Wheelie Bin Crane Cage

Key Features & Benefits

The HERMEQ Wheelie Bin Crane Cage is a site-ready solution for lifting and transporting wheelie bins via crane or forklift. Designed specifically for construction environments, it eliminates pressure on traditional hoists by enabling quick and safe vertical waste removal.

Constructed in the UK and built to withstand demanding use, the unit is supplied with a Declaration of Conformity and undergoes a LOLER 6-month inspection as standard. It is tested to a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 3 tonnes. The cage comfortably holds four standard 660L wheelie bins, but also supports alternative configurations including 1100L bins. Lockable gates ensure bin security during lifts, while a lightweight ramp simplifies bin loading. Fully compliant with lifting regulations, it’s a fast and efficient method of managing on-site waste at height.

Product Information

Built for the rigours of modern high-rise construction sites, the HERMEQ Wheelie Bin Crane Cage offers a smarter, safer solution for on-site waste handling. Traditionally, transporting bins from upper floors has relied on overburdened hoist systems. This product directly addresses that bottleneck by offering a dedicated cage that integrates seamlessly with overhead cranes or forklifts.

Accommodating both 660L and 1100L wheelie bins, this cage allows teams to remove waste more frequently without interrupting other operations. The secure lockable gates protect operators and prevent accidental spills, while the loading ramp speeds up handling without requiring heavy lifting. Forklift pockets offer a secondary method for moving the cage at ground level.

For even heavier or more general-purpose material movement, consider the Heavy Duty Goods Carrying Cage or IBC & Open Lifting Cages.

Construction and High-Rise Projects

In high-rise or phased construction projects, traditional hoists are typically overused. The Wheelie Bin Crane Cage reduces dependence on those systems by offering a safe, dedicated waste movement tool. It can be lowered from upper floors via crane, emptied, and returned with minimal downtime.

Plant Hire & Fleet Integration

For rental companies, this cage offers quick turnover and high usage rates. Designed for frequent movement and harsh conditions, it ensures hire customers can meet site waste demands without heavy investment in additional vertical transport gear.

Safety & Site Logistics

Integrated forklift channels allow repositioning without needing a crane, helping logistics teams avoid delays. The unit’s lockable gates and steel structure ensure bin stability in motion, supporting on-site safety and compliance. Need a multi-use goods transport solution?
