Hook Bins

Hook bins, also known as hook lift bins or hook lift containers, are large containers used in the transportation and disposal of waste materials. Hook bins come with a hydraulic lifting system that picks up and lowers the bin onto the truck. They are commonly used in construction, demolition, and waste management industries for the collection and transportation of large volumes of waste.

Hook bins have many advantages and benefits that make them a popular choice for waste collection and disposal.

Hook bins can be used for a wide range of residential and commercial waste materials, including construction and demolition waste, general waste, green waste, and mixed heavy waste.

The hydraulic lifting system of hook bins makes it convenient and easy to load and unload waste materials onto the truck, which saves time and effort.

Hook bins are cost-effective and can save money on waste management expenses by allowing for more efficient collection and disposal of waste materials.

Hook bins are commonly used for waste management in various industries. They are ideal for collecting and disposing of large volumes of waste materials.

Hook bins are frequently used to collect and dispose of construction and demolition waste, including bricks, concrete, and timber. They are also useful for disposing of general waste materials such as plastics, paper, and cardboard.

Hook bins come in different sizes to accommodate different amounts of waste materials. The sizes of hook bins range from small bins of a few cubic meters to large containers of over 30 cubic meters. The size ranges from 5.4m length, 1.7m width and 1.0m height  to 6.5m, 2.4m and 2m, respectively.

The capacity ranges from 11 cubic metres (equivalent to 60 wheelbarrows) to 29 cubic metres, (equivalent to 180 wheelbarrows), from 1,800 kg general waste limit up to 4,500kg.

The smaller bins are suitable for smaller-scale waste management needs, such as in residential areas or smaller construction sites.

For medium-sized construction sites and landscaping projects bins of around twenty cubic meters are commonly used.

The larger bins are suitable for larger construction sites and commercial waste management needs.

Hook bins are a versatile, convenient, and cost-effective option for waste management in various industries. They come in different sizes and capacities to meet the specific waste management needs of different projects. Whether you are involved in renovation, construction, demolition, or landscaping, hook bins can help you efficiently collect and dispose of your waste materials.
