Vestil Manufacturing D-200-LD Self-dumping Forklift Hopper

Product Description

The VESTIL MANUFACTURING D-200-LD is a light-duty steel self-dumping forklift hopper rated for 2,000 pounds and 2 cubic yards of capacity. It features a bumper release mechanism that automatically dumps the load when the hopper contacts the side of a dumpster, then automatically returns to an upright and locked position after dumping. A 4-foot cable is included for manual operation from the forklift seat, giving the operator full control without dismounting. A safety restraint secures the hopper to the forks during transport. Finished in a powder coat blue, this hopper is built for repeated, high-cycle waste handling and material disposal applications in industrial and warehouse environments.

This hopper is intended for use with standard sit-down counterbalance forklifts in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and similar industrial settings. The usable fork pockets measure 7.5 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall, accommodating standard forklift tine profiles. The unit rotates approximately 68 degrees during the dump cycle, providing reliable clearance over a standard dumpster wall. It is suited for light-duty scrap, waste, and bulk material collection where frequent dumping cycles are required.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified forklift operators or industrial equipment technicians familiar with OSHA material-handling guidelines. Verify the forklift's rated capacity meets or exceeds the combined weight of the hopper and its loaded contents before use. Attach the safety restraint to the forklift carriage before lifting, and connect the manual dump cable before placing the unit into service. Do not exceed the rated 2,000-pound load capacity.
