Turn Your Forklift into a Loader with the Self-Dump Bucket


The Star Industries Self-Dump Forklift Bucket is the perfect solution for moving loose material, including gravel, sand, and debris, around job sites or construction yards. Quickly installable with no modifications needed, it transforms your forklift into a mini dump truck.

  • Installs in minutes—no forklift modifications required
  • Manual self-dump option: easy to use with a rope release or handle at the back
  • Hydraulic self-dump option: precise control of discharge (requires forklift hydraulic flow)
  • Safety lock prevents accidental tripping of bucket release during transport
  • Perfect for loading loose material with effortless dumping and unloading

Two Convenient Self-Dump Options


Choose between the manual self-dump bucket for simple, reliable operation or the hydraulic self-dump bucket for more precise control of material discharge, depending on your operational needs.

  • Manual self-dump bucket:
    • No hydraulics required
    • Dumping can be triggered with a quick-release handle or remote rope release from the operator’s seat
    • Easy reset: lower the bucket to the ground to reset for the next load
    • Safety lock prevents accidental release during transport
  • Hydraulic self-dump bucket:
    • Precise control over the discharge speed
    • Requires hydraulic flow from the forklift (hydraulic control valve not included)
    • Can use forklift hydraulic side shift for bucket operation

Practical, Versatile, and Safe Material Handling


The self-dump forklift bucket enhances efficiency by allowing operators to empty the bucket’s contents from the cab, reducing the need for manual labor and improving jobsite safety.

  • Easy fit: slides over standard forklift forks for quick attachment
  • Automatic dumping enables the operator to dump material without leaving the cab
  • Versatile capacity: available in various sizes for different materials and load types
  • Safety features: includes secure locking mechanisms, reinforced edges, and compatibility with forklift safety cages

Returns

Please note that not all orders are eligible for return once they have been dispatched. Because we source products directly from manufacturers, we must adhere to their return policies. Additionally, built-to-order items are custom-made for your order and are therefore not eligible for cancellation or refund.

For eligible items, you have 30 days to return the product in new, unused condition for a refund. All returns must be authorized in advance. To start the return process, please contact us at info@attachmentspros.com or call (800) 331-2926 with your name, order number, and the reason for your return. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted.

Note: Once a product has been installed, used with equipment, connected to hydraulics, or shows any signs of wear or operation, it is no longer eligible for return—unless it is being evaluated for a warranty issue.

Return Shipping Costs

Return shipping and insurance costs are the responsibility of the customer, unless the return is due to an error on our part. We recommend using a trackable shipping method and considering insurance for your package, as we are not responsible for items that are lost, stolen, or damaged during return shipping.

Restocking Fees

Some manufacturers charge a restocking fee for returned items, typically between 5% and 20%. These fees will be the responsibility of the customer. However, we evaluate each return individually and will do our best to have the fee reduced or waived whenever possible.

If a return is initiated due to any of the following reasons, restocking fees will be completely waived: the items are defective or not working, the items do not match their description or photo, the wrong items were shipped, parts or pieces are missing, or the product arrived damaged.

Exchanges

If you've ordered an item that doesn’t fit your machine, we’re here to help coordinate an exchange.

To begin, simply return the original item. Once we’ve received and approved the return, you can place a new order for the correct product.

Please note that exchanges follow our standard return process, including any applicable restocking fees and return shipping costs.

Cancellations

Please note that built-to-order products are made specifically for each customer and cannot be canceled or refunded once production has started.

If you need to cancel an order that has already been shipped, please be aware that return shipping costs will be your responsibility. If you made a mistake and wish to cancel your order, please contact us as soon as possible via email at info@attachmentspros.com, through the chat in the bottom right corner, or by calling us at (800) 331-2926.

Damages and Defects

If you receive a damaged shipment, please document this on the freight delivery record and take pictures of the damages. Keep all packaging and notify us within 24 hours of receiving the merchandise at info@attachmentspros.com or call our support team at (800) 331-2926. We will process an insurance claim on your behalf.

If there is a manufacturing defect in the product, or if the product is not functioning as intended, please provide proof of the issues with either pictures or videos to this email: info@attachmentspros.com, or call our support team at (800) 331-2926.

You will be notified once your return is received and inspected, typically within 4-7 business days. Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method used when placing your order.

Warranty

All products are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty unless otherwise stated. Warranty terms vary by brand and product, so we encourage you to review the warranty information listed on each product page. Attachments Pros does not offer additional warranties beyond those provided by the manufacturer.

At Attachments Pros, we stand by our commitment to provide you with both outstanding quality and unbeatable prices. If you find a lower price on the same product from another authorized online retailer, we guarantee a price match and will strive to beat it if we can.
