Front End Loader (FEL)

    • Front End Loader

      If you are producing large volumes of dry waste, then the Front End Loaders (FEL) are the ideal commercial bins for you. Front End Loading waste containers are lockable steel bins with an easily operated lid. They are static waste bins and cannot be easily moved without appropriate industrial lifting equipment. The loading system of the Front End Loader offers vital accessibility advantages over Rear End Loaders. 

      Designed for significant volumes of waste, Front End Loaders are used to collect and dispose of the following waste types:

      • General waste
      • Dry Mixed Recycling
      • Single Stream Recycling
      • Compactable industrial and commercial waste
      • Not suitable for glass
      • Not suitable for hazardous waste

      8000L FEL: 2.8 Height, 1.8m Width, 2.4 Depth

      How much waste can I fit in a FEL?
