Details
HERMEQ’s boat hopper is a heavy-duty self-dumping tipping hopper engineered for vertical waste handling on construction jobsites. Designed to be lifted by crane via chain or hook, this tipping skip includes an integral bail arm with locking mechanism and self-release system to automatically discharge waste without manual assistance.
Once lifted, the hopper's “shark fin” system engages securely, and when positioned for emptying, the arm can be released to trigger the tipping action. The reinforced build and bright orange finish ensure performance, safety, and visibility on site. Ideal for debris removal jobs, high-rise demolition, or anywhere waste must be craned to ground level.
- No manual tipping: Self-dumping function activates during crane lift, improving safety and efficiency.
- Locking bail arm: Shark fin and side bolt ensure safe transit and controlled tipping operation.
- Crane & chain compatible: Lifting eye and balanced design ensure smooth handling by tower or mobile crane.
- Versatile sizes: Available in multiple sizes with payloads up to 6,614 lb.
- Reinforced construction: Durable body, sides and leading edge to endure repeated loads and harsh jobsite conditions.
This tipping hopper provides a reliable solution where forklifts aren’t suitable, or ground access is restricted. Common uses include hopper loading on tower cranes, site waste removal from upper floors, or clearing demolition debris in confined urban environments. The absence of hydraulics or manual controls means fewer failure points and safer operation.
Standard features include a low lip height for easy loading, automatic tipping when lifted, and a rest plate for safe parking. Operators can cycle the hopper quickly using the 12-step bail arm system, which resets after each discharge. The boat hopper’s compact footprint makes it ideal for high-density jobsites.
HERMEQ stocks a wide range of Tipping Hoppers, Waste Hoppers, Telehandler Attachments & Handling & Lifting equipment built to meet applicable safety specifications and regulations.
