Self-Dumping Hoppers
Our self-dumping hoppers feature heavy-gauge steel construction with reinforced weld points for maximum durability. Available in capacities from 2,000 to 10,000 lbs, these units incorporate safety-focused design elements like internal spring latches and structural angle rockers. The patented welding process ensures superior joint strength while maintaining operational efficiency across diverse industrial environments.
Custom Fabrication
We engineer bespoke material handling systems to meet specific client requirements. Our fabrication team modifies standard models or creates entirely new designs using 5/16-inch steel plate construction. This service addresses unique capacity needs, specialized material types, and integration with existing operational infrastructure while maintaining our quality standards for longevity and safety.
Rotator Boxes
Designed for heavy-duty applications, these rotatable containers handle up to 6,500 lbs with precision-engineered balance points. The units feature reinforced bases with 3-inch channel supports and smooth-rotating trunnion systems. Ideal for recycling operations and manufacturing facilities requiring frequent material discharge without equipment repositioning.
Stone Handling Racks
Specialized granite slab and remnant storage systems maximize warehouse efficiency while ensuring product protection. Constructed with industrial-grade steel frameworks and adjustable support systems, these racks accommodate various stone dimensions. The design prevents shifting during handling and optimizes vertical storage capacity for natural and manufactured stone products.
Drum Rotators
Engineered for 6,000 lb capacity operations, these units feature precision-balanced rotation mechanisms and reinforced base frames. The design incorporates safety-focused chain systems and ergonomic controls for efficient material processing. Ideal for recycling centers handling large-volume drum operations with frequent rotation requirements.

Very disappointed in this company and WILL NEVER DO BUISNESS WITH THEM AGAIN! 3 LIES in a row. If I wouldve KNOWN how dishonest they were to make a sale, I wouldve NEVER bought from them in the first place. I was sold on the fact they were local, looked like they had a great rating, and been in business for many years. They even fed me the repetitive lines of were the best in the biz, made 1st dump bin, and still the best, EVERY TIME I TALKED TO THEM. So I went to them in PERSON, because I wanted to make sure this dump bin was going to work and do the things I wanted. I asked a WIDE variety of

Last month, I have purchased self dumping hopper from Roura Material Handling. It is easy to fill and even easier to unload as it comes with a self dumping feature. Very handy in loading heavy items. Thank to Roura Material Handling for the fast, easy and safety of ordering.
