What is a storage hopper?

Storage hoppers are professional containers designed for the storage and easy handling of bulk materials and goods. They are used daily in various sectors, including agriculture, construction, woodworking, and industry.

Unlike filling hoppers, storage hoppers allow for the proper storage of materials, products, or foodstuffs. For example, pellets, cereals, plastic granules, sand, gravel, etc.

Capacity of storage hoppers

The capacity of hoppers varies greatly depending on users’ needs. At Goubard, for example, capacities range from a few hundred to several thousand liters. The load of our storage hoppers ranges from 750 to 2,000 kg.

Materials storable in a hopper

Hoppers can store all types of materials, from powders to aggregates, as well as other bulk materials or food products (dried fruits, grains, ruminant pellets, etc.).

Advantages of storage hoppers for forklifts

Hoppers offer several advantages. Firstly, they facilitate the controlled discharge of materials. With a forklift-mounted storage hopper, the container can be easily moved using a forklift, ensuring easy and safe handling of the container.

These hoppers are suitable for all possible and imaginable uses. For food, animal or consumer products (stainless steel hopper), construction materials, pellets… There are no limits.

How to choose your storage hopper?

When choosing a hopper, consider:

• The ideal capacity: to meet your overall needs while minimizing movements during handling
• The type of material to be stored. For a food hopper, for example, a stainless steel model should be chosen
• The specificities of the operating environment
• Compatibility with your forklift (especially in terms of load and dimensions)
