Self-Dumping Hoppers

Self-Dumping Hoppers & Tilt Trucks for Industrial Material Handling

CustomMHS.com carries a full line of self-dumping hoppers and tilt trucks from leading manufacturers, including Jesco, MECO, Vestil, Akro-Mils, and Bayhead. Each hopper is constructed from heavy-gauge steel and engineered for safe, repeatable dumping of scrap, waste, and bulk materials in demanding industrial environments.

Self-dumping hoppers simplify the collection, transport, and discharge of scrap, waste, and bulk materials in industrial environments. Designed for forklift use, these hoppers allow operators to move and dump materials safely without excessive manual handling. Available in sizes from 0.25 to 4 cubic yards with capacities up to 6,000 pounds, they support applications ranging from small work cells to high-volume production areas.

Manual scrap handling slows production and increases safety risks. Self-dumping hoppers provide a controlled, repeatable way to manage material flow while reducing lifting, shoveling, and clutter around work areas. By allowing a single operator to quickly collect and discharge material, these hoppers improve housekeeping, reduce downtime, and keep scrap moving consistently through your facility.

Selecting the Right Type:

♦ Capacity: choose from 2,000 up to 6,000 lb based on the weight of material handled per load.
♦ Body gauge, heavier gauge steel (7-gauge or thicker) suits high-impact scrap and debris, while lighter 12-gauge suits general waste.
♦ Application: choose Chip Trucks for metal shavings, Parts Hoppers for smaller components, or Chute Hoppers for gravity-fed material collection.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Manufacturing Floors: self-dumping hoppers collect and discharge scrap without manual shoveling.
♦ Machine shops and chip trucks manage metal shavings and cutting waste.
♦ Warehouses and Distribution Centers: tilt trucks support the handling of general waste and bulk materials.
♦ High-Volume Production Areas: larger-capacity hoppers reduce downtime from frequent emptying.

CustomMHS carries the full line of Jesco, MECO, Vestil, Akro-Mils, and Bayhead hoppers and tilt trucks, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.
