As the entry point for all waste entering a vertical chute system, the rubbish chute top hopper is engineered to streamline debris disposal from upper floors. Whether mounted to scaffolding or secured to a window frame, the hopper connects directly to chute sections and initiates the safe downward flow of waste into skips or designated containers below.
Moulded from high-quality MDPE and HDPE in a single-piece format, each top hopper retains its shape under pressure and is resistant to knocks, abrasion, and exposure to the elements. Its flared top design allows materials to be poured in easily from wheelbarrows, buckets, or hand tools without spillage or overshoot.
- Essential chute component - Serves as the topmost unit for guiding debris into connected chute sections.
- All-weather durability - Impact-resistant and UV-stable for long-term outdoor site use.
- Fits standard systems - Available for 20”, 22”, and 30” chute diameters.
- Fully equipped - Comes with brackets, chains, and wire rope fixings for secure linking.
- Frame compatible - Use with fixing frames for added stability on tall builds.
Used extensively across building renovations, scaffolded sites, and heavy groundworks operations, the top hopper is critical for maintaining safety and compliance. It prevents debris from falling uncontrolled and ensures workers can dispose of materials quickly with minimal interruption. Stackable when not in use, it supports efficient storage and redeployment between projects.
