    Casters are available for the D-Style Self-Dumping Hopper as an optional accessory. Multiple caster configurations can be selected depending on operational requirements.

    ►Can the size of the self dumping hopper be modified?
    The width of the hopper may be modified in some cases; however, the length cannot be changed. For customization options, it is recommended to consult a sales representative.

    ►What does LD, MD, and HD mean for hopper types?
    LD refers to Light Duty constructed from 12 gauge steel with a 2,000 lb capacity. MD refers to Medium Duty made from 10 gauge steel with a 4,000 lb capacity. HD refers to Heavy Duty built from 8 gauge steel with a 6,000 lb capacity.

    ►What is the bolt hole pattern for casters?
    The caster bolt hole pattern is punched at the front and back of each fork tube. The hole diameter is 7/16 inch.

    ►Can the hoppers be used with a telehandler?
    Use with a telehandler is not recommended. These hoppers are specifically designed for use with powered forklift trucks for safe and controlled operation.

    ►What caster should be purchased for the hopper?
    Caster selection depends on application needs. Mold-on rubber and poly-on-steel casters offer quiet operation and are suitable for uneven floors. Glass-filled nylon provides smoother rolling, while semi-steel and ductile steel options deliver maximum durability. Selection should match load capacity and operating conditions.

    ►What is the capacity of the lifting lugs?
    The lifting lug capacity is designed to match and support the rated capacity of the hopper itself.

    ►Does the D-TILT option need to be installed at the time of ordering?
