Description

Suspended Steel Hoppers – Precision Flow Control for Vertical Concrete Placement

When it comes to accurate concrete delivery in deep forms or elevated placements, Gar-Bro’s suspended steel hoppers offer a trusted solution. Designed for use beneath concrete buckets or collection hoppers, these heavy-duty hoppers ensure steady, splash-free flow into columns, wall forms, or tremie systems, even in the most challenging jobsite conditions.

Engineered for Controlled, Vertical Discharge

These hoppers are ideal for situations that demand precise, controlled placements such as tall formwork, narrow vertical columns, or deep foundational pours. Acting as an intermediate funnel between a larger concrete hopper and final discharge point, these hoppers stabilize the flow of concrete and reduce the risk of spillage, overshoot, or segregation.

When used in conjunction with a tremie, Gar-Bro’s suspended steel hoppers provide the necessary control for placing concrete below grade or underwater. The suspended configuration keeps the hopper centered directly above the pour zone, enabling consistent, aligned discharge that enhances the quality of your placement and reduces post-pour corrections.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction for Demanding Jobsites

Crafted from high-strength steel and engineered for durability, these suspended steel hoppers are built to perform under continuous load and extreme conditions. Their reinforced framework and stable lifting points ensure secure operation while suspended by a crane or rigging system.

Each hopper is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Gar-Bro concrete equipment, including collection hoppers, chutes, and bucket accessories. This compatibility makes them an essential component in multi-stage concrete delivery systems, especially where tight precision and reliability are required.

Adaptable and Easy to Use

Available in various sizes to accommodate different pour volumes and jobsite requirements, Gar-Bro’s suspended steel hoppers are easy to install and operate. Their compact design allows for controlled placement in restricted or congested vertical zones, while their open-top configuration enables quick loading from above.

Whether you’re managing large-scale infrastructure projects or complex commercial pours, these hoppers give your team a greater degree of control over every step in the concrete delivery process.
