Category ยท Construction-material containers for forklifts โ€“ transport of bulk material & building materials

Construction-material containers for forklifts 1 mยณ ยท 1500 kg load capacity ยท stackable โ€“ for gravel, sand, rubble & more

Robust steel containers for the transport and storage of bulk material, gravel, sand, cement, construction rubble and other building materials by forklift. All three models hold 1 mยณ and carry 1500 kg โ€“ triple-stackable for space-saving storage. Available with a smooth steel base (BBG), a lightweight design (BBP) or a folding chute wall for easy loading (BBK). Galvanised or painted.

BBG 100 โ€“ smooth steel

The BBG 100 is made of smooth sheet steel and is particularly suitable for fine bulk material such as sand, gravel or soil, which is easy to remove again. The smooth inner surface prevents material from sticking to the walls. Triple-stackable, 4500 kg stacking load.

BBP 100 โ€“ lightweight design

At 90 kg own weight, the BBP 100 is the lightest model in the range and therefore particularly economical in forklift-weight management. Stackable and available in a painted or galvanised version โ€“ ideal when the container's own weight plays a role.

BBK 100 โ€“ folding chute wall

The BBK 100 has a folding chute wall that makes loading considerably easier โ€“ wheelbarrows or machines can bring material in directly from the side without having to lift it over the edge. Particularly practical with coarse construction rubble, demolition material and stones.

Areas of use

Construction-material containers are used in construction companies, industry, trades and agriculture โ€“ wherever bulk material has to be transported and stored temporarily with the forklift. Being triple-stackable, they save valuable space on cramped construction sites and in warehouses.

Choosing the right construction-material container for your application

๐Ÿงฑ

Which material is being transported?

For fine bulk material (sand, gravel, soil): the BBG 100 with a smooth steel inner surface โ€“ material slides out easily. For coarse demolition material, stones and construction rubble: the BBK 100 with a folding chute wall โ€“ loading by wheelbarrow without lifting over the edge. For general use at a favourable own weight: the BBP 100.

Mind the forklift load capacity

All three containers weigh 90โ€“118 kg empty and carry a 1500 kg payload. When fully loaded, the forklift thus reaches a load of about 1600โ€“1620 kg โ€“ plus the load distance. The forklift must be designed for this total weight. With three empty containers stacked, the stacking load is 4500 kg โ€“ the forklift must also be able to bear this.

๐Ÿ”„

Emptying โ€“ how does the material come out?

The BBG and BBP containers are emptied by tilting the forklift โ€“ the forklift raises the tines on one side and the material flows over the edge. The BBK 100 can alternatively be emptied via the folding chute wall if no tilting forklift is available. For controlled emptying at an exact position: the BBK is more flexible.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Triple-stackable โ€“ a space advantage

All models are triple-stackable: three empty containers on top of each other need as much floor space as one. This saves considerable storage space on the construction site and in the warehouse. The stackability requires a stacking load of 4500 kg โ€“ the forklift must be designed accordingly for the stacking process.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Galvanised or painted?

Galvanised: lasting corrosion protection, also suitable for outdoor use and damp building materials โ€“ ideal for permanent use. Slightly heavier than painted (about 7 kg extra weight). Painted: cheaper, sufficient for covered storage and dry building materials. For construction rubble and wet materials, the galvanised variant is recommended.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Typical areas of use

Construction-material containers are used for: bulk-material transport on construction sites (sand, gravel, grit, soil), the disposal of construction rubble and demolition material, the temporary storage of building materials, material transport in precast and concrete works, and in agriculture for grain, wood chips and compost.

Frequently asked questions about construction-material containers

BBG 100: a container made of smooth sheet steel โ€“ for fine bulk material, easy emptying, sturdy construction. BBP 100: the lightest model (90 kg empty) โ€“ for applications where the container's own weight plays a role. BBK 100: with a folding chute wall โ€“ enables loading by wheelbarrow without lifting over the edge and emptying without tilting the forklift. The BBK is the most versatile model, the BBG the classic all-rounder, the BBP the lightweight option.
Depending on the model, there are two methods: Tilting: the forklift raises the tines on one side โ€“ the material flows over the low edge of the container. This works well with the BBG and BBP. Folding wall: the BBK 100 has a folding chute wall โ€“ this is opened and the material flows out to the side. This enables more controlled emptying, even without a tilting forklift. Alternatively, the container can also be tilted by crane or other lifting devices.
Triple-stackable means that three empty containers can be safely placed on top of each other โ€“ this saves two-thirds of the floor space in storage. Prerequisite: during the stacking process, the forklift must be able to bear the specified stacking load of 4500 kg (three containers at about 100โ€“120 kg each = 300โ€“360 kg stacking load + the weight of the upper stacking levels at 1500 kg load capacity per container). Stack only with empty containers!
The steel containers are suitable for almost all bulk materials and building materials: gravel, sand, grit, crushed stone, soil, humus, cement (in bags), construction rubble, demolition material, stones, bricks. Also in agriculture: grain, wood chips, compost, fertiliser. Not suitable for: liquid media (no sealed base), very fine-grained dusts without dust protection. For hazardous substances and chemical materials, special containers are prescribed.
Hot-dip galvanised offers lastingly better corrosion protection โ€“ zinc protects actively (cathodic protection) even when the surface is damaged. Ideal for: outdoor use, damp building materials (sand, soil), permanent use over many years. Painted: cheaper, sufficient for dry halls and dry bulk materials. With scratches in the paint, rust forms โ€“ for outdoor use, regular inspection is recommended. For permanent construction-site use, the galvanised variant is more economical in the long run.
Empty container: 90โ€“118 kg. Maximum payload: 1500 kg. Fully loaded: about 1590โ€“1618 kg. Added to this is the forklift's own-weight component due to the load distance โ€“ the further the load is from the mast centre, the more the effective load capacity is reduced. As a guide: at the respective load distance (typically 600โ€“1000 mm), the forklift should have at least 2000 kg load capacity. Always consult the forklift's load-capacity diagram.
