Tips for Safely Using a Self Dumping Hopper
February 28, 2019While self-dumping hoppers allow forklift operators to easily transport and handle a variety of materials, they can be dangerous without the proper training and techniques.
If you’ve never used a self-dumping hopper before, follow these safety tips for efficient and responsible use:
Before Use
✔️ Always inspect the latch spring, drum, base, and entire latch assembly before using the hopper. Excessive wear or damage can cause the latch assembly to not work properly, resulting in accidental dumping.
✔️ Ensure the hopper is secure by keeping the latch holder in the locked position until you are ready to dump.
