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.

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.
