FAQ about this model
What is the capacity of the Star 1530 hopper?
The 1530 holds 1.96 cubic yards of concrete, rated at 8598 lbs. That capacity applies to the hopper body itself, so check your mix weight per yard against the 8598 lb limit before loading a full batch.
Can the 1530 be used with a forklift?
Not with fork pockets. Star does not offer a forklift adapter for the 1530 — fork pocket adapters (1510FP and 1520FP) are only available for the smaller 1510 and 1520 models. The 1530 is built as a crane bucket.
What lifts or moves this hopper?
It's rated for use with cranes and excavators. General compatibility also lists forklifts, but since no forklift adapter exists for the 1530, plan on rigging it to a crane or excavator rather than forking it.
What are the dimensions of the 1530?
It stands 71 in tall (A) and measures 49 in wide (B). Use these figures to confirm clearance under your crane hook or excavator boom and to check it fits your job site access points.
How does the side chute design work?
The 1530 uses a low-profile body with a side chute, which directs concrete out to one side for placement rather than dumping straight down. This helps with pours where you need to reach into forms or tight spaces from an angle.
Does the 1530 meet any safety standards?
Yes, it is ASME compliant, meaning it's built to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers standards that apply to material handling equipment like concrete hoppers.
