Choosing between Marrel Skip Bins and Hook Lift Bins

When you need to manage large quantities of waste, a wheelie bin with capacity of 60 to 240 litres may not be enough to contain the discarded materials. That is when you need skip bins.

The skip bins in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth come in a variety of sizes and styles. While browsing through brochures for skip bins, you will also come across terms like ‘Marrel skip bins’ and ‘hook lift bins’. Designed for custom use these bins differ in ways they are lugged by trailers or trucks.

In terms of size, hook lift bins are larger than Marrel skip bins in Perth and other Australian cities. Most of these heavy duty hook lift bins are available with barn doors and also have ratchet safety locks. They are pulled on to trucks and attached with a big hook arm. With their huge capacity, these containers are used at industrial facilities and construction sites where they can carry different kinds of wastes.

On the other hand, Marrel skip bins, some of which can also be bought with doors, are lifted with chains attached to them and lowered onto trucks that come for material collection.

Many households and small offices use these skip bins in Sydney as they are easy to place in yards and driveways. They can be effectively used for managing spring cleaning and move out cleaning. You do not even need a very big truck to haul them.

You can choose the right size of your skip bin or hook lift bin as per your individual requirements. Because there are plenty of sizes available, it is good to make the right calculation and avoid making two trips with a small bin or waste money on a bin that is too large and remains half empty even after filling all the waste.

By estimating the number or amount of items that you plan to discard, along with an idea of their approximate size, you will be able to determine the right size of skip bin for your waste management project. If you are using these bins for the first time, it is best to discuss your requirements with the skip bin supplier.

For commercial users who regularly need skip bins to manage large volumes of waste or to store industrial materials, it is good to buy bins in different sizes. The households and other users who need them just once or twice a year, the more practical option is to hire the bin for a certain number of days.

While using these bins you should also be aware of the materials that can be legitimately put into them. Hazardous items such as chemicals, fuel cylinders and ammunition are typically not allowed inside skip bins and hook lift bins used for waste management.

Also, if a bin that you hire is too big to be placed on your land, see that you are permitted to park it on roadside for a few hours. Marrel skip bins in size range of 2 to 17 cubic meters are commonly used all across Australia. They have tall sidewalls but are not very long and therefore they do not occupy much space. You can park them in an area needed for average sized cars.
