Drop Bottom Bins are specialised containers designed to facilitate the efficient transportation and emptying of site waste.
They are typically used with forklifts or overhead cranes to move the waste from one location to a dump point, where the contents can be discharged into a larger bin or dump truck.
Here are the key features of Drop Bottom Bins:
Multiple Capacities: Drop Bottom Bins are available in three capacities: 1100 cu/m, 800 cu/m, and 500 cu/m. This variety allows users to select the appropriate size based on their waste disposal needs.
Heavy-Duty Construction: The bins are built using heavy-duty 3mm reinforced plate materials to handle and withstand the weight of waste products, ensuring durability and longevity.
Forklift or Crane Transport: The bins are designed to be easily transported using either a forklift or an overhead crane, providing versatility in handling and moving waste materials.
Drop Bottom Mechanism: The primary feature of Drop Bottom Bins is their drop floor mechanism. This design allows the bin floor to be released from one side, enabling complete emptying of the contents without tipping the entire bin.
Easy Emptying: Emptying the bin is made simple by pulling the draw rope handle, which activates the drop floor and discharges the waste quickly and efficiently.
Shock Absorbers: The bins are equipped with powerful shock absorbers, which absorb impact forces during emptying, protecting the forklift or crane from excessive stress.
Automatic Locking Mechanism: When the bin is lowered to the ground, an automatic locking mechanism ensures the base is securely closed, preventing accidental openings during transportation.
Enamel Paint Finish: The bins are coated with an enamel paint finish, providing a protective layer against rust and corrosion, enhancing their appearance and increasing lifespan.
