Smart Scrap Handling with Vertical Efficiency

When every square foot matters in your facility, the Wright® Stackable Dump Hoppers from McCullough Industries offer an efficient and rugged solution. Built to maximize floor space without sacrificing strength, these hoppers allow your team to store, stage, and transport material using vertical stacking and efficient dumping mechanisms.

Unlike traditional self-dumping hoppers, our stackable units nest securely when empty and offer stable performance when full. From small parts manufacturers to high-output fabrication shops, Wright® stackable hoppers are the compact solution designed to support real-world waste management demands.

The Need for Stackable Scrap Storage

Manufacturing floors are often packed with equipment, raw material, staging zones, and personnel movement. In such environments, standard scrap bins can consume valuable floor space, create logistical traffic, or even pose safety hazards.

Wright® Stackable Dump Hoppers solve this by:



• Stacking up to three units high (empty)
• Featuring a compact, stable footprint
• Offering quick forklift access with built-in fork pockets
• Enabling hands-free dumping with rotator compatibility

Whether you need to stage multiple loads for batch dumping or free up space in high-volume areas, these hoppers make floor plan optimization part of your scrap strategy.

Engineered for Industrial Stacking

Not all hoppers are designed to be stacked but ours are. Every Wright® stackable model features reinforced corners, stabilized bases, and flat lids that serve as secure platforms. The result is a hopper that can be safely nested without shifting, warping, or compromising structural integrity.

Each hopper is built with minimum 7-gauge steel and powder-coated or galvanized finishes to withstand daily abuse from sharp scrap, abrasive materials, and forklift handling.

Rotator Ready for Seamless Dumping

These units aren’t just stackable they’re dump ready. Each SRT model includes a rotator compatible frame that allows your forklift operator to empty the hopper at height without dismounting. That means fewer trips, safer operations, and smoother workflows.

Rotator hoppers are ideal for:



• Facilities with elevated dump stations
• Batch waste staging zones
• CNC or fabrication areas with fixed discharge points
• Waste material sorting by type or process
  

Where Stackable Dump Hoppers Work Best

Wright® stackable hoppers are in use at facilities nationwide that prioritize efficiency and safety, including:

• Aerospace manufacturing floors
• Automotive component plants
• Tool and die shops
• Furniture production lines
• Warehouse packaging zones

In any location where floor congestion is a problem or scrap buildup needs to be staged and separated, a stackable hopper system provides a simple, scalable solution.

Compact Storage. Full-Size Performance.

One of the primary advantages of stackable dump hoppers is the ability to pre stage multiple loads in limited space. Whether you’re collecting material during first shift and dumping on third, or separating materials by type, these hoppers keep your operation organized without compromising footprint or safety.

Each model includes:

• Smooth-seam interiors for full discharge
• Drip tray options for oily or coolant-laced scrap
• Lockable lids for secure storage
• Fork tubes reinforced for vertical weight
  

Why Choose Wright® Stackable Dump Hoppers

At McCullough Industries, our hoppers are not modified from existing products they’re engineered from the ground up to meet industrial material handling needs. That means:

• All-steel welded construction
• Designed, fabricated, and finished in Ohio
• OSHA-focused dump angles and safety options
• Direct support from the engineers who built your hopper

When you order from McCullough, you’re not picking off a shelf. You’re investing in a lasting solution for space, safety, and scrap control.

Use Case Spotlight: Multi-Line Metal Shop

A mid-size fabricator in Indiana needed to reduce clutter between five parallel work cells. Previously using wheeled bins that crowded the aisle, they switched to SRT-50 stackable dump hoppers. The result:

• 30% increase in available floor space
• Faster waste collection cycles
• Improved worker visibility and forklift access

Now, full hoppers are staged near the press brake area while empty units are stacked for ready use. It’s a flexible, low-effort solution with immediate impact.

Let’s Maximize Your Floorplan

If space management is holding back your material flow or safety goals, McCullough Industries can help. Our Wright® Stackable Dump Hoppers are purpose-built to reduce clutter, streamline workflows, and simplify batch dumping.
