📘 Overview
The Haugen trash hopper for forklift and telehandler fleets (MTH) is a fork-slot debris container for telehandlers and industrial forklifts. It slips over the pallet fork tines already on your machine — no quick-attach, no carriage change, no hydraulics. Fork pockets are 60" deep and accept tines up to 2.50" thick by 7.50" wide, and a chain with a shurlock hook secures the hopper to the pallet fork frame while you work. Five widths run from 5' to 9', all built on a common 4' tall by 5' deep frame so only the width changes.

⚙ Key Features of the Haugen Trash Hopper
- Five widths from 5' to 9' — capacities to 6.5 cubic yards
- Fork pockets 60" deep — fits tines up to 2.50" thick × 7.50" wide
- Chain with shurlock hook secures the hopper to the pallet fork frame
- Common 4' height × 5' depth across every size; width varies from 5' to 9'
- Slips over existing pallet fork tines — no attachment change required
- No auxiliary hydraulics required
🔑 Why a Fork-Slot Debris Hopper Beats Hand-Loading
- It mounts to the forks that are already on the machine. There is no coupler to operate and no carriage to swap. The operator positions the tines, slides them into the pockets, hooks the chain, and works. When the hopper is full, the same forks carry it to the container.
- 60" fork pockets take a long tine. The deeper the pocket, the more of the tine is engaged inside the hopper and the more of the hopper's length is carried by the fork rather than cantilevered past the end of it.
- The shurlock chain is what makes boom extension safe. Extending a telehandler boom with a loaded hopper puts the load in motion. The chain ties the hopper to the fork frame so it cannot walk forward off the tine tips during extension, retraction or travel.
- Width is the variable, so pick for your container. Every size shares the same 4' height and 5' depth. Choosing a size is really choosing how wide a hopper your receiving container and your site access will accommodate.

🔧 Choosing Your MTH Size
Every MTH hopper is 4' tall and 5' deep. The width sets the capacity and it is the only dimension that changes, so size selection comes down to two questions: how much debris you want to move per trip, and how wide a hopper your receiving container and travel path will take.
- MTH 455 — 5' wide, 3.5 cu. yd. The narrowest option, for tight sites and lighter machines.
- MTH 456 — 6' wide. A step up in width from the 455 while staying narrow enough for constrained access.
- MTH 457 — 7' wide, 5.0 cu. yd. Mid-size, and the widest that still leaves clearance on most sites.
- MTH 458 — 8' wide, 5.7 cu. yd. More volume per trip where width allows.
- MTH 459 — 9' wide, 6.5 cu. yd. The most capacity per trip; measure your container and access first.
🔗 Running the MTH on Your Existing Pallet Forks
The MTH works with the pallet forks you already run. It requires no coupler, no hydraulic circuit and no wiring. The hopper is emptied by raising the boom and tilting the forks to pour the contents into the receiving container — there is no tipping mechanism on the hopper itself, so your machine needs enough fork tilt to reach the dump angle you want.
🚜 Forklift & Telehandler Trash Hopper Compatibility
Fitment is decided by your fork tines, not by machine brand. The MTH fits any telehandler or industrial forklift whose tines are within these dimensions:
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Tine thickness | Up to 2.50" |
| Tine width | Up to 7.50" |
| Fork pocket depth available | 60" |
| Fork frame | Must accept the securement chain and shurlock hook |
Empty hopper weights run from 730 to 1,235 lbs before any debris is added. Check your machine's load chart at the boom extension and height you will actually be working at — that rated capacity, not the hopper, is what limits how much you can safely lift.
❓ Trash Hopper FAQs
How does the forklift trash hopper attach to my machine?
It slides onto your existing pallet fork tines. The fork pockets are 60" deep and accept tines up to 2.50" thick by 7.50" wide. Once the tines are seated, a chain fitted with a shurlock hook fastens the hopper to the pallet fork frame. No coupler operation, no hydraulic connection and no carriage change is involved.
Why does the hopper need to be chained to the fork frame?
Extending and retracting a telehandler boom with a loaded hopper puts the load in motion, and that motion can slide an unsecured hopper forward along the tines and off the tips. The chain and shurlock hook tie the hopper to the fork frame so it stays put through extension, retraction and travel. Secure the chain before moving the machine with a loaded hopper.
Does the hopper dump by itself?
No. The MTH is a fixed hopper with no tipping mechanism. You raise the boom to container height and use the fork tilt to pour the contents out. Your machine needs enough fork tilt range to reach the dumping angle you want, so check that against the container you empty into.
Which size fits a standard roll-off container?
Because every size shares the same height and depth — 4' tall by 5' deep — width is the deciding factor. Measure the receiving container you dump into and the tightest point on your travel path, then pick the widest hopper that clears both. The MTH 459 carries the most per trip at 9' wide; the MTH 455 at 5' is the one to choose when access is tight.
How much debris can I load into it?
Capacity is a volume figure — 3.5 to 6.5 cubic yards depending on size. What that volume weighs depends entirely on the material, and dense debris such as concrete rubble will reach your machine's limit long before the hopper is full. The hopper is not independently load rated; your telehandler's rated capacity at the working extension and height is the governing number. Work from your machine's load chart.
Do I need auxiliary hydraulics?
No. The MTH is entirely passive — it has no cylinders, motors, hoses or wiring. Any telehandler or industrial forklift with pallet forks in the right size range can run it.
