FAQ about this model

How much can this hopper hold?

It has a volume capacity of 1/4 cubic yard and a load capacity of 4,000 lbs. Keep both limits in mind — a load that's light but bulky can fill the 1/4 cu yd volume before you reach 4,000 lbs, and vice versa for dense materials.

What are the overall dimensions?

Overall length is 46 1/2", overall width is 32 3/8", and height is 24". The base measures 42" long by 24 7/8" wide, while the top opening is 41" long by 33 1/2" wide, tapering outward from base to rim.

Is it forklift compatible?

The hopper has a fork clearance of 2 3/4", which is the opening dimension for fork entry. Check this against your forklift's fork thickness and spacing before ordering, since the spec sheet doesn't list a specific forklift model it's designed for.

What is the hopper made of?

It's built from 7GA and 1/4" steel, fully MIG welded (100% MIG welded construction). This is a heavy-duty steel build intended for repeated dumping and material handling use rather than a lightweight or bolted assembly.

How much does the hopper itself weigh?

It weighs 325 lbs empty. Factor this into your forklift or crane capacity calculations along with the load you plan to carry, since the 4,000 lbs rating refers to the material load, not the combined weight with the hopper.

Where is this hopper manufactured?

It's made in the USA. Beyond origin, the spec sheet doesn't provide additional certification or compliance details, so confirm any specific requirements you have with your own inspection before purchase.
