Product Overview
In short
The Apex Multi-Dump Bottom Dump Bucket is a heavy-duty hot-rolled steel hopper available in three sizes—ML100 (1 cu yd), ML150 (1 1/2 cu yd), and ML200 (2 cu yd)—with a 5,500 lb load capacity. It's designed for use with forklifts and overhead cranes, and it's proudly made in the USA by Apex Bulk Handlers (Apex Hoppers) in Bedford, OH.

The Apex Multi-Dump Bottom Dump Bucket is engineered for controlled material handling in industrial and construction environments. Instead of tipping to empty, it discharges through a heavy-duty hinged bottom door, allowing precise dumping into bins, over edges, or directly from an overhead crane. Built from hot-rolled steel with continuous welds, it is designed to handle demanding daily use.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Controlled Discharge: A hinged bottom door replaces traditional tipping, enabling accurate placement of material into bins, over edges, or from overhead cranes.
  • Positive Locking System: A safety pin secures the bottom door in place, preventing accidental discharge during handling or transport.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Hot-rolled steel with continuous welds provides durability under demanding load conditions.
  • Reinforced Wear Points: Critical load areas — including inside bottom corners, outer lip, and drop door — are reinforced for extended service life.
  • Range of Standard Sizes: Available in 1 cubic yard (ML100), 1 1/2 cubic yard (ML150), and 2 cubic yard (ML200) capacities, each rated for 5,500 lbs.
  • Customizable Options: Caster-mounted wheels, a lanyard release cable, various lid styles, and custom paint are available, along with special sizes and extra heavy-duty models on request.

Apex Multi-Dump Bottom Dump Buckets are suited for facilities and job sites that require controlled, repeatable material discharge — such as manufacturing plants, scrap and recycling operations, foundries, and construction sites using overhead cranes. Their reinforced steel construction and locking bottom door make them a practical choice for operations handling bulk materials that need to be moved and dumped with precision rather than tipped freely.

FAQ about this model

How do I choose the right size/model for my application?

The Multi-Dump Bottom Dump Bucket comes in three capacities to match different material handling needs: the ML100 holds 1 cubic yard and weighs 720 lbs, the ML150 holds 1 1/2 cubic yards and weighs 1,040 lbs, and the ML200 holds 2 cubic yards and weighs 1,300 lbs. All three models share the same 5,500 lb load capacity, so choose based on the volume of material you need to move per cycle and the weight your equipment can safely handle.

What equipment is it compatible with, and how does it operate?

This bucket is designed to work with both forklifts and overhead cranes, making it versatile for a range of industrial and yard operations. It features a positive locking system with a safety pin and a heavy-duty hinged bottom door, allowing for controlled, secure bottom-dump release of materials.

What options and customization are available?

The bucket can be configured with caster-mounted wheels for mobility, a lanyard release cable for remote door operation, various lid styles, and custom paint options to suit your operational and branding needs.

How is it constructed, and what makes it durable?

The bucket is built from hot-rolled steel using continuous welds for a strong, seamless structure. Reinforcements are added at the inside bottom corners, outer lip, and drop door to withstand heavy use. Apex hoppers are constructed from heavy duty 7GA and 1/4-inch steel, 100% MIG welded, and are proudly made in the USA.
