Commercial Waste Containers

Based in Merseyside, GWR has a rich engineering and steel fabrication history. From our roots as a container manufacturer, we’ve successfully diversified into the waste and recycling industry. As a leader in the industry, we offer a diverse range of containers, including skips, FELs (Front End Loaders), RELs (Rear End Loaders), compactors and roll-on-roll-off containers.

We own the whole manufacturing process, cutting and pressing large section steel from high specification structural steel, produced to the European Standard EN 10025-2:2004. (S275JR). This grade has a minimum yield strength of 275 N/mm2, and a tensile strength of 410 -560 N/mm2. The steel panels are welded together to form the shell of the waste container. We then assemble, weld and finish to a range of specifications. Welcome to your one-stop solution for high-quality waste management containers.

Our Range of Waste Solutions

GWR offer several ‘off-the-shelf designs’ and standard industry sizes. We can also make bespoke designs tailored to suit your requirements. We have been designing and manufacturing waste containers for over four decades and offer a wide range of open and closed skips, heavy-duty front and rear-end loaders, commercial waste compactors and bulk RoRos. We take care of the logistics too, delivering our range of products to businesses in the UK, Ireland and further afield.

Front End Loaders (FELs) and (Rear End Loaders) (RELs)

Our FEL and REL range suits businesses that produce high volumes of waste and need regular collections. An FEL is a more compact design, reaching a 10-yard capacity. They have an easy-access top-loading design and lockable lid.

If you need to storage space for more waste, then a rear-end loader may be best. An REL skip shape means they’re easy to empty as they’re tipped into the collection vehicle and then simply put back in the same place for fast removal. A REL reaches 16 yard capacity in heavy-duty pressed steel with a lid and back doors.
