Open Side Self-Dumping Hoppers for Oversized Material Handling Open side self-dumping hoppers provide a practical forklift-handled solution for collecting, moving, and unloading oversized materials, scrap, bulky parts, and loose debris. Designed for manufacturing plants, warehouses, fabrication shops, maintenance areas, construction sites, and material handling operations, these hoppers make it easier to load and discharge items that may not fit well in fully enclosed hopper designs. Open Side Loading and Unloading The open side design allows long or awkward materials to be loaded and unloaded with less obstruction. This helps reduce manual handling, improves access around the hopper, and supports smoother material flow during discharge. Automatic and Manual Dumping The bumper release system automatically dumps the hopper when it contacts the front of a dumpster or discharge point. A manual pull cable is also included, allowing the forklift operator to dump the hopper from the seat when needed. After dumping, the hopper returns to an upright and locked position.
