Wright® Steel Front Dump Self Dumping Hopper 4 Cu. Yd. 7000 lb. Capacity Gray

Description

Our front dump hoppers are designed for forward dumping efficiency in tight workspaces. Built for safety and ease of use operators simply unlock the latch attach the safety chain and push the hopper forward-automatically engaging the front door for clean dumping. Once complete the hopper rolls back and re-latches on its own ready for the next load. Safety and precision in one streamlined solution.

Dumping hopper

Keeping the mast tilted back unlock the safety latch and attach the safety chain to the mast of the forklift

Raise forks to desired dumping height/position

Then remaining clear of hopper (especially rocker area) drive slowly toward the edge of the roll-off bin/container

Slightly tilt the mast forward and release the handle to engage the hopper. Once engaged the hopper will tilt forward and the front door will open allowing contents to dump
