SKIP BIN SAFETY

1.   Are your trucks equipped with the correct safety chain, hooks and connecting               links to secure your bins safely ?
2.  Are your hook latches consistantly suffering deformation ?
3.  Are your chains breaking ?
4.  Are your connecting links becomming stuck ?
5.  Do you want to minimise downtime by keeping your trucks                                                        operational ?
6.  Do you want to reduce the risk and safety of the public, plant or equipmennt ?
7.  Do you want to be proactive rather then reactive ion relation to safety ?
8.  Do want to keep a certification register of all your chains and                                                    connecting links for audit and tracability ?
9.  Do you want to comply with manufacturing regulations for your  chains and                    fittings to maximise safety ?

 CHAINS

Chains are designed to withstand a specific weight capacity. Overloading the chain beyond its capacity can cause it to fail, resulting in potential safety hazards. Ensure that the weight of the waste container does not exceed the chain’s capacity, and do not use the chain to lift anything other than the waste container. To size the correct chain and fittings you can refer to our Skip Bin Working Load Limit Chart for the correct sizing  in relation to the size and load capacity of the applicable skip bin.

HAMMERLOCK OR CONNECTING LINK

If the swivel hammerlock is used to secure a load that exceeds its weight capacity, this can cause the swivel to become stuck due to the excessive force applied to the components. To size the correct Hammerlock you can refer to our Skip Bin Working Load Limit Chart for the correct sizing  in relation to the size and load capacity of the applicable skip bin.

SFETY HOOKS

 If a hook is used to lift or secure a load that exceeds its weight capacity, it can become overloaded and stressed beyond its limits. This can cause the hook to deform or fail, which can result in catastrophic failure and serious injury or damage. To size the correct Safety Hook you can refer to our Skip Bin Working Load Limit Chart for the correct sizing  in relation to the size and load capacity of the applicable skip bin.
