Dumpster Wheels

Getting your dumpster moved from point A to point B on a jobsite may be simple if it’s a small dumpster and it isn’t full – regardless of weight or size though, proper functioning dumpster wheels make the chore of moving your dumpster much easier. Wheels for dumpsters can be plastic or rubber inflatable tires though not all dumpsters will have wheels. Larger dumpsters tend to need to be moved by crane on and off trailer beds. Depending on the circumstance and how you’ll be using your dumpster, you may want to consider getting a dumpster with wheels in advance.

Moving Your Dumpster

Getting a dumpster around is never an easy task as most of them are made of weighty galvanized steel and they weigh a significant amount on their own, let alone filled up. There are trash pickup services that will pick your dumpster up and empty it; if you’re planning on moving your dumpster, be sure it’s empty first. This will put less strain on the wheels thus resulting in a longer dumpster longevity. Long distances are easy when hauling small dumpsters with wheels – if you have a large van or truck you can simply roll the dumpsters in and secure them down with nylon straps. If you have a larger dumpster, there’s more of a science in getting it across far distances. Ultimately, just because your dumpster is large doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t benefit in mobility by having a set of wheels! Craning a dumpster onto the flatbed of a truck is every bit as difficult as pushing one up stilts leading to your truck bed!

What Happens When a Wheel Breaks?

Getting replacement parts for your dumpster is simple. There are waste management companies that frequently have used stock for sale and if there’s no way you can replace the wheel, you can at least catch a deal on another dumpster. For most cases, wheels and replacement parts are available through the manufacturer of your dumpster. Contact them directly and request replacement part pricing. If you’re looking to save a few bucks try searching online for dumpster wholesale merchants that claim to sell parts. If you need your dumpster fixed in a jiffy, search for places that offer expedited shipping. This will allow you to get the parts you need quickest. A broken dumpster is a burden moreso than a blessing on a jobsite – fix it up and have people carting it where ever needed once again!

Replacement Wheels at a Discount

Often times if you purchase in bulk you’ll wind up getting a discount. Wheels are inexpensive and when purchased in sets of three, six or even twelve, you’ll know that you’re well stocked if anything ever breaks and you’ll get the individual parts for less per piece. Other discounts may be available online such as free shipping on orders over a certain dollar amount but you have to scour the internet yourself for those as merchants frequently change promotions and specials to get customers!
