Concrete buckets make pouring faster and more accurate, even in hard-to-reach places. The Star Industries 1500 Series is built with a reduced height so it’s easier to fill from a redi-mix truck. It’s ideal for batching and requires far less time and labor than hauling concrete with wheelbarrows. In many cases, it’s also a more affordable and versatile option than a pumping system.

These buckets can attach to cranes, excavators, or forklifts, giving crews a simple way to move and place concrete across the job site.

Why the 1500 Series Is a Must-Have on Busy Job Sites

  • Center and side unloading: Comes with a detachable side chute for flexible and precise placement.

  • Multiple capacities: Available in 1.0, 1.3, and 2.0 cubic yard sizes.

  • Built to standard: Meets or exceeds ASME regulations and includes all required labels and documentation.

  • One-year warranty: Coverage excludes blades and hoses.

  • Simple and reliable: A large lever and dual springs control the discharge valve for smooth flow and automatic gate closing.

  • Forklift adapter available: Add the optional adapter to switch between crane and forklift use.

Concrete Buckets for Crane and Forklift Jobs

Concrete buckets help crews get more done with equipment they already have. With a forklift or crane, teams can transport and pour concrete quickly, safely, and with far less manual effort.

Key Features

  • Detachable side chute: Allows accurate, controlled pouring.

  • Simple design: Few moving parts and easy to clean; lever-operated discharge valve.

  • Flexible mounting: Can attach to cranes, excavators, or forklifts for easy transport and placement.

  • Meets safety standards: Built to ASME requirements with proper certifications and manuals.

  • Reduced height: Makes loading from a redi-mix truck smoother.

  • Multiple capacities: Suited for both small tasks and large-scale pours.

  • Quick attachment: Mounts easily on standard forklift forks with no extra tools needed.

Advantages of Using a Forklift or Crane Concrete Bucket

  • Higher efficiency: Faster concrete placement with less manual labor.

  • Better safety: Secure attachment and controlled pouring reduce job site hazards.

  • Cost savings: Avoids the need for specialized pumps and cuts labor hours.

  • Lower waste: Precise placement reduces spills and excess concrete use.

  • More eco-friendly: Efficient handling can lower fuel use and emissions.

Where Concrete Buckets Are Used

  • Construction: Faster placement for foundations, walls, floors, and tight-access pours.

  • Manufacturing: Reliable, accurate pouring for precast elements like slabs, beams, and pipes.

  • Landscaping: Ideal for pathways, curbs, and decorative concrete features where accuracy matters.
