Hoppers

Hoppers are important machines for several different industries. At construction sites, where wood and steel off cuts, empty cement bags and other rubble that collects rapidly. There is no easier way to clear the working area fast than with a hopper. If it also has casters attached, it can be rolled from area to area, making cleanup that much easier.

Another industry where hoppers are vital to production is food service. The food service industry produces large volumes of organic waste. Self dumping hoppers are perfect for the waste storage. They are seamless and watertight, no leakage and the lid eliminates unpleasant odors.

Self dumping hoppers are also ideal for those situations when large volumes of small parts or other materials make transport with lift truck forks impractical or impossible. They are not only economical and versatile but a vital part of any industrial setting.
