Jesco Super Heavy Duty Low Profile Self-Dumping Hoppers

With heights of just 17 inches on the two smallest models and 24 inches on the two larger models, these hoppers fit into tight collection areas where standard Jesco hoppers, ranging from approximately 26 to 59 inches high, may be too tall. Heavy-duty steel construction and a reinforced formed base provide strength for repeated forklift handling and demanding industrial applications. The self-dumping mechanism allows a single forklift operator to transport and empty the hopper without manual unloading, automatically returning to its locked position when lowered to the ground.

Four models offer collection volumes from 1/8 to 1/2 cubic yard. The 1/8-yard model (212299) has a 2,000 lb load capacity, while the three larger models (212301, 212305, and 212311) are rated at 4,000 lbs each. Select the appropriate hopper based on available overhead clearance, material weight, collection volume, and forklift access.

Selecting the Right Hopper:
♦ Available clearance height: the two smallest models (212299 and 212301) are 17" high and suit positions where clearance is extremely limited, such as machine bases, low conveyor sections, and floor-level discharge points. The two larger models (212305 and 212311) are 24" high and suit positions with slightly more clearance. Measure the available height at the collection position before selecting a model.
♦ Volume, select based on the volume generated at the collection position between forklift pickups. The 1/8-yard (212299) is the smallest hopper in the entire Jesco lineup and suits very tight positions with low generation rates. The 1/4-yard (212301) meets the same 17" height constraint while offering more volume. The 1/3-yard (212305) and 1/2-yard (212311) add volume at the 24" height tier.
♦ Capacity, the 212299 (1/8 yard) carries 2,000 pounds -- lower than the 4,000-pound rating on the other three models. For dense scrap collection at the 17" height, verify that the 2,000-pound limit is adequate for the material being collected. If the application requires 4,000 pounds at 17" height, the 212301 provides that capacity at the same height in the 1/4-yard format.
♦ Low profile vs. standard height hoppers, the standard Jesco hopper series (heavy duty, extra duty, Husky, super extra heavy duty) start at 26-1/2" high for the smallest models. If the collection position can accommodate 26" or more of height clearance, a standard-height hopper provides more volume and capacity options at equivalent or lower prices. The low-profile series is the correct selection only when the installation height genuinely prevents the use of standard hoppers.
♦ 1/8-yard format is unique to this series; no other series in the Jesco lineup offers a 1/8-cubic-yard format. For applications requiring the smallest possible hopper footprint at the lowest possible height, the 212299 is the only option in the Jesco lineup.

Where Commonly Used:
♦ Under-Machine Scrap Collection at CNC and Stamping Equipment, CNC machining centers, stamping presses, and metal-cutting equipment often have limited clearance under the machine base where chips, slugs, and scrap accumulate. The 17"-high, low-profile models fit under many machine beds for continuous collection without requiring manual cleanup between forklift pickups.
♦ Below Conveyor Scrap Drop Points, conveyor systems with reject chutes or scrap drop points at low heights use the low-profile hopper to catch material discharged at the point where a standard hopper would be too tall to position under the discharge.
♦ Mezzanine-Level Work Cells, production cells located under mezzanine decks with limited overhead clearance, use the low-profile hopper for scrap collection in the compressed vertical space that a full-height hopper could not fit.
♦ Tight-Aisle and Low-Clearance Maintenance Areas, utility tunnels, and facility spaces with restricted ceiling heights use the low-profile format for scrap and waste collection when standard hoppers cannot be staged.
♦ Dense Scrap Collection in Compact Positions, applications where the material is dense metal scrap, but the collection position height restricts the use of standard hoppers, use the 4,000-pound low profile models to achieve heavy-duty collection capacity within the height constraint.
