Overview of Roll Off Containers

The unique design of the roll off containers enables them to roll on and off vehicles used to haul loads of construction waste and other bulk waste material. The designs include bathtub style and rectangular style. The bathtub design gets further classified as a standard bathtub and heavy-duty bathtub.

Which Roll-Off Container Design Do You Need?

Bathtub

The bathtub design containers are stackable and smooth-sided. You will not find any outer rail structure on them. Depending on the visibility of the job, the tub containers are ideal for decals and signage.

Rectangle

The rectangle style roll-off container is a popular choice as it can accommodate the most rugged and densest waste materials. The reinforced steel containers are often seen on cargo ships.

Depending on your specific need, you can upgrade the roll-off containers. The different upgrade options include:

•       Heavy duty wall and floor upgrade.
•       Decal plates.
•       Gasketed sealed cover.
•       Gravel guards.
•       Front ground rollers.
•       Roll off covers.
•       Recycling tops.
•       Ratchet door lock system.
•       Side stiffeners.
•       Special length containers.
