With full EN840 certification, they will give you exceptional lifetime value with limited downtime, unlike plastic and other alternative steel commercial trade waste bins.
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.

Advantages of Powder Coating: Continental Bin,
Provides a layer of protection against corrosion, scratches/chipping and fading,
One of the most economical, longest-lasting, and most colour-durable quality finishes, the hot-dipped galvanised steel finish, unlike a wet paint finish.
Powder Coating is a dry finishing process created by an electric charge that causes a dry powder to fuse to the surface of the metal. This is then baked in a curing oven to achieve a smooth coating. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
