Safer Waste Handling Solutions For City Apartments

Electric wheelie bin tug

A facilities company in central London, UK, has recently sought the expertise of MasterMover to improve their waste management system.

As the company takes charge of the maintenance and services for blocks of apartments, they recognised the need for a more efficient way to move heavy waste bins. Their primary goals were to improve safety, reducing the time and effort required of staff to move heavy waste bins.

The challenge

Each bin, which can weigh up to 550kg, was being moved individually from the underground car park every week for refuse collection taking up the valuable time of staff members.

In addition, manually pulling such heavy bins whilst also having to navigate outdoor conditions and slopes poses a risk of injury and musculoskeletal disorders for staff.

Understanding the urgency and importance of the task at hand, the company turned to MasterMover for a reliable solution. With their extensive experience in providing innovative material handling solutions, MasterMover recommended the TOW200 as the perfect tool for the job.
