Forklift Industrial Hoppers

Self-dumping hoppers are used to hold and transport bulk materials and trash in a large container in machine shops, foundries, and construction sites. A built in locking latch that releases to allow the hoppers to tilt and dump their contents. The hoppers automatically return to their original locked position when empty. These hoppers have forklift pockets that allow this equipment to be used as an extension of your existing forklift.
