The 8 cu yd side hinged FEL is the company’s top selling container for front End Loader vehicles and is protected by patent in the UK and in other European countries.

The design incorporates two plastic lids which are hinged on opposite sides of the container, and a steel top lid which is hinged along the top edge of the container. The lids are held in the open position for loading by two steel pins inserted through steel plates.

The advantage of the side hinged FEL are:

•  Reduction in wind scatter when emptying, as the lids create a chute for the waste to fall through.The lids are easier to open than the conventional top hinged type
• The lids are easy to secure in the open position making the container safe to use without fear of the lids falling shut
• Combined with the top lid, full aperture discharge is achieved alleviating the problem waste ‘ sticking’ and the requirement to shake the container.
• The side Hinged FEL is also available in 4.5 cu yd and 6 cu yd capacities.

The conventional Top Hinged FEL is available in a range of capacities:

FEL containers from 4 cu yd to 10 cu yd are available with the option of a skip tipping bar for use on skip loader vehicles. Skip lifting lugs and underfloor pockets are fitted as standard.
