Gar-Bro Suspended Steel Hoppers – Controlled Flow for Vertical Placement

Built for Precision in Vertical Pours

Gar-Bro suspended hoppers are designed to provide clean, accurate concrete flow in tall forms, deep foundations, and elevated structures. Acting as an intermediate funnel beneath a concrete hopper or bucket, these units stabilize discharge and prevent splashing, overshoot, or segregation. Contractors rely on suspended hoppers to improve placement quality and reduce time spent on post-pour corrections.

Engineered for Demanding Applications

When working on tight columns, shafts, or deep formwork, precision is critical. The controlled discharge of suspended hoppers ensures material is directed exactly where it needs to go, keeping pours clean and efficient. For below-grade or underwater work, they pair seamlessly with tremie systems, providing the stability and control required for specialized applications. By staying centered above the pour zone, suspended hoppers deliver steady, aligned results every time.

Heavy-Duty Construction for Daily Use

Manufactured from high-strength steel, Gar-Bro suspended hoppers are built to withstand continuous loading and demanding site conditions. Reinforced frames and secure lifting points allow safe suspension from cranes or rigging systems. Like all Gar-Bro concrete equipment, these hoppers are engineered for long-term reliability, making them an essential part of any professional concrete handling setup.

Seamless Integration with Accessories

The versatility of suspended hoppers comes from their compatibility with other placement tools. They integrate easily with concrete hopper systems, guiding chutes, and a full range of bucket accessories. Crews appreciate how quickly they can be installed and removed, making them practical for projects that demand flexibility. When paired with tremie applications or other discharge tools, they help maintain safe, efficient flow across multiple stages of placement.

Why Choose Gar-Bro Suspended Hoppers?
