Dennis Ex-Cell handling Paladin Bins

(Jaap Mikkers Collection) More footage from hard-working Tim Byrne. Here we see a modern Dennis Ex-Cell adapted to handle circular 'Paladin' bins, one of the world's earliest types of bulk containers. It is amazing that these big bins still have a few adherants !

where i work as a binman *erewash* derbyshire, we;ve fazed the paladins out, it's all eurobins now.

A Eurobin is a standard rectancular wheelie bin on 4 wheels, 500 litre capacity or greater (normally up to 1300l) that fits on a comb or din-arm hoist (dependant on lifter fitted).

A chamberlain is a square paladin with a lifing comb fitted. I've not seen them outside the UK as of yet. They're taller (about 5ft plus wheels) and 3ft square, so narrower than a standard euro bin. If I can get a video I will!

My primary school had these back in the late eighties and early nineties, i remember the sides having the imprint of the wagon clamps as they were worn out.

In one of the junior years i was a litter picker and had to try and get the bags in, i was only 4' something as a 7 year old and it was hard to throw them high enough to get them in, hehe.

Just of curiosity, Glenrea or someone else...

I assume the "eurobins" are normal square 2-wheel or 4-wheel bins as seen in most of Europe, but I've never heard of a Chamberlain before? What's that?

Ahh, I remember those being used in Sandwell in the 90s. The sides would become crushed in and when it was released it usually would not be at ground level. Boiing!

[tharealsteven]

those are weird bins lol

[djzee1000]

Too right dude, also when there icy they slip like hell, good idea in theory but like you say under health and safty they are all being fazed out and replaced with eurobins (1100/1280's)

[glenrea]

If you watch the second bin on this film, you'll see it slip. They hurt when they fall out the clamps and land on you
