The Vestil VESD-200-LD Self-Dump Hopper is a light-duty steel recycling and waste-handling hopper designed for reliable, on-demand dumping in manufacturing and distribution environments. It features an automatic bumper release that dumps when it contacts the side of the dumpster, and returns to its upright, locked position after dumping, helping to minimize downtime and keep aisles clear. A full-length fork tube base provides a stable support platform, while a built-in safety restraint keeps the hopper securely attached to the forklift during operation. An additional pulling option is available via a 48-inch cable that allows manual dumping from the seat of the forklift, adding flexibility for different working conditions.
Constructed from steel and finished in blue, this 2 cubic yard hopper has a 2,000 lb usable capacity, suitable for handling sizable loads typical in light-duty material handling tasks. The design accommodates straightforward integration with standard fork trucks, with fork pockets centered at 28 inches and usable pocket dimensions of 7-1/2 inches wide by 2-1/2 inches high, aiding in stable engagement and safe transport. The hopper is stackable when the top unit is rotated 90 degrees relative to the bottom, enabling compact storage when not in use. The long 48-inch cable adds versatility by enabling controlled dumping from the forklift seat, which can improve operator efficiency in space-constrained areas.
When choosing this hopper, consider the typical waste profile and the forklift fleet’s reach and maneuverability. The 2,000 lb capacity should align with your aggregate load expectations, while the 2 cubic yard volume defines how many loads can be accumulated before dumping. Ensure compatibility with your forklift’s fork pockets and that maintenance checks verify the automatic return and bumper-dump mechanism after each use to maintain consistent performance.
