FAQ
How much weight can a 5 cubic yard self-dumping hopper hold?
Capacity is 4000lbs but it depends heavily on material density. Light packaging weighs far less than metal scrap or rubble. Choose based on your material type and forklift capacity.
Does the hopper reset/lock after dumping?
Yes, when properly emptied it is designed to come back on it's own.
Is a safety chain included?
A Safety chain is optional—add-on is available. Inquire and Confirm on your build spec.
Can you customize this hopper?
Yes—common customizations include Height, Width and Length, casters, lids, fork pocket sizing, heavy-duty reinforcement, and custom colors.
