TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

1100-Litre Hot-Dip Galvanized Waste Container

1. SCOPE

This specification covers the design, material, manufacturing, and surface treatment requirements for a 1100-litre hot-dip galvanized steel waste container intended for municipal and commercial waste collection operations.

2. APPLICABLE STANDARDS

3. DIMENSIONS & CAPACITY

Exact external dimensions (L × W × H) to be confirmed per approved technical drawing.

4. BODY

• Material: S235 (ST 37 equivalent) structural steel, 2.0 mm single-piece sheet
• Body is cold-formed and press-shaped with integrated stiffening ribs to increase structural rigidity
• Perimeter edges are folded outward by 15 mm, wrapping around the body exterior to reinforce the top rim
• Base corners are rounded (radiused) to prevent stress concentration
• All seams are fully MIG/MAG welded (gas-shielded, slag-free); the body is watertight
• Top-rim profiles are self-folded; welding is applied only at corner joints

5. LID

• Material: S235 (ST 37 equivalent) structural steel, 1.2 mm single-piece sheet
• Press-formed (deep-drawn) for structural integrity and uniform appearance
• Mounted with 2 heavy-duty hinges; lid opens fully to the rear (180°)
• Lid provides a complete, flush seal over the container opening

6. LIFTING ARMS

• Dimensions: 450 × 100 mm
• Material: 4 mm structural steel plate, reinforced with Ø16 mm transmission steel bar
• Fully welded to the body
• Compatible with standard EN 840-3 lifting mechanisms used on rear-loading and side-loading collection vehicles

7. WHEELS & CASTORS

• Quantity: 4 pieces
• Dimensions: 160 × 45 mm
• Rotation: 360° swivel
• Bracket: 4 mm steel, V-bent (inner fold) for reinforcement
• Compliance: TS EN 12532
• Two castors with brake recommended (optional, to be confirmed by customer)

8. SURFACE TREATMENT – HOT-DIP GALVANIZING

• Process: Complete hot-dip galvanizing of the fully assembled container
• Standard: TS EN ISO 1461
• Minimum coating thickness: ≥ 45 µm (average); ≥ 35 µm (local minimum)
• All interior and exterior surfaces, including welds, seams, and structural joints, are galvanized
• No post-galvanizing paint is applied unless specifically requested

9. MARKINGS (OPTIONAL / CUSTOMER-SPECIFIC)

The following markings can be applied by embossing, stencilling, or adhesive label upon customer request:

• Municipality / company name or logo
• "Keep your environment clean" pictogram
• "Do not park in front" symbol
• Universal waste/litter pictogram

Marking method and content to be confirmed at order stage.

10. QUALITY & TESTING

• Each container is manufactured in accordance with TS EN 840-3
• Production is carried out per approved technical drawings
• Dimensional checks and weld inspection are performed prior to galvanizing
• Galvanizing coat thickness is verified per EN ISO 1461 sampling protocol

11. NOTES

1. All technical drawings are available upon request.
2. Custom volume markings, colours (powder coat over galvanize), or logo embossing can be accommodated.
3. Containers can be supplied flat-packed (knocked-down) or fully assembled depending on logistics requirements.
