More information on popular self-dumping forklift hopper options:
Casters
A simple addition with a huge effect. Add ease of movement within your shop without using a forktruck, saving on propane and forklift wear and tear.
Automatic Dump-From-Seat™
A nylon leash extends or retracts as needed. The latch rope reel has a magnetic mounting clip, keeping the reel on the hopper when not in use. When in use, simply stick it to the forklift frame. To dump your trash hopper, just lock the thumb button and pull. After dumping, tilt the forklift mast back and the hopper will automatically roll back into its locked position again.
Automatic Push-and-Dump™ On Our Self Dumping Hoppers
The Automatic Push and Dump™ is designed for dumping into roll-offs or other large waste containers. By pushing the latch push tube gently against the edge of the large waste container, the hopper latch is released, dumping the scrap material quickly.
3" Fork Pockets
Have more space for thicker and heavy-duty fork attachments by upgrading from the standard 2-1/2" pockets to 3" fork pockets.
Fluid Reclaim Option
In sizes 1/8 yard to 2 yards, we can add a drainage hole at the bottom of your hopper. This allows you to drain liquid before dumping your hopper.
Skid Steer Quick Attach
Use a self-dumping hopper on your farm, construction site, and other off-road areas with a skid steer quick attachment. Available on hoppers 3.75' to 10' wide.

Testimonials
Self-dumping forklift hoppers are designed to allow forklifts and other equipment with fork attachments to dump materials and scrap without any additional motors or pulleys being needed.
There is a release latch on self-dumping trash hoppers which allow the hopper to be easily dumped and emptied. When the load is dumped, the hopper closes on its own, and the release latch becomes locked.
Because they can be easily moved and dumped with a forklift, self-dumping hoppers are valuable in helping manufacturing plants catch, move, and discard scrap material.
This results in a safer workplace, cleaner shop floors, happier employees, and a more efficient manufacturing plant.
What Makes Iron Bull's Heavy Duty Trash Hoppers Unique?
Here at Iron Bull, we have done extensive research on many kinds of hoppers available in today's market.
We understand that there are many factors that go into making a safe, durable, and truly efficient self-dumping hopper. Some of these factors are the steel thickness, overall design, and the way the hopper is put together in the manufacturing process.
We have taken the strong points of other self-dumping dumpsters and put them into a single package in our deluxe heavy-duty hopper line:
- Wrap around lip on back corners
- Welded reinforcing angle around top edge
- Side of hopper extending down past the bottom and welded solid
- Welded gussets on inside front corners
These features, put together in one single hopper, add up to a well-built unit with great structural integrity.
Choosing the Hopper Steel Thickness
One of the most important factors in a hopper's structural integrity is the steel thickness.
The thicker or heavier the steel, the greater the hopper strength. Thicker steel also has greater resistance to “dings and dents” and punctures from heavy material or careless forktruck operation.
Each forklift dump hopper size has different steel thicknesses to choose from. The steel thickness of the hopper and the hopper base design determine the duty rating and rate capacity rating.
The duty ratings are an important selection factor. For instance, if the material being put into the hopper are heavy chunks of hardwood or metal that will fall with some force, then, even if the weight of a full hopper is less than the weight capacity, a heavier duty hopper will be a better choice.
The thicker steel in the heavier duty hopper will have greater “ding and dent” resistance which of course means fewer repairs and longer hopper life.
