What is the load capacity of the Vestil Drop Bottom Hopper?
It is rated for 3,000 lb. That rating applies to model DBH-100-3, which is the only model in this line, so there is no higher- or lower-capacity version to step up or down to. Weigh your heaviest expected load, including moisture or compaction in the material, and confirm it stays within the 3,000 lb rating.
How much material does the hopper hold?
One cubic yard. With light material such as packaging waste or foam scrap, volume will usually be your limit before weight is. With dense material such as sand, casting sand or scrap metal, you will reach the 3,000 lb capacity well before the hopper is full. Check both the 1 cu yd volume and the 3,000 lb rating against your material's density.
What models, sizes and colors are available?
One: model DBH-100-3, listed as DROP BOTTOM HOPPER 1 CU YD 3K BLUE. Vestil builds a single configuration in this line at 1 cubic yard, 3,000 lb, in blue. There are no alternate sizes, capacities or finishes to select, so specifying this unit comes down to confirming that the volume and capacity suit your material.
What does it cost?
$1,048.77 for model DBH-100-3. Because only one model is offered, that is both the starting and the top price for this hopper — there are no option tiers or capacity upgrades that change it. Freight, delivery timing and any accessories are quoted separately and are not included in the listed price.
Where is it made and is it covered by a warranty?
It is made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing and carries a 1-Year Limited warranty. Refer to the warranty documentation supplied with the hopper for the exact terms, exclusions and claim process, since coverage conditions such as wear items and misuse are defined there rather than in the product specifications.
Who is this hopper not a good fit for?
Operations that move more than 3,000 lb or more than one cubic yard at a time. This is a single-size, single-capacity unit, so higher-volume material handling or heavier loads will require a different product. It is also intended for loose bulk material rather than palletized goods or oversized rigid items that will not clear the hopper opening.
