Lock systems for Weber plastic wheelie bins and waste containers

Wheelie bin locks – practical solutions to protect against unauthorised access and spillage

Weber offers a range of lid locks for 2- and 4-wheel waste containers. The choice of lock system depends on customer requirements regarding logistics, key concept and area of use. Residential complexes, commercial sites and public collection points place different demands on lid security. All lock systems listed here are available as factory-fitted options directly from Weber.

Lock function: with or without automatic release

Lock function · automatic

Gravity lock with automatic function

Identifiable by the red signal colour

Gravity lock – upper lid part with key and lower lid part — Weber — Gravity lock – upper lid part with key and lower lid part

Gravity lock with automatic function – 4-wheel waste containers — Weber — Gravity lock with automatic function – 4-wheel waste containers

Protection against unauthorized access, animals and heavy winds and storm gusts.

The gravity lock engages mechanically as soon as the lid is closed. No key is needed to lock it; the lid locks under its own weight. The user opens it with a key. The bin also stays locked if it is accidentally knocked over. Where waste is weighed and charged by weight, the lock protects your own bin from being used by others.

When tipped beyond 90°, i.e. in the bin lifter, the container opens automatically and releases its contents for emptying.
The gravity function is an additional component inside the container body, with a cylinder lock with automatic function.

Available for Weber 2- and 4-wheel wheelie bins from 60 L to 1100 L.

Lock function · manual

Locks without automatic function

Identifiable by the green signal colour

Lock without automatic function – 2-wheel wheelie bins — Weber — Lock without automatic function – 2-wheel wheelie bins

The manual lock also ensures secure closure, but without the automatic opening function, e.g. to protect confidential documents. Unlike locks with a gravity function, it must be unlocked by the collection crew before emptying.

Locking types

Triangular lock with snap function – lower lid part — Weber — Triangular lock with snap function – lower lid part

The triangular lock cylinder accepts standardised triangular keys, as used by municipal waste management companies. The metal housing is corrosion-protected; the functional parts and the triangular key are made of metal. The triangular lock is also very well suited to municipal litter bins and similar receptacles.

Open/close version: must be actively locked.
Snap lock: locks automatically once the key is removed.

Available for all Weber 2- and 4-wheel waste containers from 60 L to 1100 L.

Locking type · profile cylinder

Profile cylinder lock

Profile cylinder lock – 4-wheel waste containers

The profile cylinder lock is available in combination with the automatic lock or with the lock without automatic function. The profile cylinder accepts standard profile keys and allows more individual key authorisation than a triangular lock. This version is suitable for containers holding confidential documents, pharmaceutical waste or waste streams with restricted access. The cylinder is replaceable and can be integrated into a master key system for a container fleet. Keyed-alike and keyed-different systems are available.

Locking type · padlock

Padlock bracket

The padlock bracket allows the operator to use their own padlock to secure the lid. This option suits sites without a uniform standard key system, such as waste collection points and areas for hazardous waste, but also multi-occupancy residential buildings.

Available for all Weber 2-wheel wheelie bins from 60 L to 360 L and all 4-wheel flat-lid containers from 660 L to 1100 L.

Lid apertures for 2- and 4-wheel plastic waste containers

Lid apertures allow waste to be deposited through a closed lid and prevent unauthorised access, as they are usually combined with lock systems. Alternatively, lid apertures on 2- and 4-wheel waste containers are used to give users more convenient access. Weber manufactures apertures for paper, glass bottles/drink cans and packaging waste for the entire range of 2- and 4-wheel plastic containers. Depending on the version, the apertures are integrated into the lid.

Lid apertures · paper

Paper slot – 4-wheel waste container — Weber — Paper slot – 4-wheel waste container

Paper slot – 2- and 4-wheel waste containers

The paper slot in the lid, also available with a protective hood, allows documents, paper and envelopes to be deposited without opening the lid. This version is used as a file box for document disposal in offices, public authorities and public areas, but also in multi-occupancy residential buildings. The narrow aperture also prevents bulky foreign matter from entering the paper fraction. The paper slot must be combined with a lock system.

Lid apertures · bottles

Round aperture for bottles and drink cans — 2-wheel wheelie bins

Circular aperture for glass bottles on a 2-wheel wheelie bin. Depending on the lid size, the aperture diameter is available as Ø 90, 120 and 160 mm. A rubber seal can be added to close the aperture, reduce odour emissions and keep insects out.

Double bottle aperture — 4-wheel waste containers

Two circular bottle apertures (Ø 160/200 mm each) side by side in the lid of a 4-wheel flat-lid container. The double version suits busy glass collection points, for example in catering areas, hotels or retail environments. A single aperture would result in uneven filling of the container.

Lid apertures · packaging

Apertures for packaging (brush aperture)

Packaging aperture – 2-wheel wheelie bins — Weber — Packaging aperture – 2-wheel wheelie bins

Packaging apertures – 4-wheel waste containers — Weber — Packaging apertures – 4-wheel waste containers

Brush aperture — 2-wheel wheelie bin

The brush aperture uses stiff bristles across the opening. Packaging such as cartons, plastic bottles and film can be pushed through. Lightweight items are not sucked back out by the wind. This version suits collection points and retail sites with high volumes of packaging.

