Front End Loader

For large volumes of dry waste.

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.
