Trash & Loose Material Hoppers

  • Perfect for waste removal on job sites. Use skid-steer to dump hopper contents into larger containers or trash area when full.
  • Great for landscape yards and sites. Load full hopper on to the truck for delivery. Use onsite skid steer to dump hopper material right where it is needed.

Load and dump: deliver and place more material faster with a Star Industries Trash & Loose Material Hopper.

The large capacity hopper attaches directly to the skid steer making it easy to place and remove materials with minimal handling, disruption and cost. Quick attach options available for skid steers and most telehandlers.
  • Shell & sides are constructed from rugged 3/16" steel plate.
  • Entire Top Lip is formed into a channel section for added strength & rigidity.
  • Heavy 1/2" x 3" flat bar is formed to provide a stable base when the hopper is free standing.
  • Reinforced Heavy Duty Universal Quick-Tach fits most skid-steer loaders.
  • Forklift pick-up points are provided for moving hoppers around the yard or loading onto trucks.
  • Optional Casters — makes it easy for one man to push a hopper around inside a building.

Skid Steer Trash Hopper: for Efficient Waste Management

A skid steer trash hopper is a robust steel bin designed to attach directly to the skid steer. This attachment makes it easy to place and remove materials with minimal handling, disruption, and cost around the job site.

The trash hopper has become increasingly popular in construction, landscaping, agriculture, and industrial settings due to its ability to streamline cleanup processes and improve overall productivity. Trash hoppers come in various sizes, with capacities ranging from 1/2 cubic yard to 3 cubic yards or more, allowing users to choose the appropriate volume for their specific needs.

Key Features of Skid Steer Trash Hoppers

Perfect for waste removal on job sites, skid steer trash hoppers are often used as smaller waste material collectors that can be easily moved around the job site to collect waste. Then, they are tipped into larger containers when full.

Full hoppers can also be loaded onto trucks for delivery and then moved to where the material is needed by the skid steer and dumped. An example of this use case would be transporting soil for landscaping.

Other stand-out features that make a skid steer trash hopper a ‘must-have’ for any busy construction site include:

  • Heavy Duty Castors: Castors (wheels) make a great addition to a trash hopper. They allow the hopper to be easily wheeled around an interior job site or wherever there is a smooth floor surface. This increases the likelihood of getting rubbish into the bin first rather than having trash thrown on the ground for later cleanup.
  • Crane Lifting Eyes: Consider a trash hopper with lifting eyes that allow it to be elevated and moved around with a crane. This feature will allow the hopper to be used in otherwise hard-to-reach places.
  • Self-Dump Release: A quality skid steer trash hopper will have a self-dump release. This is a rope release that allows the operator to release the load seat making it quick and easy to dump the load into the main bin without having to dismount from the machine. Many hoppers also have a release handle at the back of the hopper that can be used to release the load.
  • Safety Locks and Chains: It’s important the trash hopper has a safety lock that must be disengaged before the hopper will dump. This feature prevents accidental discharge when transporting a load. It should also come with a safety chain & locking grab hook to properly secure the hopper to the skid steer and prevent the hopper from accidentally sliding off the forks.

Skid Steer Trash Hoppers Are Designed to Support OSHA Compliance

OSHA considers using improvised wooden trash boxes and other homemade attachments on construction sites a serious and willful breach, and fines range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

Unlike homemade trash boxes, which can lead to accidents on the job site, an engineering-certified and professionally manufactured skid steer trash hopper is OSHA-compliant.

A skid steer trash hopper attachment is also much safer and more versatile than a homemade trash box, making it a sensible, secure, and practical addition to any job site.
