A trash hopper gives your telehandler or forklift a way to collect, carry, and dump construction debris without a laborer handling the load twice. Crews fill it at the work face, the machine picks it up on standard forks, and the operator dumps from the seat — self-dumping models tip and re-latch on their own. Skid Steers Direct carries hoppers from Star Industries and Haugen Attachments, plus crane trash skips for lifting hook applications. Size by weight, not volume: wet drywall, masonry, and concrete rubble reach your machine's limit at a fraction of the capacity framing scrap would. Check your load chart at the height and reach you'll actually dump from.
It's a container that mounts to fork tines or a lifting hook so a telehandler, forklift, or crane can collect and dump construction debris. Crews load it at the work face, the
machine carries it, and the operator dumps it — usually into a roll-off — without leaving the seat. It replaces repeated hand-carrying of scrap and keeps debris off
decks and out of walkways.
How does a self-dumping hopper work?
A self-dumping hopper is held upright by a latch. When the operator releases that latch — by rope, lever, or from the cab depending on the model — the hopper body
rotates forward on its pivot and empties, then swings back and re-latches on its own as it returns upright. That lets one person dump repeatedly without a groundman
standing under the load.
What size trash hopper do I need?
Size by weight, not just by volume. Framing scrap and packaging fill a large hopper long before it gets heavy, but drywall, masonry, tile, and concrete rubble reach
your machine's limit at a fraction of the volume. Estimate the heaviest material you'll routinely load, then check your telehandler's load chart at the height and reach
where you'll be dumping.
Will a trash hopper fit my telehandler?
Fork-mounted hoppers have pockets sized for standard fork tines and fit most telehandlers and forklifts regardless of brand. What varies is tine width and spacing, so measure your forks before ordering. Hook-mounted crane skips are a different mount entirely and need a lifting hook or crane rigging. Contact us with your machine
model if you're unsure which style suits your work.
Can a trash hopper be used with a skid steer?
Not directly in most cases. Fork-mounted hoppers need fork tines, so a skid steer would need a pallet fork attachment first, and the available dump height is much
lower than a telehandler's. For skid steer work, a dumpster bucket that mounts to the quick-attach plate is usually the better answer. Tell us which machine you're
running and we'll point you to the right style.

I have two of these buckets. One with weld on teeth the other with the bolt on smooth edge. The tooth buckets is truly a bad boy when it comes to digging dirt. Lol I have a JCB 225 I use these buckets on and with a large cubic inch engine they have exceptional low end torque. I can dig hard dirt very easily and hardly above idle and this pushes in and gets a heaping buck immediately. Very HD buckets I will be long gone and buried before these buckets are even look used and decades before they are worn out. These are high quality industrial attachments. Berlon in my opinion builds wonderful attachments in there HD line. Highly recommended.
I got one and with a loader hitch conversion I use it on my John Deere tractor. It works amazing! So far I am super happy with it! Thanks for the product and the free shipping.
Well built and very good purchase. It beats mulching on trails or even clearing property to ready to build sites. No stumps to deal with or mess to clean up. I have worked over 60 hours with one and made several miles of trail for riding horses on . With in a few months they look like they have been there for years. I’ve cleaned up fence line covered with pines and no mess left behind. If you want a cleared clean finish job it is the way to go. I pull everything out by the roots and burn it or mulch the pile when I’m done. Attached are a few pictures of what I’ve pulled up with ease.

Looks like a huge time saver
I just picked this grapple up as well as an HD skeleton rock grapple bucket. Both of these look like they will come in handy for clean up around my rental properties. I am sure they will pickup the large amount of tenants left over property that sometimes a tenant will leave behind. I actually bought this one to load broken up cement after I have used a breaker on it. I am expecting this to work well at the jobs I have planned for it. So much easier to load a my dump trailer mechanically than by hand in fact I am handicapped and these will make some jobs I can do without hiring someone to do them for me. All the burlon pieces I have work well and are strongly built.
I bought one of these to make it easier to park trailers into my backyard trailer parking lot. This makes it easy to park my group of trailer into the yard. I am located mid alley so it is very tight to back them in with a truck and I am packing the seven of them in a small space. This one a great tool for the jod. The one thing that makes this my first choice is that it is long enough so you can turn the trailer hard on direction one way or the other. Very strongly built. Very easy to see the ball which makes it a snap to pickup a trailer hitch with. Highly recommended
I have bought seven pieces of Berlon attachments in my opinion they make incredibly well made and well engineered items. Highly recommended!
