Trash Hopper For Telehandlers - Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

The Haugen MTH is a trash hopper telehandler attachment — a high-capacity fork-slot debris container that slips onto standard telehandler pallet fork tines — no quick-attach required. Fork pockets are 48" deep, fits tines up to 2.5"×7.5". Chain with shurlock hook secures the hopper to the pallet fork frame during operation. Available in five sizes: MTH 455 (4'×5'×5', 3.5 cu yd, 730 lbs) through MTH 459 (4'×5'×9', 6.5 cu yd, 1,135 lbs). Used primarily for construction site cleanup and roofing material removal. Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

⚙️ Key Features

• Five sizes: MTH 455 (3.5 cu yd) through MTH 459 (6.5 cu yd)
• Fork pockets: 48" deep | fits tines up to 2.5" × 7.5"
• Chain with shurlock hook secures hopper to pallet fork frame
• High-capacity design — from 3.5 to 6.5 cubic yards per load
• Site cleanup and roofing material removal
• No hydraulics required
• Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

• Fork-slot mounting provides immediate compatibility with any telehandler without attachment changes — the MTH slips over the pallet fork tines that are already on the machine, with no carriage change, no quick-attach operation, and no coupler involvement. This makes loading the hopper a matter of positioning the fork under the hopper, sliding the tines in, and securing the chain. Total setup time is under a minute from the cab.
• 48" deep fork pockets accommodate the longer tines on industrial forklifts and telehandlers — most fork-slot attachments use 36-40" fork pockets. The MTH's 48" pockets fit the longer tines common on larger industrial telehandlers, ensuring the hopper sits properly balanced on the tines at the tine tips rather than on the first 36" of a longer tine.
• Chain-and-shurlock attachment prevents hopper shift during load and dump operations — when the telehandler extends its boom to dump the hopper into a dumpster, container, or truck, the hopper is under significant inertial load during extension and retraction. The chain secures the hopper to the fork frame, preventing the hopper from sliding forward off the tines during this cycle.
• Roofing material removal is one of the highest-value use cases — old shingles, membrane material, and roofing debris are heavy, bulky, and hazardous to move manually. Loading debris directly into the MTH on the roof level (using the telehandler boom to position the hopper at eave height) and then depositing the full hopper directly into a dumpster is the most efficient shingle removal workflow in the industry.

📊 Specifications

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

Slips over standard telehandler or industrial forklift pallet fork tines. At 730–1,135 lbs of hopper weight plus debris load (roofing debris averages ~200–250 lbs per square), verify your machine's rated operating capacity at the applicable boom extension before loading.
