Forklift Wheelie Bin Tippers

Our forklift wheelie bin handlers, also called wheelie bin tippers, let you lift, empty and turn wheelie bins with the forklift you already have, instead of wheeling, lifting or tipping them by hand. Choose a handler to empty 90 to 240 litre bins, a lifter to move and stack 240 litre bins, a tipper for large 660 to 1100 litre bins, or a rotator that turns a large bin in mid-air for full emptying and cleaning.

Forklift Wheelie Bin Handlers for Safer Waste Handling

Forklift wheelie bin handlers are designed to make waste handling safer and more efficient by allowing bins to be lifted, moved or tipped using a forklift truck. They are commonly used in warehouses, construction sites, factories, recycling areas and industrial yards where waste bins need to be handled regularly.

By using a forklift-mounted bin handling attachment, operators can reduce manual handling and improve site efficiency when moving or emptying wheelie bins.

Wheelie Bin Handlers, Tippers and Rotators

The right attachment depends on the size of bin and what you need to do with it. Smaller wheelie bin handlers suit 90–240L bins, a forklift wheelie bin lifter moves and stacks 240L bins without emptying them, larger forklift wheelie bin tippers are made for 660–1100L industrial bins, and a forklift wheelie bin rotator turns a 660–1100L bin in mid-air and holds it at any angle for full emptying or cleaning.

  • 90–240L forklift wheelie bin handlers for smaller bins
  • 660–1100L forklift wheelie bin tippers for larger industrial bins
  • 660–1100L forklift wheelie bin rotators for controlled emptying and cleaning
  • Forklift-mounted attachments for safer bin movement
  • Waste handling solutions for construction, warehouse and industrial use

How to Choose the Right Forklift Wheelie Bin Handler

Choosing the correct forklift wheelie bin handler depends on the bin size, the type of waste being handled and the forklift being used. It is important to choose an attachment that matches the bin capacity and working environment.

Check the Bin Size

Common wheelie bin sizes include 90L, 120L, 240L, 660L and 1100L. Smaller bins usually require a different attachment from larger industrial waste containers.

Decide Whether You Need to Lift, Tip or Rotate

Some attachments are designed mainly for lifting and moving bins, others tip bins to empty them, and a rotator turns a large bin with a gearbox so you can empty it completely or turn it for cleaning. Choose the product based on how the bin will be used on site.

Check Forklift Compatibility

Always check fork size, forklift capacity and the expected loaded bin weight before ordering a wheelie bin handling attachment.
