About this product
📘 Overview
A Star Industries skid steer hopper attaches directly to the loader, so material is delivered and placed in one movement instead of being shovelled twice. Load the hopper at the yard, carry it to the truck, and use the skid steer on site to dump it exactly where it is needed. Three widths are offered — the 151 at 48 inches and 1.0 cu yd, the 152 at 72 inches and 1.5 cu yd, and the 153 at 84 inches and 1.75 cu yd. The shell and sides are rugged 3/16 inch steel plate, the entire top lip is formed into a channel section for rigidity, and a heavy 1/2 x 3 inch flat bar base lets the hopper stand free.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries Trash and Loose Material Hopper
- Material is placed, not double-handled — load once at the yard and dump where the work is. On a landscape job that removes an entire barrow stage between the truck and the bed.
- It stands free when it comes off the machine — the 1/2 x 3 inch flat bar base means the hopper sits stable on the ground rather than needing to be propped or laid over, so it can be filled while detached.
- Two ways to move it, machine or forklift — the quick-tach carries it on the loader, and separate forklift pick-up points let a different machine shift it around the yard or load it onto a truck.
- The formed top lip is what stops the mouth spreading — an open-topped hopper flexes at the rim under load. Forming the whole lip into a channel section is a structural fix rather than a bolted-on brace.
- Casters turn it into a fill station — the optional 1000-0510 kit adds four pads, two swivel and two rigid casters, so crews can wheel a hopper along a bed and fill it as they go.

Every hopper arrives with its reinforced universal quick-tach, formed channel top lip, flat bar base and forklift pick-up points. The one option is the caster kit, part 1000-0510, which supplies four pads, two swivel casters and two rigid casters so one person can push a hopper around a building or along a planting bed. Ordering the hopper with the caster kit uses the combined SKUs 151-1000-0510, 152-1000-0510 and 153-1000-0510; ordering without gives the plain 151, 152 or 153.
🚜 Which Machines Fit This Skid Steer Hopper?
The hopper mounts on a reinforced heavy duty universal quick-tach that fits most skid steer loaders, and Star also offers quick attach options for most telehandlers. Compact track loaders using the standard universal quick attach coupler take it as well. No auxiliary hydraulics are needed — the hopper is dumped by rolling the attachment forward on the loader arms. Separate forklift pick-up points are built in, so a forklift can reposition a loaded hopper without the skid steer being involved.

What is a trash and loose material hopper used for?
Delivering and placing material in one movement. This trash hopper skid steer attachment is loaded at the yard, carried to site, and dumped by the loader exactly where the material is needed — removing a barrow or shovel stage that would otherwise sit between the truck and the work.
Which hopper size should I choose?
The 151 is 48 inches wide at 1.00 cu yd, the 152 is 72 inches at 1.50 cu yd and the 153 is 84 inches at 1.75 cu yd. Match the width to your machine so the hopper clears a path, then check the loaded weight of your material against the machine rated operating capacity.
Can the hopper stand on its own when detached?
Yes. A heavy 1/2 inch by 3 inch flat bar is formed into a stable base, so the hopper sits free on the ground. That is what allows it to be filled while off the machine and picked up when full.
What does the caster kit add?
The 1000-0510 kit supplies four pads, two swivel casters and two rigid casters, so one person can push the hopper around a building or along a bed. Order the combined SKU — 151-1000-0510, 152-1000-0510 or 153-1000-0510 — to include it.
Does the hopper need auxiliary hydraulics?
No. It is dumped by rolling the attachment forward on the loader arms, so no hydraulic connection is required. It mounts on the standard universal quick-tach.
Can a forklift move the hopper?
Yes. Forklift pick-up points are provided specifically so a hopper can be moved around the yard or loaded onto a truck without the skid steer. That is often how a full hopper gets onto the delivery vehicle.
Will it fit a telehandler?
Quick attach options are available for most telehandlers as well as skid steers. Give your machine make and model at checkout so eskidsteer can confirm the correct quick attach before the order is built.
What is the hopper made from?
The shell and sides are rugged 3/16 inch steel plate, and the entire top lip is formed into a channel section for added strength and rigidity — which is what stops the mouth spreading under repeated loading.
How is this different from a self dumping hopper?
This hopper mounts on the loader quick-tach and is dumped by rolling the attachment forward. A self dumping hopper slips onto forklift forks and tips with a rope release. Choose this one for skid steer work and material placement, and the self dump hopper for forklift waste collection cycles.
What warranty comes with the hopper?
The Star Industries trash and loose material hopper carries a 5-year factory guarantee and is made in the USA.
How do I order and how is shipping calculated?
Add the hopper to your cart on eskidsteer.com and complete checkout online. Shipping is calculated at checkout once you enter your delivery address, with lift gate service available for residential deliveries.
