1-1/2 Cubic Yard MECO Medium Duty Self-Dumping Hopper | SDHM150 Built tough for demanding material handling, the SDHM150 is a 1-1/2 cubic yard medium duty self-dumping hopper from MECO Omaha. Constructed from 12-gauge welded steel with a 7-gauge base, it handles loads up to 2,000 lbs and ships fully assembled — ready to work the moment it arrives. Precisely balanced to tip forward for complete discharge of contents, then automatically return to an upright, locked position. A positive locking latch prevents accidental dumping. Welded seams throughout ensure a watertight interior for wet or dry materials. A 2" formed top lip adds rigidity and eliminates sharp edges. A safety chain secures the hopper to the handling vehicle during dumping. Add a Caster Kit — Add Mobility to Your Hopper Casters free your forklift for other tasks and give your hopper full mobility across your facility. Available in 6" or 8" diameter — choose the wheel composition that matches your floor surface and load: Mold-On Rubber — Best for smooth concrete or tile floors. Quieter operation, protects flooring. Steel — Maximum durability for heavy loads. Best for rough or uneven industrial floors. Phenolic — Hard resin wheel. High load capacity, resistant to oils and solvents. Polyurethane — Good all-around choice. Non-marking, quieter than steel, harder than rubber.
