Steel Self Dumping Hoppers - Solid Reasons for Buying

Posted by Rouramh on July 30th, 2015

Safe materials handling applies to all applications, and it is for this reason that you must have high-quality equipment that can make it easier and safer to store, move, and dispose of certain types of materials. Steel self dumping hoppers are among the most reliable forms of equipment in materials handling applications. The durability of steel makes it an ideal material for self dumping hoppers used in manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, disposal, and consumption.

Some of the most durable self dumping hoppers are made of 12 and 10 gauge steel bodies that can handle up to 4,000 lbs of material, with their capacity of up to five cubic yards. For more rugged and demanding applications, a hopper that is made with 3/16” plate steel is recommended.

High-quality steel self dumping hoppers are continuously welded to make sure that there are no inconsistencies in the structure, and to prevent leaks. Moreover, some hoppers are used for handling hot ash, sand, glass, minerals, and concrete, so it is crucial for them to be able to hold these materials efficiently and safely. Some of the strongest hoppers with 8,000 to 10,000 lbs capacities are large, usually from six to 10 cubic yards for high volume materials handling.

Extruded and exclusively pierced trunnion tracks with taper pins provide superior wear resistance to steel self dumping hoppers. Hoppers with 12 and 10 gauge carbon steel bodies guarantee utmost safety and reliability, and the highest-quality. Steel self dumping hoppers should help improve your quality of customer service while minimizing delivery time, simplifying inventory, and reducing overall handling costs in transportation, distribution, or manufacturing.

Self dumping hoppers reduce the need for manual labor, thereby reducing risks. You can set them up in the vehicle and make sure that they can safely dump materials into their rightful containers without having to touch anything. This way, you can prevent workplace accidents and improve the safety and well-being of your workers.

Steel self dumping hoppers will minimize operational costs, provide a safer working environment, and increase your productivity. If you need a hopper in a specific size or for a special application, there are manufacturers who can customize existing hoppers or create the right product from the scratch for you. Reputable manufacturers of steel self dumping hoppers have their engineering team, which you can contact to discuss the unique features that you need for your hopper.
