The Vestil D-200-HD Self-Dump Hopper is a heavy-duty steel container designed for efficient on-site material handling and waste management. With a listed capacity of 2 cubic yards and a 6,000 lb usable load rating, this hopper is built to handle dense loads and frequent dumping cycles in industrial settings. The unit features full-length fork tubes that provide a stable base when attached to a forklift, and a bumper-release mechanism that automatically dumps the hopper upon contact with the dumpster’s side. After dumping, the hopper returns to its upright, locked position, helping to maintain containment and reduce downtime. A manual dump option is available via a cable that extends 48 inches, allowing forklift operators to initiate a dump from the operator seat if necessary. A safety restraint is included to secure the hopper to the forklift during operation, supporting safer handling of heavy or awkward loads.
Constructed from steel and finished in blue, the D-200-HD is designed for rugged environments where frequent dumping and material transfer occur. The design includes precise dimensions for fork pockets, including a 28-inch center-to-center fork pocket distance, with usable fork pocket width of 7-1/2 inches and a usable height of 2-1/2 inches. These specifications help ensure compatibility with common fork truck configurations and safe engagement during lifting and dumping. The unit is typically used in facilities that generate bulk waste, scrap, or recyclable materials, and its automatic dumping feature can boost productivity by reducing manual handling steps. Proper use requires securing the safety restraint to the forklift prior to dumping and adhering to standard operating procedures for self-dumping equipment.
