What are Concrete Hoppers

Concrete hoppers are the ultimate containers for handling and placing concrete in construction and industrial applications. Attach them to forklifts, telehandlers or other heavy machinery and you can transport and place concrete with ease. Made of heavy gauge steel or high-density polyethylene, concrete hoppers are built to be tough and durable to last on the job site.

These concrete hoppers come in various sizes and capacities from small mini hoppers to large heavy-duty models to fit your project needs. Features like adjustable swivel chutes, integrated flanges and sturdy chains for hanging make them easy to use and maneuver even in hard to reach areas like high-rise buildings or bridge construction. Concrete hoppers are a cost effective solution for concrete placement, no need for pumps and other equipment and you can distribute concrete easily and accurately.

Moreover, concrete hoppers meet safety standards and often carry an engineer’s stamp of approval so you can operate safely and reliably. Whether you’re working on a big construction project or a small job, concrete hoppers are a practical and efficient way to handle and place concrete, they’re a must have tool for any construction professional.
