Overview
The 1600 L tilting hopper is a professional solution for collecting, handling and controlled discharge of scrap and process waste in industrial environments. Designed to handle scrap metal, offcuts, chips and production residues, it provides a durable, safe and easy-to-operate container for workshops, production departments, warehouses and manufacturing sites.

Emptying system and operation

• Lever-operated tilting mechanism controllable from the forklift driver's position.
• Enables controlled discharge without the operator leaving the forklift.
• Smooth, controlled tilt action to reduce the risk of sudden spillage.

Structure and durability
Constructed from high-strength structural steel with reinforced fabrication and protective powder coating to withstand impacts, external agents and heavy-duty operating conditions. Suitable for handling heavy and abrasive materials typical of industrial processes.

Handling and wheels
The hopper is designed for both forklift handling and manual movement on flat surfaces. Fitted with four industrial wheels (Ø 200 mm): two fixed and two swivel wheels with brake to ensure maneuverability, stability and secure locking in the working position.

Forklift compatibility
Equipped with a fork pocket box for insertion onto forklift forks; internal section of the pocket: 170 × 50 mm (compatible with most standard forklifts) for quick and secure engagement even under full load.

Customization and color coding
Available in several RAL color options to facilitate coding and identification of waste types (e.g. Orange, Blue, Light Blue, Grey, Green). Color coding supports waste segregation and internal logistics organization.

Options and special versions

• Sealed basin version for materials containing liquids.
• Settling grid for solid/liquid separation.
• Drain tap for controlled liquid drainage.

Operational advantages

• Reduced collection and discharge times.
• Less manual handling and more orderly workflows.
• Improved safety: operator remains on the forklift during discharge; stability ensured by braked wheels.

Typical applications

• Mechanical workshops
• Metal fabrication shops
• Manufacturing companies
• Metal processing departments and internal waste collection centers
