Danger: Do NOT use without installing retaining pins behind the heel of each fork and securing with hairpins or cotter pins. Safety chain(s) must also be used. Wrap chain around a strong part of the fork carriage and secure with locking grab hook. Operating manual/safety information available online and by calling 1-800-541-1797.
A Forklift Concrete Hopper Equips You for Construction Jobs
A forklift concrete hopper, or forklift concrete bucket, is an practical and helpful tool in many industries. These attachments fit onto forklifts, enabling efficient handling and transport of concrete.
They are perfect for placing concrete into hard-to-reach places as the extended forklift can lift the hopper up and over obstacles to place the concrete exactly where it is needed. This makes them a worthwhile investment for any organization that works with concrete and wants faster project completion times, reduced labor costs, and improved overall safety.
Forklift Concrete Hopper Features
Durable Construction
At Star, our forklift concrete hoppers are made from high-quality steel, ensuring durability and longevity even under heavy use. Their robust construction is vital for handling concrete’s weight and abrasive nature and prevents wear and tear over extended periods.
Universal Fit-Fork Mounted
Most models feature universal fork pockets, allowing quick and secure mounting on standard forklift tines. This ease of attachment enables operators to swiftly convert their forklifts into concrete transporters without additional tools or machinery.
Discharge Mechanism
Many hoppers have a lever or hydraulic system that enables controlled and precise concrete pouring. This feature is essential for ensuring that concrete is deposited precisely where needed, minimizing waste, and improving the quality of work.
Swivel Chute
The adjustable chute allows the concrete pour to be swiveled 20 degrees on each side, allowing for more control and accuracy.
Improved Precision
The controlled discharge mechanism of forklift concrete hoppers and features such as the swivel chute allows for precise concrete placement. This accuracy is crucial for projects that require exact measurements and careful application, such as pouring concrete into molds, forms, or specific areas.
Using a Concrete Hopper for Forklift Jobs across Industries
The large pour capacity and the ability to use the extended forklift for placing concrete in difficult-to-access areas make the forklift concrete hopper a widely used attachment in various industries, including:
Construction
In construction, forklift concrete hoppers are invaluable for pouring foundations, walls, and slabs. Transporting concrete directly to the desired location reduces the need for wheelbarrows and manual labor, streamlining the workflow and improving productivity.
Landscaping
Landscaping projects often require precise concrete placement for features such as pathways, patios, and retaining walls. Concrete hoppers provide the accuracy needed for these tasks, allowing landscapers to achieve professional results efficiently.
Manufacturing
Hoppers are beneficial for manufacturing facilities that produce concrete products such as blocks, pipes, and prefabricated components. These attachments facilitate the transfer of concrete from mixing stations to molds and forms, ensuring a smooth and efficient production process.
Agricultural
In the agricultural sector, concrete is frequently used for constructing farm infrastructure such as barn floors, feed troughs, and foundations for equipment sheds. Forklift concrete hoppers enable farmers to easily transport and pour concrete, enhancing the efficiency of building and maintenance tasks on the farm.
