2-1/2 Cubic Yard MECO Heavy Duty Self-Dumping Hopper | SDHH250
Built tough for demanding material handling, the SDHH250 is a 2-1/2 cubic yard heavy duty self-dumping hopper from MECO Omaha. Constructed from 10-gauge welded steel with a 7-gauge base, it handles loads up to 4,000 lbs and ships fully assembled — ready to work the moment it arrives.
Precisely balanced to tip forward for complete discharge of contents, then automatically return to an upright, locked position. A positive locking latch prevents accidental dumping. Welded seams throughout ensure a watertight interior for wet or dry materials. A 2" formed top lip adds rigidity and eliminates sharp edges. A safety chain secures the hopper to the handling vehicle during dumping.
Add a Caster Kit — Add Mobility to Your Hopper
Casters free your forklift for other tasks and give your hopper full mobility across your facility. Available in 6" or 8" diameter — choose the wheel composition that matches your floor surface and load:
- Mold-On Rubber — Best for smooth concrete or tile floors. Quieter operation, protects flooring.
- Steel — Maximum durability for heavy loads. Best for rough or uneven industrial floors.
- Phenolic — Hard resin wheel. High load capacity, resistant to oils and solvents.
- Polyurethane — Good all-around choice. Non-marking, quieter than steel, harder than rubber.
What’s Included
- Fully assembled 2-1/2 cu. yd. heavy duty self-dumping hopper
