Aardwolf Drop Bottom Bin - ADBB-2000

Aardwolf Drop Bottom Bin - ADBB-2000

It can be use by forklift or overhead crane, for transporting site waste from one location to a dump point, where the contents are emptied into a larger bin or dump truck. Complete emptying is carried out by pulling the draw handle, which allows the floor to drop open. Bottom is closed by an automatic locking mechanism when bin is lowered to the ground.

Features 

• Sheet metal sides with sheet metal base.
• Hot dipped galvanised finish.
• Fork pockets.
• Crane lugs.

What our Experts Think

• Heavy-duty waste handling solution, the Aardwolf ADBB-2000 Drop Bottom Bin is engineered for safe collection, transport, and controlled discharge of construction and fabrication waste using forklift or crane systems.
• Robust 3 mm reinforced steel construction ensures durability for harsh industrial environments, including stone workshops, fabrication yards, and construction sites.
• High working load capacity of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) supports efficient bulk waste handling without deformation under heavy loads.
• Drop-bottom discharge system with pull-handle release allows full and controlled emptying into larger bins or dump trucks, improving site efficiency and safety.
• Automatic locking base mechanism re-engages the bottom securely when the bin is lowered, reducing manual reset time and improving operational safety.
• Dual handling compatibility (forklift pockets + crane lugs) provides flexible lifting options across workshop and site logistics workflows.
• Hot-dip galvanized finish enhances corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor and heavy-duty use in demanding environments.

Q&A

Q: What is the Aardwolf Drop Bottom Bin ADBB-2000 used for?
A: The ADBB-2000 is a heavy-duty waste handling bin designed for collecting, transporting, and dumping construction and fabrication site waste using a forklift or overhead crane.

Q: How does the drop-bottom mechanism work?
A: The base opens by pulling a draw handle to fully release the contents, and it automatically locks again when the bin is lowered back to the ground.

Q: What is the load capacity of the ADBB-2000?
A: It has a working load limit of 1500 kg (3307 lb), making it suitable for heavy industrial waste loads.

Q: What equipment can be used to move it?
A: It is compatible with both forklifts (via fork pockets) and overhead cranes (via crane lugs) for flexible site handling.

Q: What materials and construction features does it have?
A: The bin is built from 3 mm reinforced steel plate with a hot-dipped galvanized finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

Q: What are the key benefits of using this bin?
A: It improves site safety and efficiency by enabling fast, controlled waste collection and complete emptying without manual unloading.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect bin body, base frame, and welds regularly for cracks, bending, or structural wear.
• Check bottom discharge mechanism, latches, and release handles for smooth and reliable operation.
• Ensure locking pins, safety catches, and hinges are fully engaged and not worn or deformed.
• Lubricate pivot points, hinges, and release mechanisms periodically with light machine oil.
• Keep discharge gate area clean and free from stone chips, slurry, and debris buildup.
• Verify lifting lugs and forklift entry points are not cracked, elongated, or damaged before use.
• Never exceed the rated 2000 kg load capacity and distribute load evenly inside the bin.
• Inspect fork pockets for wear or deformation to ensure safe forklift handling.
• Check for corrosion, especially in high-wear or exposed areas, and treat promptly if found.
• Store in a dry area when not in use to extend service life and maintain structural integrity.
