Concrete Hopper

This Star Industries concrete hopper is a game - changer for placing concrete in hard - to - reach areas. Forget about the extra costs of a concrete pump or crane. Instead, use your extendable forklift with this hopper. With a ¾ cuyd capacity, it can hold a large amount of concrete for one - time placement. It has a universal fit (slip - on - forks) for both straight mast and extendable reach forklifts. The included adjustable swivel chute has a 30” effective length, swings 40 degrees (20 degrees each side), and its slope can be fully adjusted with a chain. The discharge gate is manually controlled via the handle with multiple handle positions available. It's made of heavy - gauge steel with an all - welded construction. Model 1575 has a 3/4 cuyd capacity and an empty weight of 770lbs.

Using the Star Industries concrete hopper is easy. First, attach it to your forklift. Thanks to its universal fit, it works well with both straight mast and extendable reach forklifts. Once attached, load the concrete into the hopper. You can use the adjustable swivel chute to direct the concrete to the hard - to - reach areas you need. Just adjust the slope of the chute using the chain and swing it to the right position. To release the concrete, use the handle to open the discharge gate. You can choose different handle positions according to your needs. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the all - welded heavy - gauge steel construction for any signs of damage. Keep the chain for the chute and the handle for the discharge gate clean and lubricated. Also, after each use, make sure to clean the hopper to prevent concrete from hardening inside.
