Hercules Self-Dumping Steel Hopper

The Hercules Self-Dumping Steel Hopper is designed for collecting, transporting and dumping heavy debris in stone fabrication shops, warehouses and industrial work areas. Its heavy-duty steel construction, robotic welds and powder-coated finish support demanding commercial use.

The self-dumping mechanism allows the forklift operator to unlock the release lever and pull the release cable from the operating position. This allows the hopper to discharge its contents without requiring the operator to leave the forklift.

With a maximum weight capacity of 4,000 pounds and a volume capacity of 2 cubic yards, the hopper can be used for stone scraps, countertop cutoffs, packaging materials and other bulk shop debris. Integrated fork pockets and a forklift safety chain support secure handling during transport and dumping.
