Safety features on all MECO self dumping hoppers include a chain for securing the hopper to the forklift or other handling vehicle and an easy to use positive locking mechanism that prevents accidental dumping of materials. These hoppers can be used safely at any height. For extra strength and the elimination of sharp edges, the units also include 2 inch square top lips.
When the locking mechanism is disengaged, the self dumping hoppers tilt to an angle well below horizontal, allowing for complete removal of the materials inside. Then, the self-balancing hopper automatically returns to its upright position.
