Forklift Tipping Bins that are Crane Rated

In my career running tower cranes I ran across a number of scenarios where having a bin of dual purpose would be fantastic. An American company makes an option that does sell, but I never liked it. It was violent for the crane. My time in equipment sales makes me believe it was never implemented as the manufacturer intended. Today I sell an option that does serve well for forklifts, or for cranes. It's a conventional tipping bin for a forklift, but we add crane lifting eyes to them. So if you wanted that trash bin up on a working deck, you can use it as a low loading option, or a tall and narrow option that can be pushed down hallways, or landed on small baloneys. Then it can be lowered to the ground and dumped by a forklift when it's convenient and you keep the crane moving. 

Our Model 2013c tipping bins can be built up to 2.9 yards in size. They can also be built down at .039 yards so they can fit anywhere. Put castors on them and just push them to where they are needed. Most are rated at 3300 lbs for the crane operations. Crane rated items are more expensive because they need a 3:1 safety factor as required by ASME B30.20. So our bins might cost $1900 where you can find them of a similar size for $1400. But the added structure is not only good for the lifting operations, the bins are stronger so they'll inherently last longer. We can do this with a number of our bins. 

The 2012/2044 versions are low and can be built to two yards in size. The advantage of not lifting overhead is a great idea to lessen stress injuries to the back and to the shoulders. If you want to see a long term savings, just lessen stress injuries by a few percentage points and you'll find some massive benefits in the bottom line with this small change.
