Top
Open top, optionally with a fitted cover
Base
Reinforced flat base
Fabric & coating
180-220 g/m2 woven PP, uncoated
What it settles: Specifies from the worst-case load rather than the average, and states where an open woven bag stops being the right container.
Best for: Construction, demolition and yard waste handled in batches by forklift or crane, where a one-way container is cheaper than a skip.
Not the answer when: The material is fine or dusty, the site must contain liquids, or a permit requires a marked container — in those cases a lined bag or…
Confirm before quoting: Worst-case content and weight, loading method, whether bags are dragged, lifting equipment, and whether rain will reach the bags.
/ Overview & Principle
HOW THIS BAG IS BUILT
The body is a plain woven bag with an open top and a reinforced base, built heavier than a standard FIBC because the load is mixed, sharp-edged and often thrown in rather than poured. Lifting is by four corner loops, by fork sleeves sewn under the base, or by a combination of both, so the bag can be moved by the equipment a waste site already has.
Because the content is unknown in shape and weight, the specification is set from the worst case the site describes: rubble and offcuts with edges, glass, metal trim, soil and mixed packaging. That worst case drives the fabric weight, the base reinforcement and the loop or sleeve attachment.
Operational summary:
A heavy-duty open-top bag for construction, yard and mixed waste, lifted by four loops or handled by fork sleeves. It is built for abrasion and puncture, not for dust control.
/ Features
KEY DESIGN ADVANTAGES.
Two handling options
Loops for crane or forklift jib, fork sleeves for a plain forklift, so the bag fits the equipment already on site.
Folds flat when empty
Empty bags stack and store in a small space, which matters on sites with no covered storage.
Cheaper than a skip for one-way loads
Where the container does not come back, a bag is a lower-cost way to move the same material.
Uncoated weave drains
Uncoated fabric drains a little and resists abrasion better than a coated surface.
Batch inspection record
A batch sheet records the base reinforcement, the sleeve or loop stitch counts and the dimensions.

CUSTOM CONFIGURATIONS & SIZING.
- Size
- 80 x 80 x 80 cm to 95 x 95 x 95 cm (typical) Size is set from the skip or truck bay the bag has to fit.
- SWL / Safety Factor
- SWL 1,000-1,500 kg Rated for the dense loads a waste bag usually carries.
- Lifting
- Four corner loops, fork sleeves, or loops plus sleeves Sleeve spacing is matched to the forklift you use.
- Top
- Open top, optionally with a fitted cover A cover is used where rain would add weight to the load.
- Base
- Reinforced flat base The base takes the abrasion when the bag is dragged or loaded with rubble.
- Fabric & coating
- 180-220 g/m2 woven PP, uncoated Uncoated fabric drains a little and resists abrasion better than a coated surface.
- Printing & packing
- 1-2 colours; baled Print is usually limited to site identification.

PERFORMANCE, TESTING & LIMITS.
1. Performance & working envelope
| Rated range | Typical working range is 1,000-1,500 kg SWL with a reinforced base and four lifting points. The rating assumes the load is evenly distributed and the bag is lifted on all intended points; dragging a loaded bag, side lifting and loading sharp material from height all reduce service life and are confirmed per project. |
|---|
2. How it is validated
| Testing | In-house checks cover fabric weight, base reinforcement pattern, loop and sleeve stitch counts, and filled dimensions. Third-party testing is arranged on request and quoted separately. |
|---|
3. Limits
| Where it is not the answer | Not suitable for fine powders or dusty material, which escape through an open top and an uncoated weave, and not a replacement for a licensed waste container where the site's permit requires one. Sharp, heavy offcuts loaded from height will still cut any woven bag over time. |

Selection & Purchasing Guidance
- Best For:
- Construction, demolition and yard waste handled in batches by forklift or crane, where a one-way container is cheaper than a skip.
- Consider Alternatives When:
- The material is fine or dusty, the site must contain liquids, or a permit requires a marked container — in those cases a lined bag or a conventional container is the right answer.
- Must Confirm Before Quoting:
- Worst-case content and weight, loading method, whether bags are dragged, lifting equipment, and whether rain will reach the bags.
