Adding fork pockets to your Continental containers allows for the safe and easy movement of containers around large sites. For operators with heavier waste requirements and the standard use of forklift trucks, this simple enhancement can speed up waste transportation and allow for more effective waste collection points on-site
The Continental 1100 litre recycling bin is also available with Towing and Fork Lift Pocket options including internal fork pockets or external if required.
Internally welded seams stop water penetration, preventing the corrosion that plagues less well-made metal waste containers. With full EN840 certification, they will give you exceptional lifetime value with limited downtime, unlike plastic and other alternative steel commercial trade waste bins.
Internally welded seams prevent internal corrosion, whilst the hard-wearing galvanized steel body and base make for a durable, long-lasting container that delivers exceptional lifetime value when compared to plastic or alternative steel containers.
All the Continental ranges are EN840 Compliant with EN 840 which is the recognised European standard for mobile waste containers of various capacities and specifications. By ensuring your bin(s) are compliant with these standards, you can help ensure the safety of employees and the general public.
All continental bins comply with parts 2, 5 and 6 of the EN840 standard. This ensures that all 4 wheeled containers will operate correctly whilst being emptied on a refuse truck if the container is picked up by a comb bar (frontal receiver) or by the DIN points (trunion).
The handles are placed in the optimal areas for ergonomics and manoeuvrability of the containers, whilst still retaining a safe distance from any moving parts on the refuse truck.
The castors fitted to the bins are tested for both strength and rolling resistance to ensure you get a long life from the bin, yet the bin is still compliant with all health and safety recommendations for manoeuvring wheeled objects. All Continental bins are independently tested every six months to ensure they meet the highest safety standards within the industry. Please see the video for more information regarding EN 840 Standard regulations.

Key product benefits:
Comb lifting bar (Frontal receiver) to meet EN840-2 regulation
Comb lifting bar (Frontal receiver) to meet EN840-2 regulation
Simple, robust steel hinge bar secured by a split pin
The double-skinned rotationally moulded lid is both durable and UV resistant. Available in a choice of colours
The lid recovers even from extensive deformation unlike injection moulded plastic lids
The design avoids water draining into the bin, unlike some alternatives
Handles designed to EN 840 for ergonomic handling and health & safety by keeping hands away from lifting gear.
The continental trade bins are true litre capacity complying with EN840 standard whereas flat-based bins fall short of this compliancy
Steel centred wheels manufactured with needle bearings, grease and rubber optimised for performance
Two foot operated, trailing braking wheels at the front with two swivel wheels at the back.
Draw depth and shape of pressings optimised to avoid buckling or distortion of the bin on impact or lifting when fully laden. Other poorly designed bins fail to get this right and after usage the frame can badly distort beyond the lid, thus allowing water in
