Frequent Questions
A collection of questions we hear from many of our clients.
How many tons will one of your boxes hold?
Answer: We don’t like to give estimates because box capacity is more a function of volume than weight. The max weight is 20 tons, but customers rarely exceed 5 tons.
Do your containers have lids?
Answer: No, because they are accessible from the top and one end of container. Customers may choose to tarp container to keep precipitation out.
Can I use a roll-off as a dump truck?
Answer: Yes, in many applications.
Why use a roll-off instead of dump truck?
