Vestil Low Profile Parts Hopper | 1/2 Cu Yd Forklift Dump Hopper with Casters

Vestil Low Profile Parts Hopper 18 Inch High | Forklift Dump Parts Hopper

The Vestil Low Profile Parts Hopper is a forklift dump parts hopper designed to sit under machinery and act as a catch basin for parts and scrap. With an 18-inch overall height, this low-profile hopper fits into tight clearance areas, reducing time spent picking parts off the floor. Built from 10-gauge steel with a 1/2 cubic yard capacity, it includes fork pockets that allow a forklift to dump the hopper up to 90 degrees. For easy positioning, the unit rolls on 4-inch by 2-inch phenolic casters with two rigid and two swivel casters, wheel brakes, and a removable push handle.

Why Use a Low Profile Parts Hopper

Loose parts and scrap on the floor create safety risks, slow production, and waste labor on cleanup and rework. A low-profile parts hopper lets operators capture parts at the source rather than collect them after they scatter. This reduces trip hazards, minimizes handling time, and keeps the area around machines cleaner and more organized. It is especially useful when standard-height hoppers cannot fit under equipment.

How It Helps Your Operations
This hopper improves workflow by enabling collection directly beneath machinery, reducing floor clutter, and keeping parts contained. Casters and a push handle allow operators to reposition the hopper without needing a forklift for every move. When it is time to empty, fork pockets make dumping quick and controlled, and the hopper returns to a locked position when lowered back to the ground, supporting consistent, repeatable cycles. The result is faster housekeeping, fewer safety hazards, and cleaner production areas, particularly in tight clearance work zones.
