Designed for Seamless Integration with Roll-Off Containers
In high-volume scrap and debris operations, efficiency doesn't stop at the hopper it depends on how well your hopper integrates with your entire disposal system. McCullough Industries designs Wright® Bump Release Hoppers with built-in roll-off compatibility, making bulk scrap disposal safer, faster, and hands-free.
These hoppers are engineered to align precisely with roll-off containers for automated dumping. That means less time spent maneuvering or manually releasing contents, and more time focused on core operations. If you're dealing with constant scrap output and frequent hauls, roll-off-compatible hoppers are not just helpful they're essential.
What Is a Roll Off Compatible Hopper?
Roll-off compatible hoppers are specially designed to align and dump directly into large roll-off containers. The Wright® Bump Release Hopper does this through a front-release mechanism triggered by gentle contact with the roll-off's edge.
This allows for:
- No manual release needed
- Safe, repeatable dumping by forklift operators
- Automated return to upright, locked position
Unlike traditional hoppers that require chains or manual tipping, bump release hoppers speed up scrap handling and reduce risk.
Why Integration with Roll Off Containers Matters
In facilities where bulk scrap volume can spike quickly, improper integration between internal hoppers and exterior containers creates bottlenecks. Frequent dismounting, unsafe tipping, and poorly matched bin heights all lead to inefficiency.
Wright® Bump Release Hoppers are precisely engineered for compatibility, reducing:
- Transfer time from floor to container
- Material overflow due to poor alignment
- Operator strain from manual release systems
For operations running 3+ hauls a day or managing heavy steel, this compatibility is a performance multiplier.
Key Applications for Roll Off Dumping
Roll-off compatible hoppers are ideal for operations that generate large amounts of scrap or debris on a recurring basis. Common applications include:
- Steel fabrication shops
- Demolition and construction waste collection
- Recyclers and scrap yards
- Foundries and machine shops
- Heavy equipment rebuild facilities
When large containers are stationed for haul-away, the Wright® Bump Release Hopper ensures your internal bins can transfer materials directly no additional lifts or handling needed.
Specs That Fit the Work
| Model | Volume | Weight Rating | Wall Thickness | Release Type | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10055BR | 1.0 yd³ | 4,000 lbs | 11-gauge | Bump | General scrap loading |
| 15099BR | 1.5 yd³ | 7,000 lbs | 7-gauge | Bump | Steel shops, high-weight jobs |
| 20077BR | 2.0 yd³ | 7,000 lbs | 7-gauge | Bump | Continuous large-volume dumping |
| 30099BR | 3.0 yd³ | 7,000 lbs | 7-gauge | Bump | Outdoor debris and recycling |
Engineered for Safety and Precision
Safety isn’t a luxury in bulk scrap handling it’s a necessity. Our bump release hoppers offer critical safeguards:
- Precision-formed lips for clean material flow into roll-offs
- Fully welded seams to prevent leakage of wet or oily waste
- Positive stop dump angles to avoid overshoot or container impact
- Low-noise bump actuation for indoor environments
Operators can remain seated during the entire dump cycle, reducing fall risks and repetitive strain. The more time operators spend on the lift, the fewer delays and hazards your operation faces.
Benefits Over Standard Hoppers
| Feature | Wright® Bump Release Hopper | Standard Self-Dumping Hopper |
|---|---|---|
| Roll-Off Compatibility | Yes | No (manual required) |
| Auto Reset | Yes | Yes |
| Operator Dismount Needed | No | Often |
| Wet Material Handling | Leak-resistant options | Optional |
| Speed of Use | Fast | Moderate |
If your facility hauls away scrap with roll-off bins, choosing a bump release hopper over standard models means better workflow and less hazard.
Designed for Demanding Scrap Handling Environments
Bump Release Hoppers from McCullough Industries have been tested and deployed in some of the most demanding industrial settings. These include:
- Aerospace machining lines collecting aluminum and titanium shavings
- Automotive plants collecting oily stampings and bulk sheet offcuts
- Construction material yards with concrete, rebar, and timber waste
- Equipment remanufacturing sites managing daily steel teardown loads
Where traditional hoppers buckle under high cycle volumes, our roll-off-compatible hoppers maintain their structure and performance with zero compromise.
Add-Ons for Custom Use
Our roll-off compatible hoppers can be enhanced with:
- Poly or steel casters for mobility
- Safety chain kits for OSHA-compliant anchoring
- Drip trays and gasketed lids
- Drain plugs for coolant-heavy scrap
- Custom coatings for high-heat or corrosive environments
Each configuration is engineered to meet specific industry safety codes and operational challenges. From welded grab handles to reinforced dump locks, every part serves a function.
Why McCullough Industries?
All Wright® hoppers are manufactured in the U.S. and field-tested in real industrial environments. We understand that fast cycle times, operator safety, and container compatibility are non-negotiable. That’s why our roll-off hoppers are purpose-built, not retrofitted, with every weld and angle optimized for heavy-duty use.
Whether you're running a machine shop or clearing debris from demolition work, the Wright® Bump Release Hopper offers unmatched speed and safety for bulk transfer.
FAQs About Roll-Off Compatible Hoppers
What does "bump release" mean?
It refers to the release mechanism that triggers dumping when the hopper contacts the edge of a roll-off container. No manual pull required.
Are these hoppers forklift-ready?
Yes. All Wright® Bump Release Hoppers come with reinforced fork pockets.
Can I use them indoors?
Yes. They're commonly used indoors with low-noise release features for quieter operations.
Do they handle wet scrap?
Absolutely. We offer oil-tight seams and drain plugs to manage oily or fluid-heavy waste.
Do I need a special roll-off bin?
No. Wright® Bump Release Hoppers are compatible with standard roll-off containers. Just let us know your bin height and we’ll spec your hopper accordingly.
How long do these hoppers last in tough conditions?
Wright® Bump Release Hoppers are designed with 7-gauge steel and continuous welds to withstand years of industrial use—even in high-output scrap operations.
Are custom sizes available?
Yes. We can fabricate to match your facility layout, material volume, or roll-off height for exact compatibility.
What industries use roll-off compatible hoppers?
These hoppers are widely used in aerospace, steel fabrication, demolition cleanup, and recycling yards that manage high-volume material output daily.
