MODERN EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC.
SELF DUMPING HOPPERS
WELDED WATERTIGHT. VERSATILE HOPPERS ARE EXCELLENT FOR HANDLING HEAVY, BULKY SCRAP,
IN-PROCESS MATERIALS, CASTINGS, WOOD AND METAL CHIPS, RECYCLABLES AND SLUDGE
These rugged, welded steel hoppers solve your bulk handling problems and
increase productivity—low cost means quick payback! Hoppers are designed for
forklift handling, dump safely from any height and are precisely balanced to tip
forward for complete discharge of contents and return to an upright position. For
wet or dry use. A positive locking latch prevents accidental dumping; 2” formed top
lips increase rigidity and eliminate sharp edges. A safety chain secures the hopper
to the handling vehicle. Empty units through 2 cubic yard size can be stacked up to
3 high for space savings (not to be stacked when loaded). Hoppers are shipped fully
assembled; choice of colors: orange or gray enamel (hoppers will be painted orange
unless suffix “– G” is added to the model number).
Choose the Extra Heavy Duty hoppers for the most demanding applications. Heavy
Duty hoppers and Medium Duty hoppers are available for loads that don’t require
the capacity of the Extra Heavy Duty models. Empty units through 2 cubic yards can
be interstacked up to 3 high with heavier or lighter models of like size.
Dimensions represent the overall width, length and height.
