Self-dumping hoppers are remote controlled

Self-dumping hoppers are remote controlled
Roura Iron Works has added to its line of hydraulic controlled self-dumping hoppers and now provides a remote controlled dumping frame that can handle multiple collection bins or boxes. Boxes can be strategically placed throughout a collection area and placed in a frame when emptying is required. The fork truck driver can then pick up the frame with the collection box, move it to the dumping site, dump the contents, remove the box and return it to the collection area without ever leaving the fork truck.

Because one frame can handle many collection boxes, the cost of the hydraulics becomes very economical, and driver time is not wasted by having to leave the fork truck. Units are all custom designed.
