Dumpster Mover has Big Benefits When the Weather Heats Up

Many warehouse and distribution center employees dread the thought of manually hauling a heavy dumpster during the frigid temperatures of winter.  In reality though, this job isn’t any better and could potentially be even more dangerous during the blazing heat of the summer.

Dumpsters that are fully loaded can easily weigh several thousand pounds and designated pick up areas could conceivably be hundreds of yards away from the compactor.  Employees that are required to tackle this task without the proper equipment are at a serious risk of injury regardless of the weather outside.

Employers who are interested in increasing productivity and keeping workers safe should consider adding a battery powered dumpster mover to their equipment arsenal.  The battery powered dumpster mover from DJ Products can easily handle waste containers weighing up to ten thousand pounds.  This easy to use piece of equipment instantly takes a job that would be difficult for two or three employees to handle and makes it safe for a single employee.

The battery powered dumpster mover from DJ is also highly maneuverable which makes it an ideal piece of equipment for any warehouse environment.  A single employee can quickly and safely navigate a fully loaded dumpster down narrow hallways, through bay doors and even up steep inclines with the dumpster mover. 

The dumpster mover is also virtually unaffected by changes in the seasons.  This versatile tool operates just as well while traveling over wintery conditions like snow, slush and ice as it does during the brutal heat of the summer.  The battery powered dumpster mover is a great addition to any warehouse or distribution environment where employers want safety and efficiency to be top priorities.

A Waste Mover Divides Holiday Work

When thinking about material handling solutions to help employers make work easier for their employees during the holiday season, you might consider a shopping cart retriever if you are in retail. But what can we offer for those who are not in retail and don’t use shopping carts?

The holidays are a time of giving and the side effect of all that abundance is more refuse. Whether you have a store, restaurant, hotel, or manage an apartment complex, your employees can make great use of a dumpster mover. Whether the waste containers are full of piles of wrapping paper and boxes, discarded Christmas trees, or lots of leftovers from holiday dinners, your employees need to transport them quickly, safely, and efficiently since it is likely that they will need to make more than one trip.

If you weren’t already aware, a heavy waste container can often weigh up to 5,000 lbs. And in some cases, your employees will need to transport these containers on an incline. If you live in an area where the ground becomes slick because of ice or snow, you will want them to be able to move these containers with control. DJ Products’ battery powered waste mover can push or pull heavy dumpsters or trash bins over asphalt and through snow and ice.

Plus, what used to be a job for three to four workers can now be completed by just one person. That’s right—if moving a large, heavy waste container previously required a few employees, you may be able to have just one person finish this task.

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.
