)(5)(iii) since the fork lift operator stays at the forklift controls when dumping. The built-in fork pockets measure 7½"W x 2½"H on 28" centers. Vestil Hydraulic Self-Dumping Hoppers are built from 8-gauge steel with a powder coat finish for durability. Powder coat blue finish comes standard - other colors & galvanizing available - please contact HOF for information & 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.
