Galvanized Steel Bins

At a Glance

Galvanized Trolley bins for residential waste collection has been used in developed and developing countries for more than 50 years. These steel bins are more popular in vertical towers or commercial areas. The waste industry has set standards for all types and sizes of galvanized trolley bins to match lifting systems of DIN standard compactor trucks. In Western Europe, those bins (known as MGB) have to comply with DIN and EN Industry Standards. In the major Cities of the world, the same bin types have been introduced long ago, resulting in a significant improvement of clean and efficient waste collection services.

The 1.1 CBM or 1100 Ltrs MGB bins in Dome shape lids, are generally available in both plastic (HDPE) and in metal (galvanized). Both have its own advantages that a customer can decide suiting their preference. 1.1 CBM galvanized steel bins have a definite plus of being a strong steel bin whereas 1.1 CBM plastic bins have advantage of fast availability in different colors. 

Other sizes in galvanized bins are available in 2.5 CBM and 4.5 CBM, these can be supplied with HDPE flat lids in various colors, to support recycling schemes. Usually, they have 4 heavy duty wheels, but they can also be placed with fixed footings, for certain outdoor locations. 

Due to the flexibility of the bin compliances, those steel bins can be collected either with a standard rear-end-loader or with advanced front-end-loader trucks however, it is important that refuse compactor trucks have such lifters for lifting. Compliant bins for the lifting by side loader trucks are also available in different sizes.

All bins are designed and pre-engineered for a maximum of stacking in order to optimize the loading capacity of a truck or even a sea container. Hence, you will find us very well prepared for the shipment and trucking.

Features and added value:

1. Enhanced Durability and Longevity: Galvanization creates a zinc coating that acts as a barrier against rust and corrosion. This is especially important for large capacity bins used outdoors, where they are exposed to rain, sun, and other harsh elements.  With a galvanized coating, these bins can withstand years of wear and tear, reducing the need for replacements and saving money in the long run.

2. Improved Resistance to Dents and Scratches: The zinc coating on galvanized bins also provides an extra layer of protection against physical damage. This is beneficial for large bins that are frequently bumped, loaded, and unloaded. The added resilience helps to maintain the bin's structural integrity and overall appearance.

3. Low Maintenance Costs: Galvanized steel barely requires any maintenance in comparison to other materials. The zinc coating is self-healing to an extent, meaning minor scratches won't immediately expose the steel underneath to rust.  An occasional cleaning with soap and water is usually sufficient to keep the bin looking its best.

4. Weather Resistance:  As mentioned earlier, galvanized steel is highly resistant to rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. This makes it an ideal material for large bins used outdoors in all climates,  from the hot desert sun of Dubai to freezing winter conditions.

5. Cost-Effective: While there might be a slightly higher upfront cost compared to non-galvanized bins, galvanized steel bins offer a significant advantage in terms of lifespan and reduced maintenance needs.  Over time, they can be a more cost-effective option due to their durability.
