Managing Waste with Hook Lift Bins

Hook lift bins were devised to ease the handling of waste material in huge quantities. They gradually found uses in several manufacturing, mining, earth moving and other industrial applications.

These bins are typically used to lug items such as:

• Organic waste – fallen tree branches, leaves, cut grass and other garden waste
• Household things – discarded furniture, old electrical appliances such as TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers
• Building rubble – stones, concrete, bricks
• Steel, iron and other metals
• Cardboard and paper

Toxic or hazardous waste is normally not allowed to be poured into hook lift bins in Australia. Some hook lift and skip bin suppliers also refuse to transport any material that can easily catch fire. It is therefore important to check in well in advance the purposes that a bin can be put to.

Enterprises that regularly require large containers to transport or temporarily store materials should buy their own bins instead of hiring them repeatedly. On the other hand households that need hook lift bins for one-off jobs such as move-out cleaning, spring cleaning, renovation works, and garden cleaning can take them on rent for a few days.

The rented bin is sent to the client’s site and once filled, it is driven by their employees to an appropriate location – waste management company, recycling plant or any other place where the client needs the contents to be transported.

While ordering a bin for any commercial or household project, it is important to know the correct size that will suit the purpose. For best estimates, this should be discussed directly with the bin provider.

If a hook lift bin is being used to transport household furniture to a new house, a simple way to know suitable size of the bin is to put the items at a particular spot. They should be neatly stacked and all pieces should be visible. This helps to understand the amount of space that the items will occupy and the size of bin in which they can be placed for transport.

It is equally important to know if there is sufficient space for a hook lift bin to come into and move out of the yards where the items will be loaded and then unloaded. There should be a comfortable provision for truck access.

With their ability to hold bulk materials and rubble, hook lift and skip bins are particularly used at construction sites. Other uses include landscaping, forestry, agriculture and mining.

There is an array of sizes available for both household and commercial applications. Some suppliers also manufacture bins in custom sizes for industrial buyers. The bins can even be customised in several colours to make them more appropriate for usage by a particular business brand.

Hook lift containers are practical for organisations that regularly deal with the disposal of solid, bulky and non-compactable waste.

These huge containers are simple to use and they can be loaded by hand or with help of chute, conveyor, tippler and other custom made handling and transfer gear. Thanks to their big rear doors, material loading becomes secure and efficient.

Some skip and hook lift bins manufacturers also fabricate other industrial products such as cattle panels, LVL scaffolding planks, composite decking and filter cloth in Australia.
