Industrial Shop Hoppers Have Durability, Safety Features
Self-dumping material handling hoppers
fabricated by Iron Bull Manufacturing are
equipped with a proprietary Positive
Alignment System featuring a tapered slide
box with expanded clearance angles for
fast, accurate entry of forktruck forks into
the hopper base channels. Engineered for
rugged, long-term service, the hoppers are
strengthened by wrap-around welded lips
on back corners, sides that extend below
hopper bottoms, full-length channel bases,
and gussets welded into front corners. A
dual safety lock package includes manual
flip lock and retaining chain that hooks
on to the hoppers, stabilizing loads to prevent accidental sliding or spillage. An
optional “Dump from Seat” latch rope
(shown in the accompanying photo) provides added safety, allowing operators to
remain seated while releasing loads rather
than having to dismount the forktruck to
manually discharge them. Iron Bull produces three series of hoppers—Economy
Bull, Baby Bull and Big Bull—with weight
capacities ranging from 1,500 lb to 6,000
lb and 1/3- to 2-1/2-yd
3
capacities.
Hoppers customized to customer specifications also are available. Hopper safety
decals are in English and Spanish, as are
operating instructions.
