GEORGE FISHER

Situation

George Fisher are a supplier of pipes and valves and have extensive recycling systems which leaves a small percentage of waste to dispose of.

They collect the waste using 240 litre wheelie bins which are walked outside to an external Ram Compactor. Up to now the bins have been dragged up a make shift ramp and the operator physically picks up the wheelie bin and shakes out the waste. They knew this was an issue and decided to find the solution.

Landfill Alternatives have installed a moveable LFA BL 240ltr (Bin Lift). This sits in front of the compactor charge box, the bins are pushed into the tipper housing, and pressing two buttons the bin contents are emptied into the Ram Compactor. If they wish to dispose of waste using the forklift, then they simply pull the bin tipper out of the way, as it is on castors, and then the forklift tips.
