Drop-Bottom and Tipping Containers

Drop-bottom and tipping containers are used to collect, move and empty loose materials, swarf, production waste and workshop parts quickly. They are moved with a forklift or on wheels and are emptied by tipping the body or opening the bottom, without lifting the load by hand.

Types in the collection

• Tipping swarf containers on wheels, to be pushed by hand around the department (Fervi)
• Tipping skips for forklifts, emptied by tilting the body (Sall)
• Sheet steel containers with a drop bottom, with a single or double flap (Comi Storage, Sall)
• Collapsible sheet steel containers with a capacity of up to 1500 kg (Comi Storage)
• Tipping and polyethylene containers (Butti)

How to choose

Start from what you need to collect (swarf, scrap, heavy parts, waste), the volume and capacity required and how you will move it: wheels for short trips in the workshop, forks for the forklift. A drop bottom is convenient for unloading into a skip or a collection area; a tipping body allows controlled emptying. Always check the capacity shown in the datasheet of each model.
