Underground rack system for solid waste collection in a finished pit
Underground hydraulic rack system for solid waste collection in a pit with two tanks from the manufacturer Prodis Lift
Modern cities face a huge volume of municipal solid waste (MSW), which requires an efficient collection and disposal system. Traditional above-ground waste bins often take up a lot of space, disrupt aesthetics, and create unpleasant odors. As manufacturers, we offer an innovative solution — the underground hydraulic post-type MSW collection system, which fits perfectly into urban infrastructure and enhances its environmental friendliness.
Challenges of Modern Waste Disposal Systems
Every day, residents of large cities generate tons of waste. However, traditional methods of collection and storage, such as open containers, do not always cope with the task. The main issues include:
- Unpleasant appearance and odor;
- Limited space for placing containers;
- Difficulties with maintenance in dense urban environments;
- Environmental risks due to improper waste storage.
Solutions from Prodis Lift: What Is It and Who Is It For?
Our company has developed a unique MSW collection system that combines aesthetics, reliability, and ease of operation. The system is ideal for:
- Residential complexes;
- Commercial buildings;
- Public spaces (parks, squares, stadiums).
What Is an Underground Hydraulic Post-Type System?
Basic Operating Principles
The system operates on a simple yet effective principle: waste bins are placed underground in a special pit. When unloading is required, the hydraulic post lifts the containers to the surface, where they can be easily serviced by municipal workers. After servicing, the bins return to their original position.
Design and Key System Components
The system consists of several important components, each responsible for a specific function.
Hydraulic Post
This is the heart of the system, providing the lifting and lowering of the bins. The mechanism operates smoothly, safely, and almost silently.
The Pit and Lifting System
The pit is an underground compartment where the containers are placed. It is isolated from the external environment, preventing the spread of odors and contamination.
MSW Containers
The containers have optimal dimensions and a design suitable for collecting various types of waste, including organic waste, plastic, and paper.
Where Can Such Systems Be Used?
These solutions are in demand in a wide variety of locations:
- Residential areas where maintaining courtyard aesthetics is important;
- Shopping and entertainment centers that require large waste storage capacity;
- Public recreation zones where minimizing the visibility of waste is essential.
Advantages
Reducing visual pollution in cities
Containers hidden underground eliminate visual clutter, helping to preserve the beauty of urban areas.
Convenience for municipal services
Service personnel can easily lift and unload tanks thanks to the automated process. This saves time and reduces labor costs.
Space saving on the premises
The freed-up space can be used for landscaping, parking, or other purposes.
Improving sanitary safety
Containers placed underground reduce the risk of unpleasant odors spreading and animals or insects accessing waste, contributing to a cleaner and more hygienic urban environment.

System specifications
Dimensions and Capacity
The Prodis Lift underground hydraulic post-type system is designed to meet various user needs. It supports the placement of two standard MSW containers with a capacity of 1100 liters each. The pit is adapted for the safe placement of the bins, providing protection from external factors, including groundwater and low temperatures.
Main dimensions:
- Pit depth: from 2 to 2.5 meters, depending on the model.
- Width and length: correspond to standard containers for convenient unloading.
- Lifting mechanism weight: approximately 300–500 kg (depending on configuration).
Materials Used and Their Advantages
We use materials that ensure durability and structural resistance:
- Hot‑rolled steel with zinc coating to prevent corrosion.
- Hydraulic mechanism with reinforced seals, capable of withstanding multiple lifting and lowering cycles.
- Impact‑resistant components that prevent deformation from accidental impacts.
Manufacturing and Assembly Technologies
The manufacturer uses advanced technologies, including laser metal cutting, robotic welding, and protective zinc coating. This approach ensures high assembly precision and eliminates defects.
Examples of underground waste collection systems
Application in Apartment Buildings
Residential complexes often suffer from a lack of space for standard waste collection areas. The waste collection system allows containers to be installed underground, freeing up space for playgrounds, parking lots, and landscaping.
Use in Commercial Properties
Shopping and entertainment centers, office buildings, and hotels generate large volumes of waste daily. Underground waste systems help manage this task, ensuring a neat appearance of the premises and preventing waste accumulation.
Infrastructure Optimization in Public Spaces
In parks, stadiums, and recreational areas, the use of underground systems makes the territory cleaner and more comfortable for visitors. In addition, the system reduces the likelihood of vandalism, since the containers are out of reach.
FAQ
Compactness and Urban Aesthetics
The system allows waste bins to be completely removed from the surface, freeing up space and improving the appearance of the area. This is especially relevant for modern residential complexes and historical city zones.
High Structural Reliability
Prodis Lift products are made from high-quality materials resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage. The system operates reliably under all climatic conditions.
Ease of Operation and Maintenance
The hydraulic mechanism is intuitive to use, and technical maintenance requires minimal time and effort.
System Energy Efficiency
The system consumes minimal electricity, making its operation economically advantageous.
Reducing the Carbon Footprint
The use of underground systems reduces the need for regular waste collection, which lowers carbon dioxide emissions from garbage trucks.
Reducing the Load on Landfills
Thanks to the convenience of the system, waste sorting becomes easier, and recyclable materials are less likely to end up in landfills.
Improving Waste Sorting Levels
Hidden containers encourage users to dispose of waste more responsibly by using separate collection systems.
Main Installation Stages
- Site Preparation: Selecting the installation location, taking into account utilities and soil conditions.
- Earthworks: Excavating the pit and preparing the foundation for system installation.
- System Installation: Installing the pit with the system, placing the containers, and connecting the power supply.
- Testing: Checking the operation of the lifting mechanism, securing the containers, and sealing the structure.
Maintenance and Durability Tips
- Regularly check the hydraulic mechanism for oil leaks.
- Clean the pit from debris to prevent waste accumulation.
- Perform scheduled technical maintenance at least once or twice a year.
Possible Issues and Solutions
- Issue: Difficulty lifting the container.
Solution: Check the pressure in the hydraulic system and add oil if necessary. - Issue: Container damage.
Solution: Replace the damaged container with a new one compatible with the system.
