Roll-Off Container Parts

What this page covers

PRT stocks replacement parts for the container side of a roll-off system — the open-top steel box that gets dropped on the ground, loaded with debris, and picked back up by the truck. This is different from the truck side (hoist, cable, hooks, cylinders), which lives on our Roll-Off Truck Parts page.

Roll-off containers take more abuse than almost any other container in the waste industry. They get dragged across pavement, loaded with heavy and sharp debris, and slammed shut by collection-truck arms. The wear is predictable: rollers wear out under container loads, tailgate hinges break apart, latches bend or shear and covers take damage from weather and use.

How to choose the right roll-off container part

Since the roll off container industry is fairly standardized, PRT offers universal roll-off container parts that will fit any size (10, 20, 30, or 40 yard), or style (open-top, sludge box, sealed, compactor receiver). With this knowledge we can match the right replacement based on good photos of the part. We identify most container parts on first look and confirm fitment before you order.

Common roll-off container parts by failure rate

• RollersThe nose roller wheels that ride on the truck's rails, wear from container load and constant loading and unloading the container.
• Tailgate hinges and pinsHigh wear; replace when the pin or plates start getting worn from opening and closing the tailgate or container door.
• Door seals and gasketsDegrade from sharp debris and acidic garbage waste over time on sealed containers and compactor receivers.
• Cable connection pointsThe front pull-cable mount deforms the hooks and knuckles under repeated load.
