Waste Handling – Choosing the Right Container Sides

JS BURGESS ENGINEERING

Managing waste properly is essential for any business or organisation. Not only does it help maintain a clean and safe environment, but it also helps to comply with local regulations. 

Bulk Roll-On-Roll-Off (RoRo) Containers, or Demountable Hooklift (HLC) Containers, are essential products which are required for collecting and transporting materials for Waste and Recycling. JS Burgess offers a complete range of disposal containers catering for commercial waste disposal and recycling needs. This guide provides an overview of waste-handling containers, and how to choose the right container sides based on design, usage and environment. 

Smooth-Sided Containers

Smooth-sided Containers are designed for use with light to heavy loads. The curved shape of the sides gives strength to the Container along with the double skin of the overlapped side plates. 

Customers often use the large smooth surface area of the Container for advertising and due to the smooth curve, the Smooth-sided Containers reduce fuel costs by providing better aerodynamics on transport.

Ideal Environments: 

  • Trade Waste Collection
  • Industrial locations
  • Council bring sites
  • Community bring sites

Ideal Applications: 

  • Cardboard (Pulp, Consumer Waste)
  • Paper (Pulp, Consumer Waste)
  • General Waste
  • Wood (Factory, Pulp or Forest)

Swaged-Sided Containers

Swaged-sided Containers have ribbed sides for rigidity and are designed to withstand frequent loading and unloading of heavy materials, often by machines within inhospitable environments.

They come with unique features such as additional cross members or floor bearers on the base for durability, heavy-duty box sections on the top rail for additional strength and captive welded bale bars for repeated lifting.

Ideal Environments: 

  • Building sites
  • Engineering locations
  • Car and vehicle dismantlers’ crushers
  • Demolition facilities
  • Metal recycling

Ideal Applications: 

  • Demolition
  • Rubble & bricks
  • Metal
  • Concrete
  • Heavy engineering

Flat-Sided Containers

Flat-sided Containers are built for use with medium loads and are a cost-effective alternative to Swaged-Sided Containers. They come with 7-uprights as standard for both strength and rigidity.

Ideal Environments: 

  • Trade Waste Collection
  • Industrial locations
  • Council bring sites
  • Community bring sites
  • Building sites

Ideal Applications: 

  • Cardboard (Pulp, Consumer Waste)
  • Paper (Pulp, Consumer Waste)
  • General Waste
  • Rubble & bricks
