The Continental® 500 litre is also avalible in our Fork Lift Pokets range.
Width: 1305

Embossing
Permanently identify ownership of your container fleet and discourage theft. Taylor® can emboss up to 4 Letters or custom die logos in to the top part of the logo area on the Continental®. Pressed into the steel body panel prior to the hot dip galvanising process to ensure the overall integrity of the galvanised finish on the bin is not compromised, this embossing cannot be removed or hidden. Taylor is one of the few steel manufacturers that can provide this service.
Flap Lid
Ideal to encourage users to segregate waste streams and deposit their recyclate properly, as well as restricting the discarding of large or incorrect materials. Influencing good recycling behaviour helps to reduce poor quality collections. The self–closing flap lid opens upwards to access the aperture. Can be used for paper, cardboard and mixed recyclables.
Available in any colour from the standard Taylor® lid colour range and to fit container sizes 500, 660, 1100 and 1280. The inner flap lid can even be a different colour to be more noticeable!.
Logos
Flexible design
Ideal to distinguish your container fleet or to brand your container with your corporate identity, logos are fitted to the special recessed panels on Taylor® containers. Logos can be brightly coloured graphics or photographic screen prints or just plain and simple die cut lettering and shapes.
Taylor has the powerful logo and paint scheme capabilities to help you achieve your branding, messaging and recycling participation aims. Our logo department is able to set your text and artwork to make your message stand out in a crowd.
For 360˚ commercial advertising and branding options or to discuss your logo layout options in more detail please contact Customer Service.
New Forest Lid Lock
Provides more security from unauthorised tampering when secured with Fire Brigade Padlock and ensures that the bin is used only by the padlock key holders rather than the standard Taylor diamond key.
Available on Taylor Continental® sizes 500, 660, 770, 820, 1100 and 1280 litre.
Standard Lid Lock
The standard Taylor Lid Lock is simple to use and is operated by the diamond key which is supplied with each bin that the option has been selected on. The container lid is secured shut, particularly useful when encouraging users to deposit waste in the recycling apertures and for preventing unauthorised access to your container.
For extra strong lid security see our New Forest Lock and Fire Brigade Padlock options.
TAGSAFE ID Chip Holder
Pay as you throw (PAYT) ready bins
All Taylor Continental, node and Chamberlain Containers accommodate the Taylor Tagsafe® universal chip holder, enabling them to be chipped for i.d./weighing compliant with the EN 14803 standard.
Taylor Tagsafe® works with all weighing & i.d. systems and their chips used in Europe (for test reports with weighing and i.d. systems click here). Tagsafe® accepts four different types of i.d. Chips; glass 23mm, wedge, disc 25mm and disc 20mm.
The Tagsafe® fits snugly into the special fitting point underneath in the comb bar. The flush fitting means that the likelihood of accidental damage during the emptying process is virtually eliminated.The Tagsafe® cannot be removed without the chip being destroyed.
Taylor® can factory-fit chips into Tagsafe® when building new containers or can supply Tagsafe® for you or your Weighing and ID system provider to install.
If you own Taylor bins manufactured before 2006 they may not have the receptacle for TagSafe. All except our Mark I bins can be precision drilled to accept Tagsafe when your bins are returned for refurbishment, or precision drilled in the field by an engineer from our nationwide Taylor Services fleet
Wheel Anchor
The perfect solution for discreet container security, the Wheel Anchor prevents unauthorised movement by locking the castor in place. To release the container the Wheel Anchor must be unlocked with the key.
Brush Lid
