All-welded self-dumping hoppers handle bulk materials and scrap generated from manufacturing processes. These units can be moved with a forklift or rolled on optional casters. A forklift of proper capacity rating must be used to empty the hopper. The narrow models are designed to fit into tight spaces without losing load capacity and may be shipped two wide and stacked in a truck. The trip handle is one piece with a positive locking mechanism. Jesco's dumpers are engineered to dump when the locking handle is tripped and return to the upright locked position when empty. In addition, units are designed to empty when filled up the sloped front to shift the center of gravity towards the mouth of the unit. Safety retaining chain and trip rope assembly are standard on all hoppers manufactured. Painted Vista Green, but optional color choices are available.

It's worth noting that specific benefits may vary depending on the model and features of the Jesco Self-Dumping Hopper chosen. 
Here are some general steps on how to use a self-dumping hopper:
♦ Inspect the hopper for any damages or defects before using it. Check for cracks, holes, or dents that could affect its structural integrity. Also, ensure the latches, hinges, and release mechanisms work properly.
♦ Choose the right size: Select the appropriate hopper size to handle the volume and weight of the materials you will be handling. Be sure to check the weight capacity of the hopper.
♦ Fill the hopper: Load the materials into the hopper using a forklift or other material handling equipment. Keep the hopper within its weight capacity. Ensure the materials are evenly distributed in the hopper to prevent tipping.
♦ Transport the hopper: Use a forklift or other material handling equipment to move the hopper to the desired location.
♦ Release the latch: Once the hopper is in place, release the latch or lock to dump the materials. This is usually done by pulling a lever or cord that activates the hopper's release mechanism.
♦ Dispose of the materials: After the materials have been dumped, use a broom or other cleaning equipment to remove any remaining debris from the hopper. The hopper can then be returned to its storage location.
♦ Store the hopper: When not in use, store the hopper in a dry and secure location.

Here are some of its typical applications:
♦ Material Handling in Industrial Environments: These hoppers are commonly used in manufacturing and industrial facilities to collect, transport, and dispose of bulk materials. This includes everything from scrap metal and wood chips to plastic pellets and construction debris.
♦ Waste Management: They effectively manage waste in commercial and industrial settings. Their self-dumping feature makes it easy to dispose of waste materials in larger dumpsters or waste processing areas.
♦ Recycling Operations: The hoppers can collect and transport recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, metal, and plastics. Their robust design makes them suitable for handling heavy or abrasive materials.
♦ Construction Sites: On construction sites, they are invaluable for transporting and disposing of construction waste, such as concrete, bricks, and tiles. The heavy-duty base ensures stability and durability under rough conditions.
♦ Agricultural Applications: In agricultural settings, these hoppers can be used for handling feed, grains, or other bulk agricultural products.
♦ Warehouse Operations: They can streamline warehouse operations by facilitating the movement of bulk goods, parts, or other materials from one location to another.
♦ Dock and Shipyard Use: For handling cargo, waste, or materials in docks and shipyards, the robust build of these hoppers makes them an excellent choice.
♦ Food Industry: Though dependent on the material and coating, they can potentially be used for handling bulk food ingredients in processing plants.
♦ Mining and Quarrying: For transporting and disposing of extracted materials such as rock, gravel, and ore.
♦ Landscape and Grounds Maintenance: Useful in landscaping for transporting soil, mulch, or garden waste.
