Concrete Hopper - Telehandler & Forklifts - Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

The Haugen HCH forklift concrete hopper is a fork-mounted concrete placement bucket for telehandlers and rough terrain forklifts — the practical solution for filling concrete forms in hard-to-reach places that a ready-mix truck cannot access. Available in four configurations: Manual Door (1 yd or 1-1/4 yd) and Hydraulic Door (1 yd or 1-1/4 yd). Fork pockets are 42" deep and fit tines up to 2.5" x 7.5". The manual gate opens and closes via a lever; the hydraulic gate uses a cylinder and fittings (customer provides hoses and couplers, one hydraulic circuit required). Weights: manual 1 yd = 570 lbs, manual 1-1/4 yd = 680 lbs, hydraulic 1 yd = 580 lbs, hydraulic 1-1/4 yd = 690 lbs. Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

⚙️ Key Features

• Two gate options: Manual lever or Hydraulic cylinder
• Two capacities: 1 cubic yard and 1-1/4 cubic yards
• Fork pockets 42" deep — fit tines up to 2.5" x 7.5"
• Slips over existing fork tines — no quick attach required
• Manual gate: lever-operated open/close
• Hydraulic gate: cylinder + fittings included; customer supplies hoses and couplers; requires 1 hydraulic circuit
• Ideal for filling concrete forms, columns, footings, and piers in confined or elevated areas
• Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

• Telehandler reach gets concrete to places a chute cannot — concrete pumps and ready-mix chutes are limited in reach and elevation. A telehandler with an HCH hopper can carry a full yard of concrete up, over, and into a form at 20–40 feet of height or horizontal reach, which is otherwise impossible without a pump truck.
• Hydraulic gate allows remote, precise flow control from the machine cab — the operator controls gate opening from the cab via auxiliary hydraulics, enabling single-person operation without a ground worker at the hopper. This is particularly valuable at height where a second person on a platform is a safety risk.
• Manual gate is a simpler, lower-cost solution where an assistant is available — no hydraulic hookup required; the lever gate is robust and straightforward. Suitable for smaller pours, footings, and column fills where precision control from the cab is less critical than reducing equipment cost.
• Fork-slot mounting works on any telehandler with forks — no dedicated quick attach adapter; the 42" fork pockets slip over standard tines, making the HCH usable on rental telehandlers and job site machines without additional hardware.

📊 Specifications

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

The HCH slips over fork tines — no quick attach required. Fork pockets are 42" deep and fit tines up to 2.5" x 7.5". Hydraulic models require one auxiliary hydraulic circuit on the machine. The operator must supply hydraulic hoses and couplers compatible with their machine. Verify your machine's hydraulic circuit flow and pressure rating is compatible with the gate cylinder before operating the hydraulic model.

🚜 Machine Compatibility

Fits telehandlers and forklifts with standard fork tines. Standard fork pocket: 3-1/2" x 7-1/2". Compatible with major brands:

Specify your machine make and model when ordering. Compatibility determined by fork tine dimensions and quick attach system.
