Description

  • They are ideally suited to extra-urban areas as well as suburbs and locations with wide streets.
  • Our semi-underground steel containers are typically cylindrical but can also be built with a square base.
  • They feature a monolithic reinforced concrete shell and an internal steel container made from pre-galvanised sheet.
  • The above-ground portion can be finished in brushed concrete, exposed-aggregate concrete, or slats in wood or composite.
  • Our semi-underground bell islands offer capacities from 3 m³ to 5 m³, plus a 1.6 m³ unit designed specifically for organic fraction collection.
  • The domed lid has deposit openings customised for each waste type.
  • Semi-underground steel containers are emptied by gravity, using Kinshofer lift systems, twin-hook or single-hook equipment.
  • They have no hydraulic or electrical components.
  • Emptying systems can be single-hook, twin-hook or Kinshofer.
  • All our semi-underground bell containers can be fitted with hardware and software for access control and fill-level monitoring.
