Self-Dumping Hopper Caster Kits for Portable Material Handling
Self-dumping hopper caster kits allow compatible H-style, D-style, and R-style hoppers to be moved more easily throughout work areas. Designed for manufacturing plants, warehouses, fabrication shops, maintenance departments, recycling areas, and material handling operations, these caster sets help turn stationary forklift hoppers into portable collection containers for scrap, chips, waste, and bulk materials.
Built for Hopper Mobility
Each caster kit is designed to bolt onto factory-stamped holes in the hopper fork tubes. Kits typically include rigid and swivel casters for stable movement and controlled positioning. Select H-style hopper kits include three casters plus bolt-on stabilizing legs for the back of the hopper.
Caster Materials and Capacities
Available caster types include glass filled nylon, semi-steel, mold-on-rubber, poly-on-steel, and ductile steel to match different floor conditions, load requirements, and facility needs. Capacities vary by caster kit, with options available for light-duty movement through heavy-duty industrial use.
Compatibility and Selection
H-style hopper caster kits use 6 inch casters, while D-style hopper kits are available with 6 inch or 8 inch casters. R-style hoppers use compatible D-style caster kits. The maximum usable capacity is limited by the lower rating of the hopper or caster kit, and the hopper weight must be included when calculating remaining load capacity.
