BAC ROULANT DECHETS SOLIDES [1 record]

Record 1 1983-03-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
OBS

There often is no space for the larger storage containers ... making the use of side or rear loaders with smaller caster-equipped containers the only solution. Although "caster-equipped container" can have a general meaning (i.e. any size container on casters), it is often used to describe this smaller container. "Roll-out container" is more specific but is less widely used.

OBS

for "roll-out container": [With rear loaders] roll-out containers, typically 1- to 3-yd capacity, are hoisted at the rear of the collection vehicle and mechanically emptied.

French

Domaine(s)
