Understanding the process
How does a Dump Hopper work?
When materials are loaded into the hopper they can easily be transported thanks to the fork pockets attached to the hopper or the casters attached to the fork pockets. Once the hopper is ready to be emptied the operator can press the releasing a latch mechanism. The latch is spring loaded and secures the hopper in the upright position for filling. After the hopper is loaded, the load can be dumped from the seat of a forklift. Also know as “bump and dump”, the bumper release is activated when the bumper pad hits or bumps into the receiving container, releasing the latch and triggering the dumping action. The forklift operator can also use the manual release cable to tip the hopper.
