A Minecart with Hopper will pull in items lying nearby or inside a container placed directly above the minecart, at a rate of up to 20 items per second, which is a little over seven times as fast as a normal hopper. It can also pick up items that are lying on a block directly above the track.

It does not push items into containers but a hopper underneath the track can remove items from a Minecart with Hopper on the track. Ordinary hoppers can also drop items into a Minecart with Hopper like other containers, at the normal speed of 2.5 items per second.
