4, 6 and 8 Cubic Yard
Front Load Bear Resistant
Metal Dumpsters
Our "Crested Butte" Bear-Resistant Dumpsters are manufactured from 12 gauge steel. They are industry-standard front-loading dumpsters, available in 4, 6, and 8 cubic yard sizes.
The double access doors are secured with a bear-resistant paddle latch, which allows for personal trash disposal. The unloading lid is unlatched by our gravity latch during the dumping operation.
Our Gravity Latching Mechanism has a hook that is on a pivot. When the dumpster is lifted and rotated forward, the hook pivots away from the pin and allows the door to swing open. When the bear-proof dumpster is set down the hook slides over the pin and engages to secure the lid in place.
There is a hook and pin setup on each side of the bear-resistant dumpster, making it a cooperative 2-person operation to open manually if so desired. The hook/pins are slightly recessed for added resistance.
ENTIRE LID OPERATION
The gravity latch on the dumpster lid operates as shown below.
The pin that the latch engages is internal to the container but is shown here on the outside for clarification purposes. When the dumpster is tilted, the latch will fall away from the pin. This allows the lid to swing away from the container. When lowered the lid closes and the latches once again lock, thus securing the lid again.
TOP ACCESS DOOR OPERATION
The top access doors on the Crested Butte Dumpsters have a spring-loaded paddle latch. The latch is actuated by pulling back on the paddle. The paddle is enclosed within a housing for security. It is a slam-style latch, so the latch will spring out of the way when the door is closed and return to the latched position while engaging a cutout feature on the container body.
