What is the load capacity of the Vestil Open Side Hopper?
Both models are rated at 2,000 lb. The capacity range across the line is 2,000 – 2,000 lb, so there is no lighter or heavier version to choose between — D-NS-100-LD and D-NS-200-LD carry the same rating. Weigh your heaviest expected load, including the material and any residue, and keep it under that rated figure.
What is the difference between model D-NS-100-LD and D-NS-200-LD?
Volume and price. D-NS-100-LD is listed as an open sided hopper with 2,000 lb capacity at $1,142.59. D-NS-200-LD is a D style open side hopper with 2 cubic yards of volume and the same 2,000 lb capacity, at $1,390.73. Choose by how much bulk you need to move per trip, since the weight rating is identical.
How many cubic yards does it hold?
D-NS-200-LD is listed at 2 cubic yards. A volume figure is not published in our product data for D-NS-100-LD, so we do not quote one here. If your application is volume-driven rather than weight-driven, the 2 cubic yard model is the one with a stated capacity you can plan against.
Does this hopper require electrical, hydraulic or air supply?
No power connection is listed for either model. These are non-powered steel containers, so there is nothing to wire, plumb or charge, and no motor or control system to maintain. Maintenance is limited to routine inspection of the structure and welds and keeping the interior clear of built-up material.
Where is it made and what warranty comes with it?
It is made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing and carries a 1-Year Limited warranty. Two models are currently available, priced from $1,142.59 to $1,390.73. Any coverage beyond that one-year limited term, including wear items or damage from overloading, is not part of the standard warranty as listed.
Who is this hopper not a good fit for?
Operations that need to move more than 2,000 lb per load. Because both models share the same rating, there is no heavier option in this line to step up to — you would need a different product. It is also not suited to buyers who need a powered dump function, since no power supply is specified for these units.
