Pour concrete precisely the easy way!

Concrete buckets streamline pouring, enabling construction teams to work rapidly and precisely in the most challenging locations. The Star Industries 1500 Series of concrete buckets is designed with a reduced height to make filling from a redi-mix truck easier, and it’s ideal for batching. A concrete bucket takes less time and labor than wheelbarrows, is often less expensive than a concrete pumping system, and is more versatile to boot.

Why this concrete bucket is a ‘must-have’ for any busy construction site

  • Center and side unloading. The 1500 Series comes with a detachable side chute for flexible and precise concrete delivery to even hard-to-reach areas.
  • Regulation-conforming. Built to meet or exceed ASME regulations and supplied with the required labels, certificates and user and maintenance manual.
  • One-year warranty.
  • Simple design. A large lever operates two springs that open and close the discharge valve for efficient material flow and automatic gate closing.
  • Forklift adapter. The 1510 can be ordered with the optional fork attachment (includes a 6′6″ rubber hose) for use with any forklift.

Ordering Notes

  • The side chute is standard on all models.
  • The fork attachment option is offered for the 1510. The 1530 is a crane-pick bucket—contact us if you need forklift handling for the larger size.
  • Rigging is not included; rigging must be rated for the bucket plus a full concrete load.

Concrete Bucket for Crane and Forklift Jobs on Construction Sites

Using a concrete bucket is a boon for crews that want to get more from their existing equipment. This attachment changes the way teams manage concrete by allowing cranes and forklifts to transport and pour concrete efficiently, even in hard-to-reach places.

Key Features

Side Chute for Accurate Pouring

A detachable side chute allows precise pouring; the gate opens and closes to control the pour rate and place concrete exactly where needed.

Simple Design

Few moving parts and easy to clean. A large lever operates two springs that open and close the discharge valve.

Meets Safety Standards

Built to meet or exceed ASME regulations and supplied with required labels, certificates and manuals.

Reduced Height for Easy Filling

Lower profile makes filling from a redi-mix truck easier.

Advantages

Enhanced Efficiency

Leveraging cranes and forklifts for concrete transport and pouring streamlines workflows and reduces reliance on manual labor.

Superior Safety

Secure attachment and precise pouring mitigate the risks of manual concrete handling.

Economical Solution

Avoid specialized pumping equipment and lower labor costs; durable construction delivers a long service life.

Less Waste

Precision pouring reduces concrete waste on every pour.

Crane Concrete Bucket FAQs

What is a crane concrete bucket used for?

A crane concrete bucket allows contractors to hoist and place concrete in areas that are difficult to reach with conventional placement equipment—remote pours, elevated pours and structural work.

Can Star concrete buckets be used with crane trucks?

They may be used with conventional cranes as well as appropriately equipped crane trucks. The lifting equipment and rigging must always be suitable for the bucket, concrete load and jobsite conditions.

What is the warranty?

Star Industries crane concrete buckets carry a 1-year warranty.
