Southern Fabrication Specialties has designed construction/trash hoppers at the request of construction companies who want to keep their employees safe, and also  remain in compliance with OSHA requirements. Our construction hoppers are used in a variety of industries, such as construction, warehousing, agriculture and for  any other material handling businesses that need to process, dispose or relocate materials.

They are ideal for use by:

  • Multi- level construction sites
  • Roofing companies
  • Framing companies
  • Drywall contractors

 Hoppers can also work for:

  • Refractory installers
  • Masons
  • Demolition crews
  • Tree trimmers
  • Agricultural industry

 Trash hoppers can be easily attached to most reach forklifts and/or extended boom lifts in order to move materials up and down and into hard to reach places. They   attach to fork pockets with a pin that secures behind each fork. It also has a chain that can be wrapped around the mast and guard. This allows the hopper to be   dumped and keeps the hopper secured to the forks. Ideal for a worksite, our construction hoppers work well in multi-story building construction applications, as they   can be attached to a telehandler and elevated to accept discarded materials or trash. 

 

Our hoppers are built out of 3/16” thick metal. We corrugate the walls for extra strength. They are reinforced along the back wall for rigidity and for the chain  attachment. They are built for strength and durability, and there are no flimsy walls on these hoppers.

The standard hopper was designed to stay within the DOT width requirements of 8’ 6” if it was hauled sitting sideways on a trailer.

Trash Hoppers Can Help Avoid OSHA Violations Like These:

Example: Two employees are working to unload materials in an unapproved fork mounted personnel work platform, using a jobsite made, wooden trash box  supported  by the forks but not attached to the forks of a rough terrain forklift. The trash box was then elevated to upper levels, at height of 10’ or higher, at an  apartment building under construction. Doing this exposed the workers to the hazard of falling from a height of more than ten feet. Using a Southern Fabrication  Specialties trash hopper could have helped avoid this violation.
