If you own a roll-off dumpster business, then dumpsters are one of the key components of running the business successfully. Maintaining dumpsters through the years will help keep dumpsters in rotation without the need to constantly purchase replacements. If you want to extend the life and use of a dumpster, then consider professional welding services.

Welding services have multiple options to help protect and enhance the dumpster rentals you offer.

1. Mobile Dumpster Repairs

Bringing a dumpster to a welding shop is possible, but the transportation and time taken is often inconvenient for both sides. One way to efficiently maintain and repair dumpsters is with a mobile welding service. A welding team can show up wherever needed to complete welding jobs. Portable welding equipment completes the repairs and minimizes downtime.

One of the main benefits of a mobile welding service is same-day or emergency services. If a customer has a dumpster rental and runs into problems, then a mobile welding team can show up at the dumpster rental location and make the repairs. You don't have to worry about replacing the dumpster and wasting resources by dropping off a replacement.

The quick services will keep your dumpster inventory at full capacity so you do not need to turn away customers either.

2. Custom Ladders and Stairs

Enhance your dumpsters with more accessible features. A welding team can provide custom ladders or stairs on the side of a dumpster. With the climbing options, people who rent the dumpsters can easily climb up the side when the door is not in use or accessible. Welding the ladders or steps directly onto the dumpster provides extra strength and stability.

The metal fuses to each other and creates a permanent bond. You can choose the ideal locations for the ladder, including the number of steps and the width of the ladder. Along with the actual welding, welders can help with the planning and design process.

3. Dumpster Patch Repairs

Impact damage and natural rust deterioration can all cause problems for dumpsters. You may notice holes form in the bottom or sides of the dumpster. If the hole remains, then you run the risk of items falling out of the dumpster or the hole becoming bigger. A welding team can add patches to both the interior and exterior of the dumpster.

The repaired sections add more stability to the dumpster and can help prevent the spread of rust. The repairs are also a more permanent option so you don't have to constantly replace or inspect temporary options like mounted pieces of wood or metal.

4. Dumpster Doors and Access

A dumpster has multiple functions necessary to run smoothly. Locks and levers are needed for a door to open smoothly. If a hinge cracks or a lever snaps off, the dumpster may not operate correctly or stay shut when needed. A welder can focus on small details to repair little parts of the dumpster.

Along with the door sections, a welder can repair any dumpster truck connections. An essential part of dumpster transportation is the lift and drop-off procedures. If sections of the dumpster are cracked or broken, then a welder can make the repairs and test out the different functions. Without the repairs, you could run into transportation problems.

If a dumpster falls off a truck, you do not want to deal with the cleanup or possible liability of road and property damage. If another car crashes into a fallen dumpster or dumpster contents, you could also be liable.
