The Container Wagon simplifies dumpster waste handling by giving plant personnel the opportunity to move the carrier and dumpster along fixed rails, thus ensuring optimum filling of the dumpster along the length of the unit. The Container Wagon uses proven modular wheel blocks for robust and simplified service. The Container Wagon frame and guides are fabricated of carbon and/or stainless steel construction and the geometry can be customized to specific dumpster configurations. The chain driven carrier is readily adapted to automation with control logic and sensors to move the carrier for maximum filling efficiency.
