Description

Gar-Bro Steel Trunk Collar – Secure Connections for Vertical Placement

Built for Stability and Precision

The Gar-Bro steel trunk collar is engineered to create a safe and durable connection. The connection is between your concrete bucket and a concrete elephant trunk. By fastening the trunk securely to the base of the bucket or hopper, the steel trunk collar ensures smooth, controlled discharge during vertical pours. Contractors rely on it for demanding applications. Applications like columns, caissons, and tremie setups where precision and flow control are critical.

Reliable Attachment for Vertical Discharge

A properly installed steel trunk collar eliminates the risks of slippage, misalignment, or leakage during concrete placement. This reliability makes it essential for projects requiring accuracy in deep forms, tight shafts, or below-grade foundations. When paired with a concrete elephant trunk or used in a tremie pipe system, the collar keeps the setup stable and efficient. This gives crews confidence that every pour will be executed with consistency.

Rugged Construction for Heavy-Duty Use

Manufactured from reinforced, high-strength steel, the steel trunk collar withstands repeated use under the pressures of active jobsites. Its heavy-duty build ensures long-lasting performance. This is shown when handling stiff mixes or high-volume pours. By providing a seamless transition from concrete bucket to trunk, it reduces turbulence, improves flow quality, and enhances overall pour efficiency. Like all Gar-Bro concrete equipment, it is built to deliver durability and safety in the toughest environments.

Easy Integration with Concrete Equipment

Designed for flexibility, the collars install quickly and adapts to various trunk diameters, making it convenient for crews working across multiple projects. Whether attaching to an R-Series bucket or preparing for a deep pour with a tremie setup, this component integrates smoothly with other Gar-Bro concrete equipment. Crews also benefit from its easy removal, which simplifies adjustments between pours and keeps downtime to a minimum.

Why Choose the Gar-Bro Steel Trunk Collar?

Contractors choose the steel trunk collar because it ensures secure, efficient, and accurate vertical placement. More than just a connection point, it helps your concrete bucket and concrete elephant trunk function as one system, reducing risks and improving flow.

Dependable Performance, Every Pour

For projects where vertical discharge is critical, trust the steel trunk collar to deliver the rugged reliability and precision your crew needs.
