The Vestil VESD-200-MD is a medium duty self-dumping steel hopper designed for efficient material handling in industrial settings. It features an automatic bumper-release system that dumps when the hopper contacts the side of a dumpster, ensuring quick, hands-free unloading. After dumping, the unit returns to an upright, locked position, allowing continuous operation with minimal downtime. A full-length fork tube provides a stable base for mounting and maneuvering, while a safety restraint is included to secure the hopper to the fork truck during use. A 48-inch cable offers an optional manual dump from the operator seat, adding versatility for controlled dumping when needed. The hopper is finished in blue and constructed from steel to withstand everyday industrial use.
Key construction and distinguishing details include the integrated bumper-release mechanism that activates on impact with the dumpster, and the automatic return to locked position that helps maintain operator safety and workflow efficiency. The 2 cubic yard (usable) capacity and a 4,000 lb uniform capacity outline the hopper’s payload range, suitable for mid-volume waste and bulk material tasks. The design also provides practical considerations for integration, such as standard fork pockets with a center distance of 28 inches and usable fork pocket widths and heights that accommodate common fork truck configurations. The 10-gauge steel construction offers a robust, reliable shell for daily dumping operations, while the 48-inch control cable expands dumping options beyond automated triggers.
This unit is ideal for facilities that require a self-dumping solution matched to a 2 cubic yard capacity, with the option to operate manually from the fork truck seat. When selecting and installing, confirm compatibility with your fork truck’s fork pockets and ensure the safety restraint is properly secured before dumping. Package is listed as Each, with standard blue finish and steel construction to meet typical material handling demands.
