Frequently Asked Questions about the affordable bin lift for home use

Wheelie Bin Essentials Bin Lift is a handy tool that attaches to the front lip of a 240L wheelie bin and is used to hook on to the handles of a smaller wheelie bin. Both can be moved together inline to another location such as the kerb or back once the bins have been emptied.

The standard Bin Lift is less than 400g in weight but, due to its design, is incredibly strong and sturdy. 

The Bin Lift plastic parts are made from recycled HDPE plastic and the metal fittings from stainless steel. 

Your wheelie bins are also made from HDPE plastic

The Bin Lift must be removed when the bins are out for rubbish collection but can remain on them once they have been emptied.

We have been using our original test Bin Lifts for over 18 months and they have been left attached to the 240L bin for all of that time exposed to the various weather elements (except when the bins are out to be emptied when they are removed). They are still in the same condition as when we first started using them.

The standard Bin Lift has been designed to suit attachment to 240L wheelie bins and, with the basic model, pick up any of the 80L bins regardless of the handle spacing. The basic model has the ability to be easily adjusted to suit the less common narrow handled 80L bins as well as the standard 320mm handle spaced bins. 

If you do have the narrow style 80L bin handles as well as the larger 120L or 140L bins, w e recommend using the Bin Lift Handle Spacers along with the 120L/140L Adaptor (available separately) to ensure that the larger bins are picked up centrally to the main bin.
