Apex Heavy Duty Self-Dumping Crane Hopper, 2 Cubic Yard Capacity, 8000 lb Load Rating, Watertight MIG-Welded Steel Bucket with E-Z Release for High Volume Construction and Industrial Use, Made in USA

Apex Heavy Duty Self-Dumping Crane Hopper, 2 Cubic Yard Capacity, 8000 lb Load Rating, Watertight MIG-Welded Steel Bucket with E-Z Release for High Volume Construction and Industrial Use, Made in USA

• MAXIMUM 2 CUBIC YARD CAPACITY – Built for high throughput on large projects, this 2 cubic yard self-dumping crane hopper moves more material per lift, helping reduce crane cycles and handling time on demolition, concrete and industrial cleanout jobs where volume and efficiency are critical.
• 8000 LB CRANE LOAD RATING – Designed for up to 8000 lb when properly rigged and used within published guidelines, allowing dense materials to be lifted safely as long as operators match bucket fill, rigging configuration and crane load charts correctly.
• HEAVY 1/4 INCH STEEL BODY – Fabricated from reinforced 1/4 inch steel plate, the bucket body resists denting, abrasion and deformation under repeated crane handling, impacts and harsh jobsite conditions where thin or lightly built buckets fail.
• REINFORCED TOP RAIL STRUCTURE – Solid 1/2 inch by 3 inch steel flat bar reinforcement rails stiffen the rim, helping the hopper maintain shape when fully loaded and improving durability when contacting truck beds, chutes or structural edges during placement.
• ROBUST 3-PIECE BAIL ARM DESIGN – The three-piece bail arm assembly, built from 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch steel plate, distributes lifting forces evenly into the body, helping the hopper hang straight under the hook and remain stable during travel.
• 100% MIG-WELDED WATERTIGHT INTERIOR – Fully MIG-welded seams create a watertight interior capable of containing wet concrete, slurry, washout and fines within rated limits, reducing leaks, drips and housekeeping issues common with lightly welded crane buckets.
• CONTROLLED SELF-DUMPING ACTION – Equipped with a flame-cut 1/2 inch thick E-Z Release handle, the dumping mechanism allows operators to tip the bucket in a smooth, progressive motion instead of a sudden drop, improving placement accuracy and reducing splash.
• SUITED FOR WET AND DRY LOADS – Designed to handle dry debris and scrap as well as wet materials like concrete and washout when used within rating, this hopper provides flexibility across changing jobsite conditions without switching equipment styles.
• BUILT FOR LARGE-SCALE PROJECTS – Ideal for major demolition, concrete placement, plant turnarounds and industrial cleanouts, the hopper is intended for frequent crane cycles and repeated handling where structural reliability is essential.
• MADE IN USA HEAVY DUTY BUILD – Manufactured in the United States using American labor and domestic steel, this self-dumping crane hopper reflects a focus on weld quality, structural consistency and durability expected by professional crews.
