The Vestil D-250-HD Self-Dump Hopper is a heavy‑duty, steel waste receptacle designed for fast, hands‑free dumping in industrial settings. Built with a sturdy 8-gauge steel body and an 2.5 cubic yard capacity, this hopper uses an automatic bumper release system: when the bumper contacts the side of a dumpster, the hopper dumps its load and then returns to an upright, locked position automatically. A full‑length fork tube base provides a solid, stable seating platform on the forklift, while a 48-inch cable offers an optional manual dump control from the forklift seat if precise placement or controlled unloading is required. A safety restraint is included to secure the hopper to the forklift during operation, which is essential for stable handling during dumping cycles. The unit is finished in blue for visibility and identification in busy material‑handling environments.
This model is purpose‑built for applications that involve frequent loading and unloading of bulk materials from a stationary container or dumpster. Its automatic dump mechanism reduces manual handling and can improve cycle times, but proper use requires securing the restraint to the fork truck before dumping and ensuring operators are trained on the bumper release interaction. Consider the overall system geometry, including fork pocket dimensions and clearances, to ensure proper fit and safe operation within your facility.
Compatibility and sizing specifics include 28-inch fork pocket centers, a usable fork pocket width of 7.5 inches and height of 2.5 inches, and a standard 6,000 lb usable capacity. The included cable is 48 inches long, allowing reach to the forklift cab for manual dumps if needed. Package is listed as Each.
