RACK SACK TRASH RECEPTICAL SAVES FLOOR SPACE

Traditional trash cans are not only an obstacle for forklifts to try to avoid, but they are also heavy, difficult to maneuver, and consume significant floor space.

Do the math. If the diameter of a standard 55 gallon trash can is 26 inches, the square footage of just a single trash can is equal to 3.687 square feet.

If the value of one square foot of the warehouse is equal to $10 per square foot, then the value of the space the traditional 55 gallon trash can consumes is $36.87 per year.

The 5-year space expense of a traditional trash can can be calculated as $184.35. Add to the space expense the acquisition cost of each traditional 55-gallon trash can, and the total cost of a single trash can in a warehouse is in excess of $288.

ESTIMATE THE SAVINGS FROM RACKSACK VS TRADITIONAL COMMERCIAL WAREHOUSE TRASH CANS

Compare this to the affordable price of a Rack Sack that consumes no floor space at all. Just simply suspend it from the end-frame of your pallet racking. Also available are Rack Sack minis that can be suspended from boltless shelving or work benches.

Without Rack Sack Hanging Trash Receptacle

Here is what it looks like when you do not have a Rack Sack.

Here is another example of a trash receptacle hanging on the end or a racking upright.

Rack Sack is a better solution for organizing and collecting waste in a warehouse.

When hung, it has a large open mouth to easily receive waste, yet its tapered design enables it to hardly encroach into the floor area. Originally designed for the warehouse the Racksack’s flexible method of ‘S’ locator fixing means it can be hung over or hooked onto any substrate. That’s why the racksack has quickly established itself a place in other industrial areas such as factories, offices or anywhere where waste has become a problem.

Made from tough waterproof polyester, the Racksack can adequately withstand the rigors of an industrial environment.

Three strong handles are woven into the edge of the sack, one on each side for carrying and one on the base, so that the sack can be easily tilted from the base and emptied.

Available in 14 standard text designs and 5 international designs, including a blank sack, the racksack^® can be used for almost any recyclable material.
