Telehandler Trash Hoppers

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