Double brush aperture — 4-wheel container

Two brush apertures in the lid of a 4-wheel container for disposing of larger quantities of packaging waste. The bristles allow lightweight packaging to be pushed in while preventing the wind from sucking material back out of the container. This configuration suits shopping centres, collection points and outdoor event areas.

Lid opener & foot pedal for 2- and 4-wheel plastic waste containers

The foot pedal lid opener is available for 2-wheel containers in the sizes 80 L, 120 L and 240 L and for 4-wheel plastic waste containers from 660 to 1100 litres. Pressing the pedal with the foot opens the container lid fully, so waste can be deposited without touching the lid or the container body. The mechanism is factory-fitted and works without electrical power.

The foot pedal mechanism consists of a steel rod running from the pedal at the lower edge of the container to a lever arm at the lid hinge. On 4-wheel containers, a return spring assists closing when the pedal is released. Under normal operating conditions, no regular maintenance is required.

RFID transponder / chip nest for plastic waste containers

A chip nest for an RFID transponder in accordance with EN 14803 is standard on all Weber 2- and 4-wheel plastic waste containers. The chip nest is moulded into the container body at a defined position in the comb lift and accepts commercially available transponders with an M30 thread, which municipal waste management companies use for route management, weighing data capture and billing systems.

Weber offers the supply and fitting of all transponder types common in waste management – optionally also with barcode labels. The RFID codes can be scanned at the factory and supplied as a file, also in combination with a container number.

Printing & marking of plastic wheelie bins and waste containers

Weber offers hot-foil stamping, transfer printing and in-mould lid embossing as factory-integrated marking options for 2- and 4-wheel plastic waste- and recycling containers. All processes produce permanent, weather-resistant marking on the container body and/or lid. The marking is applied during production.

Hot-foil stamping on the lid of a wheelie bin — Weber

Hot-foil stamping on the body of a wheelie bin — Weber

Hot-foil stamping on the body of a 4-wheel waste container — Weber

Printing & marking · hot-foil stamping

Hot-foil stamping — 2-wheel and 4-wheel wheelie bins

Single-colour hot-foil print on the flat top of the wheelie bin lid and on the front of the body of a waste and recycling container. The print area can carry logos, waste stream symbols, address text or numbering and is suitable for identifying waste streams in public collection or for your company logo. The print colour is determined by the foil used and matched to the container's colour. The marking is resistant to UV radiation, rain and usual cleaning. The print is clearly visible when the wheelie bin stands at the kerbside or in a bin storage. The process is also suitable for marking the containers with consecutive container numbers on the front and back.

Transfer printing: consecutive container number with barcode on a waste container — Weber

Transfer printing: Blue Angel ecolabel on a waste container — Weber

Printing & marking · transfer printing

Transfer printing on body and lid

More complex consecutive numbering, also in combination with barcodes, can be applied to container bodies or lids by transfer printing. The process is also suitable for applying smaller, detailed markings, for example complex logos or QR codes.

Transfer printing – static: The same design is printed on every container in a series, for example the “Blue Angel” ecolabel (Der Blaue Engel) for products made from recycled plastics (DE-UZ 30a), a company logo or a user instruction.

Transfer printing – consecutive number with barcode: Each container receives its own consecutive container number with a machine-readable barcode. This allows the containers to be clearly assigned, recorded and managed.

Printing & marking · in-mould lid embossing

In-mould lid embossing

All lids have areas in which customer-specific in-mould embossing can be applied. This allows years, company logos, addresses and user instructions to be permanently embossed.

Barcode sticker with container number on the body of a blue 2-wheel wheelie bin — Weber

Printing & marking · stickers

Stickers for 2- and 4-wheel wheelie bins

Weber offers to apply your stickers – whether company logos, waste stream labels or user instructions – during the manufacture of your containers.

The stickers can be applied to the lid or to the body of 2- and 4-wheel wheelie bins – for example as a sorting guide for recyclables directly on the lid or as a barcode sticker with the container number on the body. The containers thus leave the factory already labelled. Our sales team will advise you on positions and quantities.

Lifting systems for 4-wheel plastic waste containers

Depending on the vehicle technology, different standardised lifting systems are used. Weber produces containers with a comb lift as standard and offers lifting trunnions or Ochsner lifting systems for side lifting in accordance with EN 1501-5 as an option. The choice depends on the vehicle fleet used, and the collection method required.

Lifting systems · side lifting trunnion

Side lifting trunnion

The side lifting trunnion is a pin on the outer wall of the container. It is inserted into the lifting fork. The trunnion body is reinforced with a steel insert to absorb the lifting forces during mechanical emptying of full containers. Design in accordance with EN 1501-5. Available for 660 L and 1100 L.

Lifting systems · reinforced side lifting trunnion

Side lifting trunnion — reinforced version

The side lifting trunnion in accordance with EN 840-2/3 is also available in a reinforced version. The design supports the side walls and prevents the container from deforming under heavy loads in the bin lifter.

