Self-Dumping Hopper

Auto-Tipping & Locking
Thanks to the flawless center of gravity kinematic design, it tips independently completely mechanically and gravity-assisted without requiring hydraulic or pneumatic power, and locks automatically after discharging.
Forklift Compatibility
Leak-Proof Welding Tech
Polyurethane Coating
Fast, Safe and Automatic Tipping Solutions
Tipping skips (waste containers) are efficient transport systems designed for the collection, transportation, and rapid hydraulic-free discharging of industrial waste such as production remnants, scrap metal, swarf, wood, plastic and glass in industrial facilities. MT Makina tipping containers are manufactured from S235JR - S355JR quality structural steel and offer a perfect combination of durability and aesthetics through CNC laser cutting and press brake bending technologies.
Thanks to its specially designed center of gravity geometry, when the locking mechanism is released, the container automatically tips forward with its own weight, and after emptying, it returns to its original position and locks automatically due to the center of gravity. The steel rope remote unlatching system, which allows the operator to discharge without leaving the forklift seat, maximizes industrial occupational health and safety (OHS) standards.

Optional Features
Strainer Plate & Drain Valve
Perforated interlayer strainer enabling solid-liquid separation of oily or watery wastes, and 1-inch spherical liquid drain valve.
Shock Absorbers & Springs
Pneumatic shock absorber system that cushions the impact during tipping, preventing damage to the forklift mast and chassis.
Polyamide/PU Wheel Set
Heavy-duty wheel kit durable under massive loads consisting of 2 swivels with brakes and 2 fixed castors for manual intralogistics mobility.
Lid Design Options
Shock absorber supported hinged openable top sheet metal lid providing ecologic protection against rain water and odor emissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the container is manufactured purely based on a mechanical balance (center of gravity) principle. After the waste empties from the front, the rear of the body becomes heavier, and the container swings back onto the chassis itself and assumes the locked position. No need for forklift operator dismount.
Self-dumping hoppers should prioritize unloading speed and operator safety
For metal scrap, production residue and dense waste flow, self-dumping systems improve operator efficiency. The right series depends on forklift compatibility and controlled unloading.
