Skid Steer Concrete Placement Bucket - Star Industries

📘 Overview

The Star Industries Skid Steer Concrete Placement Bucket turns your skid loader into a precise concrete placement machine — available in 1/2 cu yd (Model 120) and 3/4 cu yd (Model 125) capacities. No moving parts, no gates to freeze with old concrete, no hydraulics to contaminate with cement dust — just rugged welded steel with 1/2" thick steel bar floor protection, reinforced bucket corners, and an extra-high back that keeps concrete splatter off the loader. Simple to rinse out, simple to maintain. Typically pays for itself on the first pour by eliminating the labor and time of wheelbarrowing concrete to hard-to-reach form locations. 5-year factory guarantee. USA made since 1981.

⚙️ Key Features

• Model 120: 1/2 cu yd | Model 125: 3/4 cu yd
• No moving parts, gates, or hydraulics — nothing to break, freeze, or contaminate with concrete
• 1/2" thick steel bars on bucket bottom — resists abrasion from concrete aggregate
• Reinforced bucket corners — stronger sides for repeated concrete dumping loads
• Extra high back — keeps concrete splatter off the loader and cab
• Universal Quick Attach (SSQA)
• 5-year factory guarantee | USA made since 1981

🔑 Benefits

• Reaches tight and elevated pour locations that wheelbarrows and concrete buggies cannot access — skid steer boom reach and articulation allow the concrete bucket to be positioned directly over forms, columns, footings, and wall panels in locations inaccessible by gravity-fed chute or manual buggy. This is the primary use case: pours in basements, building interiors, behind excavated walls, and around equipment that blocks conventional access.
• No hydraulics means zero contamination risk and zero hydraulic maintenance cost — hydraulically-operated concrete dispensing systems are vulnerable to concrete-contaminated hydraulic fluid, accelerated seal wear from cement abrasive, and freeze-up of moving parts in winter operation. The Star bucket has no hydraulic connections to the attachment — concrete cannot contaminate the system, and cleanup is a simple rinse.
• 1/2" floor bars outlast standard concrete bucket floors in high-abrasion operations — concrete aggregate (especially gravel and crushed stone) is highly abrasive against steel. Standard concrete buckets use thin plate floors that wear through in 50–200 pours in heavy aggregate mixes. The 1/2" bar floor dramatically extends service life in production concrete operations.
• Pays for itself on the first pour by eliminating crew labor for wheelbarrowing — wheelbarrowing 3/4 cu yd of concrete (approximately 2,700 lbs wet) requires multiple crew members and significant labor time on each pour cycle. One operator with the skid steer concrete bucket matches or exceeds this rate with no additional crew required.

📊 Specifications

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) — compatible with all standard skid steer loaders. Calculate total load weight before use: wet concrete weighs approximately 3,600–4,000 lbs per cu yd depending on mix. A 3/4 cu yd load at 3,800 lbs/cu yd = approximately 2,850 lbs — verify your machine's rated operating capacity covers this plus the bucket weight.

🚜 Machine Compatibility

Compatible with skid steer loaders and compact track loaders with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) system:

Always calculate wet concrete weight before loading. Never exceed machine rated operating capacity.
