Work Made Easy

Creekside Manufacturing’s self-dumping hoppers are built to make your work and business easier, faster, and more efficient. 

Imagine your business with less wasted time moving and removing trash. What if your team was 10% more efficient every day? How much more could you produce? 

Called self-dumping hoppers, these mobile bins sit inside or outside your facility as close to the source of waste or parts as possible. When full, a forklift can quickly slide under our self-dumping hoppers to lift, move, and whisk away the debris, dumping it easily into your outdoor or indoor full-size dumpster from any height. Many of our customers also use our dump hoppers to store parts, widgets, and other manufacturing necessities. 

“Taking out the trash” has never been easier than with a Creekside Manufacturing self-dumping hopper.

Creekside Manufacturing’s
Self-Dumping Hopper Features

Easy-to-dump and built to last, our self-dumping hoppers dump easily and return to load position all in one smooth, rolling motion. They can be customized for any environment and can include a range of upgrades/accessories to for safe, effective handling!

Standard: Heavy-Duty latch and pin-less pivot system

Our standard release system and pin-less dumping operation are built tough to withstand years of rigors, while operating smoothly, easily, and quickly - virtually maintenance free.

Standard: fork-wrap Safety Chains

All of our self-dumping hoppers include safety chains standard, which wrap around the fork backs to ensure a snug fit and to keep the self-dumping hopper on the forks in case of emergency stops or shifts.

Optional: hands-free "bump and dump" or pull-chain release systems

Get in and out of your forklift even less with one of two upgrades. Our hands-free "bump and dump" system has a unique bumper design that allows the forklift operator to simply bump the dumpster against the dumping point to release the safety latch. Or, select our pull-cord release system to spring the safety latch and dump the contents of your dump hopper right from the driver's seat.

Optional: Custom Paint Colors

Our dumping trash hoppers are made with heavy-duty steel and painted. They come in a range of paint colors standard (pick yours!), but we can also do custom paint colors to match your branding.

Optional: Heavy Duty Casters

Add heavy duty wheels to your dump hopper for easy maneuvering around your facility. These wheels are standard on our low-profile hoppers but can be added to any other dump hopper for your needs!

Optional: Aluminum or Stainless steel construction

Who Can Benefit
From A Self-Dumping Hopper?

Self-dumping hoppers are time-savers, back-savers, and money-savers by improving efficiency in your shop. 

Did you know that putting a barrel on a pallet, lifting it up to your outdoor dumpster, and tipping it off is a major OSHA no-no? No one wants to hear from OSHA regulators, and a self-dumping hopper can make your shop easier, lower your risk of accidents, and improve workplace safety. “Many hands make light work” and a self-dumping hopper provides a LOT of hands.

The list of businesses and employers that can benefit from a quality self-dumping hopper by Creekside is endless. We’ve sold self-dumping hoppers to pallet shops, farmers, manufacturing facilities, woodworking shops, recycling facilities, polycarbonate manufacturing facilities, steel-working shops, and more. 

Anywhere that makes significant trash or requires parts containers can benefit from the speed and ease of using a dump-hopper instead of traditional trash bins. Just imagine the speed at which you and your team can quickly whisk waste out of your facility: no more lugging large trash bins around, no more toting steel barrels, no more back-breaking (and even hazardous) wheeling trash cans all around the shop throughout the day. 

With a self-dumping hopper, trash and waste removal is as easy as jumping on your forklift. Whether you’re removing trash once a week or three-times daily, a self-dumping hopper can make business more enjoyable. Let the forklift do the work!

Reduces in Downtime: By allowing forklift operators to handle the dumping process without needing assistance, downtime between loads is minimized. This keeps operations flowing smoothly, maximizing overall productivity.

Safety

Protection from Hazardous Materials: Our self-dumping hoppers are equipped with safety features like safety chains and release levers that help make sure workers don’t need to come into direct contact with materials, minimizing the risk of injury.

Hands-Free Mechanism: The hands-free latch system keeps workers at a safe distance from the hopper during the dumping process, which helps avoid accidents.

Stability and Control: Our hoppers are designed to tip safely and securely, reducing the chances of tipping over unexpectedly, which could endanger personnel in the area.

Versatility

Multiple Applications: Our self-dumping hoppers are versatile enough to handle a wide range of materials, from heavy industrial waste and debris to recyclables and raw materials. This makes them useful across industries like manufacturing, construction, and agriculture.

Adaptable to Different Worksites: Whether used for waste disposal, material transport, or temporary storage, our self-dumping hoppers can be customized to fit various operational needs.

Compatibility with Equipment: Our hoppers are designed to be compatible with standard forklifts and other equipment, adding to their flexibility in different environments.

Durability

Heavy-Duty Construction: Our self-dumping hoppers are built to withstand harsh working conditions, including exposure to tough materials like metal scraps, concrete, and heavy waste.

These hoppers are designed to resist corrosion, rust, and weathering, further enhancing their lifespan even in outdoor environments.

Common Questions About Self-Dumping Hoppers

All standard size hoppers are in-stock and can be ready to ship same-day if ordered by 12 pm.

After much testing and consideration over the years, our self-dumping hoppers are painted, not powder-coated. 

Powder-coating can be great for metal in low-abuse settings, but we know from experience that when powder coatings chip – and they inevitably do with dump hoppers and waste management – moisture slowly seeps behind powder coating and rust will form and powder coat will peel off rapidly. 

By contrast, our painted approach is more likely to dent or scratch than create large chips, reducing moisture seepage and corrosion in the long-run. We use a high-quality enamel paint on all our products; we don’t settle for anything but the best. 

We build our self-dumping hoppers for durability, longevity, and integrity..

A 1-yard dumpster will hold waste equivalent to 3ft x 3ft x 3ft: a cubic yard. This is a common measurement for dumpsters and self-dumping hoppers. We make self-dumping hoppers as small as ¼-yard and as large as 7-yards standard, though we can custom manufacture hoppers of all kinds.

You clearly know self-dumping hoppers!

Creekside Manufacturing’s self-dumping hoppers are NOT pinless. Here’s why: we’ve spent considerable time and energy extensively evaluating pinless approaches, and thus far we have not been convinced that this approach is ideal for most customers. The pin in a traditional self-dumping hopper keeps the dumper on track as it pivots forward, and we’ve seen time-and-time again how the pinless approach creates multiple pinch points and ultimately failure points, creating durability issues in the long-run.  

Proper self-dumping hopper manufacturing, with a traditional pin, requires attention to detail, skilled welding and planning, and experience to manufacture well. When built well, self-dumping hoppers like ours can last for decades.

Creekside Manufacturing has been manufacturing self-dumping hoppers for more than two decades, and we pride ourselves in our commitment to crafting great products that will make your workplace easier, safer, and more productive. Hand-crafted by our own family and small team, we build products to last, and we want every customer to walk away completely satisfied. If you’re not 100% satisfied, we stand behind every self-dumping hopper that leaves our floor.

We ship our self-dumping hoppers nationwide, or you can pick up your hopper yourself at our Lancaster, PA facility.
