Low Profile Hoppers

What Makes Iron Bull's Low Profile Self-Dumping 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 low profile hopper with a self-dumping capability.  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 and low profile hoppers and put them into a single package:

• 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 Low Profile Hopper Thickness

One of the most important factors in a hopper's structural integrity is the steel thickness.

Like any steel product, the thicker the steel is, the greater the strength of the hopper. Thicker steel also has greater resistance to “dings and dents” and punctures from heavy material or careless forklift driving.

Each low profile hopper series has several steel thicknesses to choose from. The steel thickness of the hopper and the hopper base design determine the hopper's overall duty rating.

The duty ratings are an important selection factor. For example, a low profile hopper being used for scrap pieces of trim at a woodshop does not need to have the same overall duty of heavy metal scraps in a metal fabrication shop.

The thicker steel in the heavier duty hopper will have greater “ding and dent” resistance.  This means fewer repairs and longer hopper life.
