Drop Bottom Bin
Drop Bottom Bin
Drop Bottom Bins are a bit of a universal tool. They are a forklift trash hopper. A Storage Container that is stackable. You can roll them around as a Bulk Storage Bin. Usable with cranes, forklifts, or on castors, they can work in just about any industry. These really are the exact model for just about any need. Let’s take a look!
Material Handling Equipment
Material Handling Equipment is a fairly universal term. Our Drop Bottom Bins are offered in several sizes ranging from 0.4 Yards to 2.6 Yards. The com in solid sides like Bulk Storage Bins, or they can be wire mesh containers which is useful for products that need air flow. In construction, they would be used for waste, or as a storage container for items you’d be using. Say it’s cones for traffic control. You put these on castors and push them to where you are working and now it’s a heavy duty cart. The next day you might be throwing trash at them. The steel construction will make that a viable use as they are very durable bulk tubs.
Crane Rated
As a Crane Rated Bin, These are rated at 2200 lbs in the smaller sizes, and 4400 lbs as a 2.6 yard capacity version. We build them to the ASME B30.20 standards and then load test them to the German standard of 300%. You just hook in and go with these bins. They will keep you safe and productive. You can ditch the slings and save $25 per lift cycle just in getting rid of the slings. This is an important point. When you look at lower cost bins that require slings, your crane operations cost $8 per minute this year. If you buy a bin that should last 20 years, every time you just hook in versus putting on slings, you save around $25. Crane Rated isn’t just about safety. T
Forklifts and Industry
We have a large variety of Drop Bottom Bins at Eichinger. The forks of your forklift will go in the fork loops of our equipment when this is on the ground. You carry it to a dumpster and hang it over the dumpster with the forklift When you pull the cable, the lever will release the floor of the box so the hinged floor opening on the equipment and the contents will go into the dumpster. The weight rating is the same as it is with the cranes. The cubed structure is very robust and is designed for a long service life. If you need custom sizes or other designs for your industry, Check out the catalogs (Forklift catalog link). We also have another website called Forkliftgear.net that has some products as well. we can do these with 2 or 3 compartments as well so you can quickly distribute products from the storage bin with a hinged door that becomes the drop bottom feature.
Other Bins and Containers
At Eichinger, we have many other Bulk Storage Bins and Storage Containers. I see people lifting Plastic bins, wood boxes and so forth with cranes. These don’t have a crane rating. It’s unsafe and risk not worth taking. Even if cost is the driver, we have Bulk Storage Bins as Crane Rated Stillages. The 1311’s can have a box built on them that converts them to a bulk storage bin. Hook in and now it’s crane rated to 3300 lbs. We have pallet tubs that replace the plastic ones and also remove the need for slings. If you are in the market for material handling equipment, Eichinger should be your first choice. You can find us in the North America at CraneGear.net

Contact us if you have any questions about these. If we don’t have the right options here, we might have more if I reach out to the factory. But given the utility of these, it’s hard to imagine these aren’t the right solution for half of the forklift hopper market.
