Accordion Hoppers – Flexible, Controlled Concrete Placement for Any Jobsite
Gar-Bro’s accordion hoppers are designed to give contractors maximum control over concrete discharge, especially when working in tight, congested, or delicate formwork conditions. Built from durable, high-quality rubber, these hoppers offer unmatched flexibility and flow regulation, making them an essential attachment for improving concrete placement efficiency and minimizing mess.
Smooth, Splash-Free Discharge Every Time
Unlike rigid concrete hoppers, Gar-Bro’s accordion hoppers feature a collapsible design that allows concrete to be funneled smoothly and accurately into forms. The flexible rubber body absorbs discharge force and helps guide material with minimal splashes, reducing the risk of over-pouring or misplacement, particularly important when working around rebar, embedded hardware, or tight forms.
This makes accordion hoppers ideal for use in vertical structures, columns, and specialty formwork, where traditional discharge tools fall short. They also help limit air entrapment, leading to a higher quality finish with less vibration and cleanup.
Built for Compatibility and Efficiency
Gar-Bro offers a range of accordion hoppers to fit its most popular bucket models. Whether you’re using an R-Series, LP-Series, G-Series, or other compatible bucket, there’s a hopper designed to match. Quick to install and easy to operate, these hoppers integrate seamlessly with your concrete equipment and are a cost-effective upgrade for crews seeking to improve placement control.
Several hopper options are available, including:
- Standard and extended-length versions
- Models compatible with hoppers 409, 409-E, 409-U, and 409-W
- Designed for use with bucket accessories like extension collars and gate levers
They also work exceptionally well in conjunction with a tremie, offering even more controlled placement in deep formwork or underwater concrete pours.
Durable, Jobsite-Proven Design
Constructed from rugged industrial-grade rubber, these accordion hoppers are built to endure daily use on busy construction sites. Their flexibility doesn’t compromise strength, they maintain shape under load while withstanding harsh environmental conditions, repeated folding, and constant exposure to wet materials.
