Toter 55-gallon Atlas heavy-duty waste cans help prevent workplace injuries

by Brianna Crandall — November 4, 2016 — As part of its continued efforts to create rugged products that address industry needs, Toter, a Wastequip brand, has expanded its popular line of Atlas waste cans to include a larger-capacity 55-gallon size engineered to provide superior durability and to help prevent workplace injuries.

The addition of this large-capacity can gives Toter a broad heavy-duty product range and extends Toter’s reputation as a one-stop shop for the janitorial, sanitation and waste management needs of industrial and institutional customers including offices, universities, hospitals, manufacturing facilities and others.

The Atlas commercial-grade, large-capacity cans are engineered for superior durability, using advanced rotational molding in the manufacturing process and featuring Toter’s Rugged Rim design for added strength and impact resistance around the rim.

Durability

Like all Toter products, the Atlas commercial-grade, large-capacity can is engineered for superior durability. Manufactured using advanced rotational molding (see video), Atlas waste cans are said to be stronger and more durable than injection-molded containers and feature Toter’s Rugged Rim design for added strength and impact resistance around the rim, where containers are prone to wear.

Atlas cans feature:

  • Heavy-duty base to protect against wear
  • Snap-tight lid for a snug fit
  • Rugged Rim design for impact resistance
  • Tough, non-slip handles
  • Fluted inner walls for easy removal of plastic can liners
Safety

Fully compatible with the lifter and dolly adapter, Atlas waste cans are part of Toter’s system solution to provide easy maneuverability and to eliminate manual lifting and dumping, which can help to reduce workplace injuries. Toter’s system solution is designed to safely and efficiently collect, transport and dispose of waste and recyclables throughout industrial facilities.

This system includes cart lifters, dolly adapters, wheeled carts, tilt trucks, mobile trucks, cube trucks, front-end loaders and more. These products are also designed to work with existing equipment, regardless of brand, and to reduce workplace injuries through enhanced maneuverability and by eliminating or reducing manual lifting and dumping.

Jeniffer Coates, director of Product Development and Warranty, Toter, noted:

Because we know that facility managers and maintenance engineers devote significant time and resources to handling waste within their facilities, we know how important it is to have the right equipment in place. We’ve taken the toughest, most durable can line available in the industrial market and added a high-demand, higher-capacity size. Whatever your need or however large or small your load, Toter has the right can or cart for you.

Available in 32-, 44- and 55-gallon sizes, Atlas waste cans and other components of the Toter waste management systems such as specialty carts for document management, electronic waste, organics and medical waste can be purchased through a selective nationwide network of distributors.
