Auto Release Tipping Hoppers

The conventional tipping hopper has now been taken to the next stage.

Using the Auto-Release Tipping Hopper, the fork truck driver can now dispose of the contents in a safe manner, without leaving the cab.

As with conventional tipping hoppers, the Auto-Release hopper has many uses in Industry and the building trade. For example, when used for collecting machine waste, the hopper proves to be convenient and safe. The compact size and maneuverability saves space and time in the busy workshop.

How does it work?

The operation of the Auto-Release Tipping Hopper is as follows:

Firstly the hopper is driven up to the container into which it is being emptied.

  

When the front of the hopper comes into contact with the container into which it is being emptied or any other fixed edge, two spring loaded buffers release a locking hook allowing the full hopper to roll forward and empty it's contents. The empty hopper will then roll back and automatically lock in the original position ready for use.

 

All hoppers are fitted with safety catches to prevent accidental tipping. A safety chain is also fitted and used when the hopper is lifted, this is to prevent the hopper from sliding forward on the forks. 

Options

Castors can be fitted, giving the ability to move the hopper by hand to collect waste from several locations or to positions not reached by fork trucks.
Rope hooks may be added as an option to allow the hopper to be fitted with a plastic sheet cover.
Fixed self opening steel lid covers are available to avoid spillage.
