Line of plastic commercial containers introduced

Rehrig has introduced a new line of plastic rear load and front load commercial containers for the collection of recyclables and solid waste.  

“Throughout the years we’ve worked with municipalities and haulers to identify their needs and develop innovative products that provide efficient solutions for the industry,” said Shawn Kruse, Rehrig’s Commercial Container Business Manager. “Our new plastic containers weigh 1/3 less than comparable metal containers yet are engineered to last longer and reduce or eliminate most repair costs.”   

Drawing on decades of design and manufacturing experience, Rehrig selected materials and created specific features that would endure the abuses all commercial containers suffer during the collection process. Both their rear and front load container models are manufactured with high-impact, UV-stabilized, 100 percent recyclable, polyethylene resin that will not rust, cleans easily and never needs painting. Units are also designed for quiet pick-up and disposal, ideal for use in noise sensitive areas and for collection at times often prohibited for metal containers.  

“Rehrig’s front load container design is truly unique, with its replaceable pocket sleeves with integrally molded-in bumpers that add sidewall thickness and protection against punctures and repeated impacts,” said Kruse. “Our engineers included standard features in both models that reinforce strength and durability as well as ease of use.” Rehrig’s design includes molded floor beams and stepped sidewalls which provide extra stiffness for support against sagging and bowing, and rigid crowned lids that resist droop and prevent water collection.
