NOTE Terms for components of mobile waste and recycling containers and lifting devices in three languages
are given in Annex A of EN 840-1:2020.
3.1
mobile waste and recycling container
appropriately designed container fitted with wheels intended to temporarily store waste
3.2
lifting device
structure which picks-up, tilts and empties containers
3.3
comb lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a row of teeth and a locking system to retain
the container during emptying
Under preparation. Stage at the time of publication: FprEN 1501-1.
3.4
trunnion lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a pair of arms with automatic locking
mechanism to fit the trunnion to retain the container during emptying
3.5
BG lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a pair of arms with adaptors that fit the BG
receivers and locks them in order to retain the container during emptying
Note 1 to entry: See Figures 5 and 6.
3.6
volume
total space inside the container when the lid is closed
3.7
nominal volume
capacity
volume stated by the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: See Table 1 without tolerances.
Note 2 to entry: The English term “capacity” and the French term “capacité” are translated in the German
version by the term “Nennvolumen”.
3.8
nominal mass
mass, which is calculated as given in Clause 6
3.9
total permissible mass
mass of the container plus the nominal load
3.10
functional and safety dimension
essential dimensions which ensure the functionality and interchangeability of the container with the
compatible lifting device and which are necessary for the operator's safety and health
4 Volumes
This part of EN 840 identifies the two classes of containers:
— Class I - small size (nominal volume up to 1 050 l);
— Class II - large size (nominal volume between 1 050 l and 1 700 l).
Within the two above-mentioned classes of containers the following volumes are identified: 750 l,
1 000 l, 1 300 l, 1 400 l, 1 500 l, 1 600 l and 1 700 l. Nominal volumes different from those referenced
can be used by agreement between user and manufacturer. The tolerance of the volumes shall be ± 5 %
maximum measured according to EN 840-5.
5 Dimensions and design
5.1 The design of the containers do not need to correspond to the drawings given in Figure 1. The
functional dimensions given in Table 1 shall be respected. Recommendations for manufacturers of
lifting devices are given in EN 1501-5.
5.2 The container shall be constructed so that when it is unloaded or loaded with a nominal load
(see Clause 6), it fits on an approved compatible lifting device. It shall be automatically locked safely
into the lifting device during the lifting operation. If the container is equipped with a comb receiver, it
shall correspond to Figure 2.
5.3 The lid(s) shall cover the opening of the container com
