Where a stainless steel axle pays off
Zinc plating works well in most towns. However, coastal sites, food waste and washdown areas attack zinc faster, so stainless lasts longer there.
It suits 100 to 240L trash cans and wheelie bins.
Sizes and weights
We offer short (480 mm) and long (550 mm) lengths, with a 21 mm diameter as drawn. Also, other diameters are available on request.
For example, the solid shaft weighs 1.18 kg short and 1.44 kg long. In contrast, the hollow shaft weighs 0.33 kg short and 0.38 kg long.
Solid or hollow stainless steel axle
Choose solid for the heaviest loads. Meanwhile the hollow version weighs roughly 70 percent less, which cuts freight costs.
Also, our zinc vs stainless guide compares both finishes. So send us a photo, the bin model or a sample, and we reply with a drawing and a quote within 12 hours.
