Rhino Coffee Gear Thumpa Large Knockout Tube

This Thumpa is a 860mm (33.86 in) tall knockout tube which was designed with durability in mind. Commercial coffee waste bins need to withstand being hit, bashed and dropped without coming apart.  The Thumpa is virtually indestructible and perfect for the demanding needs of a busy coffee shop. Using high density, shock-resistant polyethylene (HDPE), the Thumpa can take a beating!

The flared collar retains excess splatters. The slotted bar inserts and removes easily for cleaning, replacement and maintenance. The top is also easily removed for easy emptying or for use in conjunction with a waste bag.  

The tube can be easily dismantled and cut down if a different size is desired.

Each component of the Thumpa is replaceable, ensuring your whole Thumpa will last and last.

Built to Take a Thumping — Daily, for Years
Commercial espresso environments put knockboxes through hard use: hundreds of knocks per day, drops, splashes, occasional kicks from trolleys. A waste bin that comes apart or cracks under this treatment isn't just inconvenient — it's a hygiene and workflow problem. The Rhino Thumpa Large is built to a different standard. Standing 860mm tall with a 225mm flared collar and a base width of 220mm, it's constructed from high-density, shock-resistant polyethylene (HDPE) — the same material category used for commercial-grade refuse bins and food-safe industrial containers. Rhino describes it as virtually indestructible, and the weight backs that up: at 10kg, this is a floor-standing knockout tube designed for the demands of a busy café, manufactured in Australia.

Designed for Serviceability, Not Replacement
What separates the Thumpa Large from a cheaper alternative isn't just the HDPE — it's the design philosophy. Every component is replaceable: the slotted knock bar inserts and removes easily for cleaning, replacement, and maintenance; the top lifts off for easy emptying or for use with compatible waste bag liners (Rhino Thumpa Large Degradable Waste Bags, sold separately); and the tube can be dismantled and cut down if a shorter height is needed for a specific installation or storage clearance. The flared collar at the top retains excess splatter, keeping the surrounding bench area cleaner during high-volume knocking. Tube-only dimensions: 160mm outer diameter, 5mm wall thickness, 725mm length.

Where It Fits — Large vs. Bench Top
The Thumpa Large is the floor-standing, high-volume option in the Rhino Thumpa range — at 860mm it sits on the floor and positions the knock bar at the right working height without any bench footprint. The Rhino Thumpa Bench Top Knockout Tube (300mm) is the compact surface-mounted alternative for lower-volume environments or smaller setups. For in-bench grounds disposal without a dedicated tube, the Rhino Square and Round Open Bottom Knock Chutes route pucks directly under the counter. For replacement parts, the Rhino Thumpa Replacement Rod is available at Coffee Addicts.
