The Husky series offers load capacities up to 6,000 lbs, with 1.0- to 2.0-cubic-yard models rated at 6,000 lbs. Compact 1/4-, 1/3-, and 1/2-cubic-yard models provide an impressive 4,000 lb capacity, making them ideal for confined work areas where dense, heavy materials require greater load capacity without the footprint of a larger hopper.

Designed for demanding manufacturing, fabrication, and scrap-handling environments, Jesco Husky self-dumping hoppers combine high load capacities with efficient forklift operation to reduce manual material handling and improve productivity. Select the appropriate model based on material weight, collection volume, and available floor space.

Selecting the Right Hopper:
♦ Volume and capacity by model, the 1/4-yard (211301), 1/3-yard (211305), and 1/2-yard (211311) models carry 4,000 pounds each -- the compact high-capacity formats. The 3/4-yard (211321) carries 5,000 pounds. The 1.0-yard (211331) through 2.0-yard (211351 and 211356) models carry 6,000 pounds. The 2.5-yard (211361) models carry 4,000 pounds
♦ Two configurations at 1.5 yards, the 211341 (62" L x 59-1/2" W x 37" H) is wider and shorter; the 211346 (64" L x 46-1/2" W x 46" H) is narrower and taller. Both hold 1.5 cubic yards at 6,000 pounds. Choose the wide/short configuration when floor clearance and overhead height are not constraints, and a wider footprint is acceptable. Choose the narrow/tall configuration when a narrower footprint is required, but the taller height fits within the available space and dumping clearance.
♦ Two configurations at 2.0 yards, the same principle applies: the 211351 (64" L x 59-1/2" W x 46" H) is wider; the 211356 (64" L x 46-1/2" W x 51" H) is narrower and taller. Both are rated at 6,000 pounds. Choose based on the floor footprint constraints at the collection position.
♦ Husky vs. extra duty at matching volumes, the extra duty series covers 1.0 to 4.0 yards at 4,000 pounds. The Husky series covers 1.0 to 2.0 yards at 5,000 to 6,000 pounds at those sizes. For 1.0-yard to 2.0-yard applications where the 4,000-pound extra-duty limit is insufficient, the Husky series provides the higher capacity. For 3.0-yard and 4.0-yard applications, only the extra duty series is available; the Husky does not extend to those volumes.
♦ Small-volume high-capacity formats, only the Husky series offers the 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2-yard compact formats at 4,000-pound capacity. The extra duty series has no small-volume models. If the application requires a compact hopper with more than the 2,000-pound capacity of the heavy-duty series, the Husky compact models (211301, 211305, 211311) are the only option in the Jesco lineup.

Where Commonly Used:
♦ Heavy Foundry and Casting Operations, foundries collecting extremely dense metal scrap -- large castings, sprues, and risers in smaller volumes use the compact Husky models (1/4 to 1/2 yard) where the material weight reaches 4,000 pounds at a small physical volume, exceeding the capacity of both the heavy-duty and extra duty small-volume formats.
♦ High-Capacity Scrap Collection at Production Cells, production cells generating 1.0 to 2.0 cubic yards of dense scrap per shift, use the 6,000-pound Husky models to collect the full shift's scrap without concern for exceeding the hopper's weight rating before the scheduled forklift pickup.
♦ Heavy Metalworking and Forging Operations, forging operations where large, dense forgings and trim scrap are collected between press cycles, use the 5,000 to 6,000-pound Husky models to handle the weight of forged metal scrap without reaching the capacity limit before the hopper is full.
♦ Tight-Space High-Density Collection, machining cells or workstations with tight floor clearance where the wide/short models (211341, 211351) don't fit, but the narrow/tall alternatives (211346, 211356) can be positioned in the available space while providing the same 6,000-pound capacity and cubic volume.
♦ Recycling and Scrap Processing: scrap processors collecting sorted metal by type use the Husky models, where the density of the specific metal being collected (copper, brass, cast iron, stainless steel) would exceed the 4,000-pound extra-duty rating before the hopper reaches its cubic volume capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Jesco Husky self-dumping hopper used for?

The Jesco Husky self-dumping hopper is a super heavy-duty forklift hopper designed for handling large volumes of scrap, waste, and bulk materials. It provides a rugged, efficient solution for industrial operations that require frequent dumping and high-capacity material containment. These hoppers help improve cleanup, safety, and material flow in demanding environments.

What makes the Husky hopper “super heavy duty”?

The Husky model is built with reinforced steel construction and a formed base designed for extreme industrial use. It is engineered to withstand heavier loads, repeated dumping cycles, and harsh shop-floor abuse. This makes it ideal for high-impact environments where standard hoppers may not hold up.

How does a self-dumping forklift hopper work?

The hopper is lifted by forklift and automatically dumps when the release mechanism is activated. Once emptied, it returns to the locked position as it is lowered back to the floor. This allows a single operator to handle scrap disposal safely and efficiently without manual dumping.

What types of materials can be handled with the Husky hopper?

These hoppers are commonly used for scrap metal, heavy debris, production waste, recyclables, and bulk industrial materials. They are designed for operations that generate large, dense scrap loads. The super heavy-duty build supports tough material handling without compromising durability.

How does the Husky hopper improve industrial efficiency?

The Husky hopper allows facilities to collect and dump large scrap loads in fewer trips with less labor. It minimizes downtime by keeping waste removal fast, controlled, and forklift-operated. Efficient bulk handling supports cleaner work areas and smoother overall production flow.

Where are Jesco Husky self-dumping hoppers most commonly used?

These hoppers are widely used in heavy manufacturing, metal fabrication, foundries, warehouses, and recycling operations. They are ideal anywhere scrap volumes are high and rugged equipment is required. Any facility needing maximum durability in bulk waste handling can benefit from the Husky hopper.

Is the manufacturer’s warranty included with my purchase?

Yes. All products sold on CustomMHS.com include the original manufacturer’s warranty unless otherwise noted. Custom MHS is an authorized dealer for the brands we carry, which means your purchase is covered by the manufacturer's full factory warranty.
