Hotel Chain purchases an Electric Tug to help safely move heavy Rubbish Bins

Moving the bin into position using a MasterMover

A few months ago, we were approached by a Hotel Chain, in Brisbane’s CBD that had a big problem moving their heavy rubbish bins on bin day. The challenge was actually not just the driveway and car park area, but also the size of these commercial steel bins supplied by the council.

Retailquip went out, on site and did a site assessment to determine the right product to suit their needs.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4280″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1592534512469{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 44px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1592533722486{margin-bottom: 5px !important;}”]One of the biggest risks with safety, was moving the bin outside of the rubbish bin area, and then up the driveway. Moving the bin out, and then turning it around to go up the driveway caused a number of key Health & Safety Issues including wrist & back injuries, and not to mention the danger of moving the bins and loosing grip and it rolling down potentially hitting a car or worse a bystander.

The solution was clear, and with the help of Retailquip we worked together on a MasterMover AT200 Electric Tug to help move their bins.

With forward & reverse controls – the AT200 also features controlled power steering, along with 2 speed settings (Fast/Slow) and a Warning Horn for attention.

It also features a Anti Crush system, so that you can’t get yourself injured in tight spaces.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ct_space space_lg=”20″ space_md=”20″ space_sm=”20″ space_xs=”20″][ct_heading text=”Watch the Video” font_weight=”700″ description_font_weight=”inherit”][ct_space space_lg=”10″ space_md=”10″ space_sm=”10″ space_xs=”10″][ct_video_player video_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DgwEiudVSkkU|||” video_intro=”3686″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
