Self dumping hoppers are made with precision to empty on their own. Once the hopper has been filled to capacity, a forklift can slide right into the holes beneath the bin. Then, the forklift can be driven to wherever the material inside of the hopper needs to go, and raised to the appropriate height. The hopper is designed to tip itself over, emptying the contents out onto the area below, be it a dumpster or another area for storage. This simple procedure has been a revolutionary one and business everywhere are finding themselves taking advantage of self dumping hoppers by MECO.
