A Dumpster Mover Helps Increase Efficiency for Busy Retail Season

As we move past the Summer and into the back half of the year, it means one thing to retailers – beefing up inventory in preparation for the holiday season.  In an effort to make this year’s numbers look a little bit better than the numbers of the last few years, retailers are going to have to stock more product and make a serious advertising push in order to get the customers in the door, but what many retailers fail to prepare for in this seemingly simple strategy is the trash removal portion of the equation.

With each and every extra box of product that you bring into your store for sale, you increase the amount of trash that will be going out and the weight of the dumpster that will have to be pushed into a position to be emptied.  If you don’t have the proper equipment, like a dumpster mover, to move those full and heavy dumpsters you could be decreasing the time that your employees have to stock shelves and help customers and what’s even worse you could be putting them at risk of injury.

A full dumpster could top out at several hundred or maybe even several thousand pounds depending upon what it is filled with,  which could be far too much for an employee to handle pushing or pulling manually but with the help of a dumpster mover a waste container loaded up to 5000 lbs poses no problem at all.  The dumpster mover from DJ Products can easily allow a single employee to quickly and easily mover a waste container of anywhere from 500 up to 10,000 pounds over rough terrain and in tight quarters with no problems at all.  With a dumpster mover, your employees can get that heavy dumpster where it needs in time for pick up and then quickly back to where you store it to be filled again in a much shorter time and none of the strain that would have resulted from a manual move.

A Dumpster Mover Minimizes Employee Exposure to Harsh Conditions

Manually moving a heavy waste or recycling container can be physically taxing during perfect conditions.  If your employees have to face this demanding challenge in less than favorable weather conditions the chance for injury is even greater.  A fully loaded dumpster can weigh upwards of several thousand pounds.  Attempting to handle this massive amount of weight on rough or slippery terrain, without the proper equipment, could be a recipe for disaster.

Investing in a powerful, battery operated dumpster mover is a perfect way to minimize the stress and strain of this task and to keep employees safer.  The dumpster mover from DJ Products allows a single employee to easily handle a loaded dumpster that weighs up to ten thousand pounds.

Depending on where your waste and recycling dumpsters are located in your facility and where they need to be stationed for pick up, the job of manually taking out the trash could be a mammoth undertaking.  Using a dumpster mover will cut down on how many people and how much time are needed to complete the job.  The dumpster mover from DJ can safely tackle inclines and declines, gravel, snow and ice while pushing or pulling the heaviest of loads to keep your employees safe from overexertion and other possible injuries.

The worse the conditions are outside, the more difficult and strenuous jobs like waste removal become.  If you want to keep your employees safe and minimize wasted time, you need to provide them with the proper equipment to handle the job.  The powerful and ergonomically designed dumpster mover from DJ Products gives your employees everything they need t o haul and deposit the heaviest of dumpsters as quickly and safely as possible, regardless of the conditions outside.

The Benefits of the Dumpster Caddy

Few pieces of heavy equipment require as much movement as dumpsters. They’re necessary containers at all types of facilities, from office buildings to hospitals to apartment complexes. Simplify this regular task with use of the Dumpster Caddy from DJ Products.

Fully loaded dumpsters can weigh thousands of pounds, particularly those used at locations such as shopping malls or hotels. Although they generally have wheels, they’re cumbersome to move and turn. They’re often stored in an underground lot where they need to be transported to ground level for pick-up by a waste management or recycling service. It’s not unusual for this task to require at least two or three employees to complete.

Our Dumpster Caddy fastens securely to the container to safely move loads of up to 10,000 pounds. Corners and tight spaces are easy to negotiate thanks to the caddy’s compact size and efficient operation. In addition, battery power enables the caddy to go up and down inclines as well as over ice, snow and other outdoor conditions.

Using a Dumpster Caddy can help streamline your overall operations as well. You can have only one person handle the job instead of sending two or three others. Its ergonomic design reduces the possibility of injury and job-related absences. 

DJ Products has a full line of caddies and tugs that can address any of your material handling problems. Our products fit applications from moving shopping carts to maneuvering aircraft. Contact our knowledgeable Sales Engineers at 800.686.2651 for information on solutions to fit your needs.

Dumpsters Need Love Too: Benefits of the WasteCaddy

WasteCaddy
Dumpsters Need Love Too!

Even though they perform an important function, dumpsters don’t get much love. They provide a convenient disposal location for office and apartment buildings, malls and construction sites, but for most people they’re barely an afterthought. Would you feel differently about a dumpster as a housing option?

A photographer in San Francisco recently used this humorous concept to make a serious point. Fed up with exorbitant real estates prices in his home town, he published a series of tongue-in-cheek photos of “alternative” housing such as mailboxes and manholes covers. The picture of a dumpster was accompanied with a caption referring to it as a “$5,000 waterfront condo”.

All joking aside, without dumpsters trash disposal and recycling would be nearly impossible. The downside is that their size makes them difficult to move, especially when they’re full. Our WasteCaddy and WasteCaddyLite offer perfect solutions to this workplace problem.

These battery-powered pullers are so powerful that one person can easily use them to move dumpsters from underground garages and across dirt and gravel. Their compact design makes them maneuverable even in narrow, confined spaces. Ergonomic features such as the variable speed twist grip help to reduce occurrences of repetitive stress injuries. We also offer a variety of add-ons so you can tailor the caddy to meet your specific needs.

The WasteCaddyLite can handle loads up to 2,000 pounds while the WasteCaddy accommodates up to 5,000 pounds. Our friendly Sales Engineers at DJ Products are ready to help you choose the one that’s right for your application.

New Dumpster Mover Muscles Trash Containers

Responding to customer need, DJ Products announces the addition of a new dumpster mover to its world-recognized line of ergonomically-designed, battery-powered cart pushers. The DJ Products dumpster mover easily pulls heavy trash and recycling dumpsters and containers to the curb or a designated location for pick up. The new dumpster mover provides an excellent solution for retailers, office buildings, apartment and condominium complexes, hospitals and nursing homes, hotels, shopping centers, manufacturers, distribution centers, and any business that has to haul heavy containers for trash or recycling pick up. 

Trash and recycling containers and dumpsters are typically located near trash compactors and bailers deep inside underground parking garages or in designated areas on the plant floor. These heavy containers must be maneuvered around equipment or vehicles across crowded floors or parking garages to designated collection sites or to the outside curb for access by waste haulers. Due to the heavy, unbalanced loads they contain, trash and recycling containers and dumpsters can be extremely awkward and difficult to move and maneuver, particularly around obstacles. When performed manually, the task of pushing and pulling these containers across long distances and up underground slopes to street level puts workers at high risk for expensive and debilitating musculoskeletal injuries.

DJ Products’ ergonomically designed dumpster mover eliminates the pains and strains associated with manually pushing heavy carts and wheeled equipment. Its compact design allows this dynamic cart mover to maneuver easily through tight spaces such as hallways, aisles, doors and crowded parking garages. A powerful 36-volt motor makes this heavy-duty tug capable of muscling dumpsters and containers weighing 500 to 10,000 pounds. The new DJ Products dumpster mover turns a three or four-person job into a quick and easy one-person operation. This powerful battery-operated waste mover can easily push or pull heavy dumpsters or trash/recycling containers up sharp inclines, over asphalt and even through snow and ice.
