Among the containers available on the market used in the construction industry, the most popular are self-dumping models, used in the transportation of various types of loose materials such as gravel, sand, grain and industrial waste such as plastics, chips, scrap metal.
The self-dumping container is adapted for transport by forklift. After removing the locking mechanism and tilting the forks forward, the container automatically opens. In addition to the automatic release function, there is a lever at the rear of the container for manual release of the cradle.
This is ideal for storage and transport by forklift or pallet truck.
It is possible to equip the container with a set of swivel wheels for manual transport, which may be the only appropriate solution in some conditions.
The containers can be stacked on top of each other, which will significantly reduce the occupied space when not in use.
Features of self-dumping containers:
- made of 1.2-3 mm thick sheet metal
- come in blue lacquered version as standard, other colors available upon request.
- can work with forklifts or move independently
- wheels: polyamide
The wheelie bin made of steel works well for segregation, handling and other cleanup work. Tipping containers are the best tool on the market for waste sorting, waste processing and material transportation.
