PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a fork-mountable, self-dumping hopper (“hopper” or “product”) made by Vestil

Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”). Our hoppers are durable, high-quality products that incorporate safetyconscious features. Each hopper conforms to the generalized specifications disclosed in this manual.

Standard design features include: 2 fork pockets that receive the tines (forks) of a fork truck; dump-actuating cable that allows the hopper to be dumped by the forklift driver; and either a safety chain or safety strap to wrap around the fork carriage and prevent the hopper from sliding off of the forks during use. Dimensions of offered models, as well as other product specifications appear in the following table:
