Frequently Asked Questions

Crane lift bins are materials handling devices that allow bins of materials to be lifted using forklifts and overhead cranes. Crane lift bins come in dozens of sizes and varieties to match your needs. While some can be handled by forklifts, others are designed for construction and gantry cranes, so bins are available for all lifting devices.

Crane lift bins are widely used in the construction, manufacturing and mining industries to lift and transport materials, waste and products. Because crane lift bins can move large amounts of materials with each lift, they’re an incredibly efficient solution for transporting and dumping materials.

Crane lifting bins are manufactured with dedicated lugs and lifting points to securely hook onto crane rigging. They use a controlled release or tipping mechanism to hoist and empty loose materials. Built in fork pockets also allow the ability to shift bins at ground level using a forklift.

Most crane lift bins are designed as open-top bins that can be used to lift just about anything. Loose waste and other materials such as gravel, stone and bricks can all be transported in a crane lift bin. In some cases, crane lift bins may be designed to lift specific products, such as pallets, pipes and gas cylinders.

There are numerous benefits to using crane lifting bins including multi-level (high rise) waste handling, less manual stress, fewer workplace injuries, and the ability to move and dump bulk materials loads.

Common types of crane lifting bins include crane site bins, crane goods bins, reinforcing steel crane lifting bins, site dump bins, and riggers site boxes.

A crane lifting bin reduces the net load capacity as the bin’s weight must be subtracted from the crane’s maximum rated capacity.

Some types of crane lift bins are designed to be stackable, allowing them to be used as an effective onsite storage solution. In other cases, crane lift bins may be designed to nest, reducing the amount of space required to store empty bins. Talk to Bremco about your lifting needs. We’re happy to design a custom crane lift bin that features the stacking or nesting capabilities you require.

Before using a crane beam it is essential to:

  • Ensure the lifting bin meets Australian Standards and has the compliance plate attached and it’s tested and tagged to AS4991.
  • Never exceed the Working Load Limit (WLL)
  • Inspect all equipment including the lifting bins, lifting, points, hooks, and shackles to identify any deformities, cracks or other damage before use.
  • Perform a lift trial to verify load balance and stability before lifting the bin.
