Bins must not be stacked when the corner post section of the bin has been damaged e Jumbo Bins must not be pushed off trucks onto concrete or other hard surfaces e Jumbo Bins should be periodically inspected for structural damage to the corner posts and upper ribs This is very important in applications where bins are stacked as the corner posts have been designed to bear most of the load when the bins are stored in a stack e Any major cuts or cracks to the corner posts may cause structural collapse in a stack Based on this inspection bins should then be sent in for recycling or repaired Bins with repaired corner posts should be used only in non stacking applications e Do not interstack wood bins with Jumbo Bins SECTION 3 TRANSPORTATION Jumbo Bins are much lighter than wood bins and because the feet interlock they form a more stable block when tied together on a truck and trailer The plastic material they are made from is smoother than wood so they tend to slide more in transport Provisions must be made to prevent bins from sliding backward and forward as well as for sliding from side to side a Bin Movement Forward Backward The force of the wind hitting the front stack of bins tends to force the load on a trailer to the rear possibly forcing the last row of bins at the rear of the trailer off the back A quick stop may also cause the bins to slide forward Strapping may not be sufficient to effectively control this p
