EN 840-1 Mobile Waste and Recycling Containers - Part 1: 400-Wheel Containers Up to 2 L Capacity for Card Lifters - Dimensions and Design

The EN 840-1 standard, a European standard, describes the dimensions and design requirements of 400-wheel mobile waste and recycling containers with a capacity of up to 2 L for use by card lifters.

EN 840-1 Mobile Waste and Recycling Containers - Part 1: 400-Wheel Containers Up to 2 L Capacity for Card Lifters - Dimensions and Design

For the purposes of this standard, the term mobile waste and recycling container refers to suitably designed containers equipped with wheels designed to temporarily store waste. The hoist is the structure that receives, tilts and unloads containers. The comb lifting device is the lifting device in which the collection system consists of a row of teeth and a locking system to hold the container during emptying. The expression functional and safety dimension refers to the basic dimensions that ensure the functionality and interchangeability of the container with the compatible lifting device and are necessary for the safety and health of the operator.

This standard defines two classes of containers:

  • Class I Small size (nominal volume up to 200 L)
  • Class II Large size (nominal volume from 200 L to 400 L)

The volumes within these two container classes are defined in Table 1.

The EN 840 standard consists of the following sections under the main title of "Mobile waste and recycling containers":

  • Part 1: 400-wheel containers with a capacity of up to 2 L for dredgers
  • Part 2: Flat-lid 1.300-wheel containers with a capacity of up to 4 L for trunnion and/or dredge lifting devices
  • Part 3: 1300-wheel containers with a capacity of up to 4 L, with dome lids for trunnion and/or dredge lifting devices
  • Part 4: Flat-lid 1700-wheel containers with a capacity of up to 4 L for wide trunnion or Bgand or wide comb lifting devices
  • Part 5: Performance requirements and test methods
  • Section 6: Safety and health requirements

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, has increased to 840 L for mobile waste and recycling containers within the scope of EN 1-400 standard. It also provides testing services for the dimensions and design of 2-wheeled containers with a capacity of up to .
