Forklift Drop Bottom Hoppers for Fast Bulk Material Dumping Forklift drop bottom hoppers provide an efficient solution for collecting, transporting, and dumping bulk materials in warehouses, manufacturing plants, recycling areas, maintenance departments, and construction-related work zones. The bottom dump design helps maximize usable hopper space by eliminating the steep angled sides found on many standard self-dumping hoppers. Bottom Dump Efficiency The open top design makes loading scrap, debris, parts, waste, and bulk material straightforward. A single bottom door opens to discharge contents quickly, helping reduce downtime and improve cleanup or material transfer productivity. The pull cable allows the operator to release the bottom hatch from the fork truck seat. Fork Truck Handling Built-in fork pockets allow the hopper to be lifted from above so the bottom door can open freely during dumping. Usable fork pockets measure 8 inches by 2-1/2 inches on 24 inch centers. A safety restraint secures the hopper to the fork truck during handling. Capacity and Construction This 1 cubic yard hopper supports 3,000 lb. capacity and features a tough baked-in blue powder coat finish for long service life in industrial environments. Operators should follow fork truck manufacturer load center ratings and never use the attachment if the load will exceed the fork truck’s rated capacity.Models & Specifications Model # Description List Price DBH-100-3 DROP BOTTOM HOPPER 1 CU YD 3K BLUE $1,048.77 Frequently Asked QuestionsHow do I choose the right model?
