Heavy Duty Trash Hoppers - Star Industries

📘 Overview

A Star Industries forklift trash hopper is placed where the work is and filled as the job progresses. The open face design is the point: crews wheel barrows and buggies straight in at floor level rather than lifting waste over a lip, which is what makes it usable on an upper floor, an elevated deck or a roof. When it is full the forklift picks it up and carries it to the disposal area. Two sizes are offered — the 1425 at 3.7 cu yd and the 1430 at 5.0 cu yd — both rated 5,000 lb with reinforced 3/16 inch plate steel sides and full length fork channels.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries Heavy Duty Trash Hopper

• Waste goes in at floor level, not over a lip — the open face means a loaded barrow rolls straight in. On an upper floor or a roof deck, that is the difference between a hopper crews actually use and one they pile beside.
• It goes where the work is — the forklift places the hopper on the floor, deck or roof being worked on, and only returns when it is full. Waste stops being carried down and across the site by hand.
• Full length fork channels do two jobs — they add strength across the bottom where a loaded hopper flexes, and they locate the forks at the correct pickup points so the load is balanced when lifted.
• 3/16 inch plate with reinforced edges and corners — the corners are where a trash hopper fails, because that is where dropped material concentrates. Reinforcing them is why this survives brick and concrete offcuts.
• The 1430 carries a third more than the 1425 — 5.0 cu yd against 3.7, at the same 5,000 lb rating, so the larger hopper suits bulky light waste like packaging and insulation where the 1425 fills before it loads.

🔗 What Ships With the Trash Hopper

Both hoppers arrive ready to place: reinforced 3/16 inch plate steel body, full length fork channels, and a 3 foot chain with locking grab hook to secure the hopper to the carriage as a secondary safety measure. The 1430 additionally includes end caps to strengthen the front edge and horizontal reinforcement for its extra wide capacity. Optional fork pins for the 1425 and 1430 are available separately for machines that need them, and a 5/16 inch safety chain assembly is stocked as a part.

🚜 Which Forklifts Fit This Forklift Trash Hopper?

The hopper is a universal fit for any forklift with a slip-on-forks design, including extendable-reach machines, which are what put a hopper onto an elevated deck or roof. Fork pockets accept forks up to 2.5 inches thick by 7 inches wide by 60 inches long, spaced 39 inches centre to centre, so check your fork dimensions against those figures. The 3 foot chain and locking grab hook should be fitted around the carriage before lifting. Both sizes are rated 5,000 lb, and your machine capacity at the height and reach you are placing at is the governing limit.
