Things to Remember While Buying or Hiring Hook Lift Bins

The companies in construction, demolition and waste management businesses often look for skip bins for sale. They also compare different alternatives on the basis of size, price and quality of manufacturing. While all skip and hook lift bins in Australia look alike, it is important to be aware of the fine points. They cannot be bought every month and each unit purchased must be able to deliver its worth for years.

Given below are some points that buyers must consider before investing in skip bins provided by a company:

Is there a choice in terms for size range?

Sellers that have a stock of good quality bins but keep the stock in only one size may not be able to fulfil your requirements properly. What if the bin delivered by them is too small for your material pile? What if it is too large to stand on your property? Check your actual requirements and consider the space where this bin will be used often. Then decide upon what you will buy. Some suppliers of skip and hook lift bins have containers sized up to 40 m3. Also remember that you can ask for hook heights and rail spacing to be customised as per your preferences.

Can the bin be locked?

You should be able to lock the bins that you buy or hire and they must have waterproof walls. It is commendable that a number of skip and hook lift bins in Australian markets do have strong rails and rear doors that open towards sides – such aspects make it easy to load and unload materials.

Also check the quality closely and get all your queries answered by the supplier. Ask them about the kind of things that can be safely kept in the bin. This is important for those who are in a business where skip bins are regularly needed. Preferably, a bin should be able to take in various non-compactable materials including wood, soil, metal, bricks and plastics.

Can the waste streams be deposited in different ways?

Good quality skip and hook lift facilitate the deposits of waste streams by hand, conveyer belts, chutes, pipes, cranes and other specialist kit. They should be well-built to be used with a variety of other systems.

Ask for proofs that substantiate the quality of skip bins / hook lift bins

Certain suppliers of industrial and farm construction products such as fences and cattle panels in Australia have certificates to prove the quality of their equipment. This also applies to skip and hook lift bins.

You should check for waste evaluations of their hook lift and skip bins, the audits and other reports to make sure that your waste loading targets will be met by the units bought and they will also help you stay compliant with environmental regulations.

To make the right investment, you just need to look into different alternatives. Check the specifications of bins in terms of depth, width and height. Ask for the collection procedure details - from delivery of the bin to your site to the disposal of waste at another. And do not forget to check the accessories and customization choices that come with them. Then make your decision.
