To Learn More
A large range of open or close top roll of container designs are available for collecting various kinds of waste, such as rubble, industrial waste, cardboard, etc.
The roll off container design is suitable for all types of current lifting systems. Roll of container types categorized by the lifting way which is either SKIP or HOOK (roll on/off).
All Houtris production range can be design according to customer needs and current European Directives. The roll off container design guarantees its efficiency due to its robust and reliable design.
A roll off container is a usually open top dumpster characterized by a rectangular footprint, utilizing wheels to facilitate rolling the dumpster in place. The roll off container is designed to be transported by special roll-off trucks. roll off containers are commonly used to contain loads of construction and demolition waste or other waste types.
While most roll off container have a swinging door on the end for easier disposal of waste, some roll on/off containers are not open top and are used with commercial or industrial trash compactors.
Construction debris may originate from a building site where something is being built, renovated, or demolished. roll off containers are also used for various jobs that need much material to be taken away. The material in the roll off container may be taken to a landfill, recycled or disposed/recovered of in some other way.
Roll off containers have a rectangular footprint typically determined by the size of typical trucks. roll on/off container sizes are determined by the amount of volume of debris they contain. Typical container sizes are 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards. While the roll on/off container may be rented by volume, there may be weight limitations. Weight limits may be necessary to ensure compliance with road-use and safety laws and regulations.
Most roll off container will have a weight limit for each container size. Roll on/off containers loaded with more weight than allowed typically result in an overage charge. The maximum weight is specified at the beginning of the job. In cases where the material to be disposed of is especially dense, such as concrete, a container with lower sidewalls is used, to help reduce the risk of exceeding the weight limit.
After the roll off container is picked up, it is taken to a disposal facility where it is weighed before (gross) and after (tare) dumping. The difference is the net weight, and is used to calculate charges to the customer. In order to save time, some facilities pre-record weights of trucks and the roll off container. This allows the tare weight to be looked up and eliminates the need for a second weighing.
Roll off containers are placed by a roll-off trucks. As the roll-off truck raises its hydraulically operated bed, the roll off container rolls off of the bed. A cable is used to slowly lower the container. After the waste container is loaded, the roll-off truck pulls the filled container onto the roll-off truck by using a cable and winch system. If the roll-off truck is not a winch system, then it is most likely a hook-lift system. A hook-lift system works by the truck extending a 90 degree arm with a hook on the end which hooks under a bar and gently lifts the dumpster onto the truck. Most hook-lift systems are on smaller roll-off trucks as they are usually used for 20 yard containers and under. These smaller systems are usually the preferred option on smaller scale construction jobs such as roof replacement, kitchen remodels, and garage clean-outs. Smaller single-axle trucks are generally viewed as safer operations as they are much lighter and more easily transported in residential areas. When being carried, the roll-off must be covered.
