Product Description

Star Industries Heavy Duty Self-Dumping Forklift Hoppers

  • Available in five popular sizes, ½ to 2½ cuyd
  • Suitable for straight-mast and extendable reach forks
  • Ideal for removing concrete, plaster, brick and other construction waste

A Star Industries Self-Dump Hopper is the perfect way to collect, move and dispose of waste around the job site.

Constructed from rugged heavy-duty ¼ and 3/16 steel plate (not flimsy sheet metal) the hopper can take plenty of punishment and the large caster wheels (optional) makes it easy to wheel around the job site.

Features

These safety features are standard on all Star self-dump hoppers:

  • Rope Release – Can be used to trip the hopper from the ground or from the operator’s seat.
  • Safety Lock – Prevents accidental discharge when transporting a load. Must be disengaged before hopper will dump.
  • Safety Chain & Locking Grab Hook – Secures hopper to forklift and prevents hopper from accidentally sliding off forks.
  • Release Handle – At the back of hopper can be used to dump the load.

Hopper Options

Heavy-Duty Casters (CS)

Optional heavy-duty steel casters featuring 8" diameter polyurethane wheels with roller bearings. Set of 4 (2 swivel, 2 rigid) with pads. Casters are bolted to the hopper (not welded) so they can easily be replaced if damaged.

Lifting Hooks (LH)

Optional lifting hooks (eyes), set of 4, for handling hoppers with a crane. Note: Hopper can not be discharged while suspended with a crane.

Improve On-Site Waste Management with a Self-Dumping Forklift Hopper

Keeping a job site clean and efficient is no small task, especially when waste piles up quickly. The forklift self-dump hopper simplifies the process, offering a fast, safe, and hassle-free solution for collecting, moving, and disposing waste on a construction site.

Why Choose the Self-Dumping Hopper for Forklift Equipment?

This hopper is constructed from heavy-duty steel plate to withstand the most demanding conditions. Its full-length fork channels ensure quick and easy attachment to straight-mast and extendable-reach forklifts. With a load capacity of up to 6,000 lbs, it can handle significant amounts of waste between dumps.

Key Features

  • Optional Heavy-Duty Caster Wheels: Move the hopper effortlessly across smooth surfaces, encouraging workers to dispose of waste properly instead of leaving it on the ground.
  • Optional Crane Lifting Hooks: Easily elevate and transport the hopper using a crane for added versatility.
  • Self-Dump Release: A convenient rope release allows operators to dump loads from their seat, while a rear release handle provides an alternative option.
  • Safety Features: A safety lock prevents accidental discharge during transport, and a safety chain with a locking grab hook ensures the hopper stays securely attached to the forklift.

Versatile Applications

The forklift self-dumping hopper handles concrete, plaster, brick, and other construction debris. It’s designed to work seamlessly with straight-mast forklifts, extendable-reach forklifts, or cranes, making waste transfer to the main skip quick and efficient. Plus, it’s an OSHA-compliant solution, eliminating the risks and fines associated with using DIY trash boxes.
