Safe Manual Movement With Casters and Wheels

For days when your forklift is tied up with other projects, you need a more effective way to move your hopper. While you should always follow proper safety protocols when moving a self dumping hopper, additional wheels or casters can make it easier to roll a hopper around your shop floor, particularly if it’s empty.

A tarp, on the other hand, is a great way to temporarily shield your materials from the elements. If you need aren’t finishing dumping by the end of the day, cover your self dumping hopper with a tarp in case of rain or snow storms overnight, over the weekend or all week. Choose either a vinyl or mesh tarp that is custom-fit to your specific hopper.
