The Vestil D-100-LD Self-Dump Hopper is a light-duty steel hopper designed to attach to a forklift for automated dumping of collected materials. When the bumper release along the side of the dumpster is contacted, the hopper automatically dumps its load and then returns to an upright, locked position. For manual operation, a 48-inch cable is included that can be used from the forklift seat to trigger a dump. A full-length fork tube provides a stable base, and a safety restraint is included to secure the hopper to the forklift before dumping. The unit is finished in blue and has a 1 cubic yard usable capacity with a 2,000 lb uniform capacity rating, making it suitable for light- to moderate-duty material handling tasks where quick, controlled dumping is beneficial.
Constructed from 12-gauge steel, the hopper emphasizes durability while remaining compatible with standard fork pockets. Its design accommodates stacking—top hoppers can be rotated 90 degrees relative to the bottom hopper for storage efficiency when not in use. The combination of automatic dumping, upright locking return, and the manual dump option provides flexibility for varied workflows. When planning use, ensure the safety restraint is properly secured to the forklift prior to dumping and follow standard operating procedures for forklift-assisted dumping.
