Manual Self-Dump Bucket Features
-
No forklift modifications – simply slide onto forks and secure with locking pins.
-
Dual dump operation – release the bucket manually using the rear handle or with a remote rope release from the operator seat.
-
Automatic reset – lowering the bucket to the ground resets it for the next load.
-
Built-in safety lock – prevents accidental dumping during transport.
Hydraulic Self-Dump Buckets
Effortless, controlled dumping for high-efficiency material handling.
Take your forklift productivity to the next level with Star Industries' Hydraulic Self-Dump Buckets. Designed for precision and ease, these buckets allow operators to control material discharge with smooth, hydraulic action—ideal for repetitive loading tasks and high-volume applications.
Key Features:
-
Controlled dumping – precise hydraulic actuation ensures smooth, accurate material discharge.
-
Forklift-powered hydraulics – requires hydraulic flow from the forklift (hydraulic control valve not included).
-
Efficient integration – if your forklift has a hydraulic side shift, flow can often be redirected to operate the bucket cylinder.
-
Rugged construction – built with the same heavy-duty steel and smart engineering as our manual models.
Perfect for demanding material-handling environments where speed, control, and efficiency matter.
