Streamline Material Handling with Versatile Quick Attach Hoppers

At McCullough Industries, we design our products to match the demands of industrial workflows. The Wright® Quick Attach Hopper delivers unmatched mobility, safety, and efficiency—built to connect directly to your loader’s quick attach plate and operate using the machine's existing hydraulic system.


If your job requires repeated loading, dumping, and repositioning, our Quick Attach Hoppers give you the power to do it all from the operator's seat. No external lift trucks. No manual unhooking. Just lock in and go.

What Is a Quick Attach Hopper?

A Quick Attach Hopper is a self-dumping hopper engineered to connect directly to skid steers, compact loaders, and utility tractors using the standard quick tach plate. Once connected, the unit uses your machine’s onboard hydraulics to dump loads precisely, reducing operator exposure and saving time.


Compared to forklift hoppers or manual dump bins, quick attach units:


  • Operate anywhere your machine goes (construction sites, farmyards, warehouse floors)
  • Allow direct hydraulic actuation for controlled dumping
  • Require no additional equipment or accessories
  • Reduce labor and turnaround time

Applications for Quick Attach Hoppers

Quick attach hoppers are perfect for:


  • Agricultural waste and silage removal
  • Construction debris collection
  • Pallet shop offcuts
  • Landscaping and yard waste cleanup
  • Material transfers in multi-acre facilities


Where forklifts can’t go or when time is tight, the quick attach design turns your loader into a true multi-use asset.

Hydraulic Integration Built for Safety and Precision

Unlike generic buckets or scoops, MCI’s Quick Attach Hoppers feature:


  • Welded hydraulic cylinder mounts for seamless install
  • Reinforced base and top rail for tilt cycle loads
  • Heavy-duty hose guards and routing
  • Manual safety pin backup for OSHA compliance


These features reduce operator strain, increase dump precision, and ensure that every load tips smoothly and resets automatically.

Durability That Matches Your Loader

Our Quick Attach Hoppers are built using the same high-strength standards found in our GEN II line:


  • 7-gauge main body steel with reinforced edges
  • Continuous seam welding to resist warping
  • Powder coated finish for weather and impact protection
  • Greaseable pivot pins for smooth operation over time


Where other attachments rattle, rust, or buckle, ours work like an extension of your machine.

FAQS

  • What type of equipment is compatible with Quick Attach Hoppers?

    Most compact loaders and skid steers with universal quick attach plates.

  • Do I need special hydraulics or hookups?

    A self-dumping hopper and other material handling equipment have a variety of uses that make them indispensable in many industries and businesses. They are a great tool to use for storage, handling, recycling and transportation. No matter what you need, McCullough Industries makes the material handling equipment that you need to get the job done right.


    Because our material handling equipment comes in so many different sizes and holding capacities, they are just perfect for storing many different objects. Generally, hoppers can hold anywhere from 1,000 to 6,000 pounds, making them cost-effective for bulky jobs. Self-dumping hoppers can be used temporarily and can be moved by forklift from site to site as your company takes on new projects or your needs change. With the addition of specialty lids, you can even use self-dumping hoppers to hide debris from the view of your customers.


    Because self-dumping hoppers are precision built to unload the materials on their own and then snap back up into a secure locked position, you save man hours and reduce the risk of injury to employees by using them. For recycling purposes, your used papers, unneeded cardboard and cast-off packaging materials can be neatly stored in an industrial storage bin to be brought to the recycling plant. Wood and metal scraps, copper plumbing tubes, dry wall, nails and roof tear offs can be kept neatly and efficiently in one spot, protected from the elements and protecting the workers – a clean and organized worksite is a safe worksite. 


    Wheeled material handling equipment can make transporting materials a breeze. Everything is already stored in one spot and can be moved to where you need it with ease. No more moving several pieces of equipment separately. And, because of their unique stacking feature, empty material handling equipment can be stored without taking up space.

  • How does the dumping mechanism work?

    Hydraulic cylinders on each side tilt the hopper forward under operator control. No chains or latch bars needed.

  • Can this hopper be used for wet or corrosive materials?

    Yes. Optional liners and galvanized finishes are available for more aggressive materials.
