Pick up & empty bins using a forklift

Contact Attachments has designed and manufactured a range of wheelie bin handlers that enable clients to pick up and empty bins using a forklift.

Jason Cadman, technical sales consultant, said: "Many companies in a variety of sectors use wheelie bins to store waste, but manually lifting, handling, and emptying the bins can prove both problematic and unsafe.

We developed the wheelie bin handlers to make sure our clients can dispose of waste safely and quickly, as they are simply attached to the forklift." The firm offers a small bin handler, plus two attachments for larger bins - none of the attachments require any hydraulics or electrical fitting to a forklift. The small wheelie bin tipper is suitable for bins with a capacity of 90-240L, while the larger bin handlers are designed for wheelie bins that hold between 660 and 1100L and are appropriate for either sprung lid or flat lid containers.