Lifting systems · Ochsner lifting system

Ochsner lifting system

Ochsner handles are bolted metal brackets on the side walls of the container. They are used by collection vehicles with an Ochsner lifting system. Available on request for 660 L, 770 L and 1100 L flat-lid containers.

Lifting trunnion with safety stopper on a 4-wheel waste container — Weber

Lifting systems · safety stopper

Lifting trunnion with safety stopper (stop disc)

The safety stopper is a stop disc bolted to the lifting trunnion preventing the container from slipping out of the lifting device during tipping, e.g. if the bin lifter is not adjusted correctly or shows signs of wear. This reduces the risk of a container falling out of the bin lifter during emptying, especially on uneven ground, when the collection vehicle is standing on a slope or with heavily loaded containers.

Wheels and castors for 2- and 4-wheel plastic waste containers, lifting handles

The standard wheel for Weber 2-wheel plastic waste containers is a solid rubber wheel made from recycled raw materials with a diameter of Ø 200 mm on a galvanised tubular steel axle with closed ends. For applications where this standard is not sufficient, Weber offers alternative wheel diameters and solid axles. For 4-wheel waste and recycling containers there is a wide choice of special castor variants. The following selection shows the most important options available.

2-wheel wheelie bins

Wheels with 250 mm and 300 mm diameter on a wheelie bin — Weber

Wheels · 2-wheel

Wheels with Ø 250 mm and Ø 300 mm

Wheels with Ø 250 mm are available for 140 L, 180 L and 240 L wheelie bins. A wheel with Ø 300 mm can be fitted to the 360 L container. The larger diameter improves mobility on gravel, paving and uneven outdoor surfaces. All options use the same axle as the standard Ø 200 mm wheel.

4-wheel waste containers (660–1100 L)

Central brake system on a 4-wheel plastic waste container — Weber

Central stop with side lifting handles on a 4-wheel waste container — Weber

Wheels · central brake

Central brake system — 4-wheel containers

The central brake system operates two of the four castors simultaneously via a mechanical linkage. The brake is applied by pressing a foot pedal on the right-hand side of the container. It is released with a triangular key on the right-hand side handle. The central brake is used for better ergonomic handling of the containers.

Side lifting handles on a 4-wheel waste container — Weber

Chassis · 4-wheel

Side lifting handles — 4-wheel waste containers

Side lifting handles (right and left) make it easier to lift and manoeuvre the waste container. With the central brake system, the lifting handles are included in the scope of delivery.

Heavy-duty castor with steel rim for 4-wheel plastic waste containers — Weber

Wheels · heavy-duty

Heavy-duty castors, non-marking wheels & polyamide wheels

Weber offers three special castor types for 4-wheel containers: heavy-duty castors with steel rim and ball or roller bearings for higher loads or longer transport distances; non-marking rubber wheels for sealed indoor floors in production, clean rooms or food areas; and polyamide wheels for environments with chemical exposure or special temperature requirements.

Wheels · directional lock

Directional lock

Directional locks are fitted to two of the four castors to stop them swivelling to block them in one direction. This improves straight-line running when pushing the container and prevents it from veering sideways when towed. Directional locks are a prerequisite for the safe use of a tow bar system. Available for all 4-wheel containers.

Tow bar systems, forklift pockets and transport aids for plastic waste containers

For sites where several 4-wheel containers have to be moved at the same time, Weber offers a tow bar system for coupling several containers, forklift pockets for transport with industrial trucks, and an unloading frame and a destacking aid for forklift use.

Forklift pockets on a blue 4-wheel plastic waste container — Weber

Tow bars & logistics · forklift

Forklift pockets — 4-wheel waste containers

Forklift pockets are galvanised steel attachments on the container base. They allow a single 4-wheel container to be picked up and transported by forklift. They are used at transfer stations, recycling centres and industrial plants where containers are moved and emptied by forklift. Available for Weber 660 L, 770 L and 1100 L flat-lid containers.

Tow bar system for coupling several 4-wheel plastic waste containers — Weber

Towing coupling between two 4-wheel waste containers, detail — Weber

Tow bars & logistics · tow bar system

Tow bar system — moving several 4-wheel containers

The tow bar system consists of a coupling system that connects several 4-wheel containers one behind the other to form a train. A towing vehicle moves the entire container train in one operation. Directional locks on two castors per container ensure straight-line running. This solution is used in large residential complexes, hospitals and industrial plants when groups of containers are moved over longer distances.

Tow bars & logistics · unloading

Forklift unloading frame

The forklift unloading frame is a container pick-up comb that is slid onto standard forks and secured against slipping with a chain. This allows a forklift to lift and move a stack of empty 2-wheel wheelie bins in operation. This reduces handling time and the risk of accidents when unloading and distributing new containers or returning them after servicing.

Tow bars & logistics · destacking

Forklift destacking aid

The destacking aid is a flat steel frame that is mounted on the forks and slid between two stacked wheelie bins. A chain with a safety catch secures the frame to the forklift. Destacking 4-wheel containers is considerably more ergonomic with the destacking aid.
