The Vestil VESD-150-HD is a heavy-duty self-dumping steel hopper designed for industrial material handling. It dumps automatically when the bumper release contacts the side of the dumpster, and then returns to an upright, locked position after dumping. A cable is included for manual dumping from a forklift seat, providing an extra operation option when needed. The unit ships with a safety restraint to secure the hopper to the fork truck prior to dumping, ensuring controlled, safe operation.
Constructed from steel and finished in blue, this hopper features a full-length fork tube for a stable base during transport and dumping. The eight-gauge steel construction supports demanding loads, with a usable capacity of 6,000 lb and a nominal volume of 1-1/2 cubic yards. The design includes precise dimensions for fork pockets: center-to-center 28 in., usable fork pocket width 7-1/2 in., and usable height 2-1/2 in., which influence compatibility with standard forklifts and installation on compatible trucks. The product includes a 48-inch cable for manual control, expanding operator flexibility in varying work conditions.
Typical applications involve aggressive waste and material collection in facilities where automated dumping improves throughput and reduces manual handling time. When considering use, verify the hopper’s compatibility with your existing dumpster or receptacle size and ensure the forklift setup accommodates the fork pocket dimensions. Regular maintenance should focus on inspecting the bumper release mechanism, the return-to-lock action, and the integrity of the safety restraint to maintain proper functionality over time.
