I don't know the official name but they're a self dumping hopper or tipper usually used for scrap steel. A forklift picks them up and the bin will dump when the forks are tilted forward. The chain is attached to the forklift boom so the whole thing doesn't slide off. For the back of a tractor they'd be pretty heavy and would hold a lot more than a yard. Heavy wet clay or sand can weigh over 3000 lbs. a yard. Google weight of soils and weights of different materials should come up. Buckets for heavy equipment usually specify weights of different materials as well. Dave
