The SDCP55 is a 55-litre stainless steel pedal bin built for hands-free waste disposal in commercial kitchens, food prep zones, and hospital catering operations. Foot pedal operation keeps hands clean during service. Two castor wheels allow repositioning during cleaning or workflow changes.
Commercial Application
Pedal bins eliminate direct hand contact with waste receptacles during food prep and plating. Staff discard packaging, trimmings, and disposables without interrupting workflow or compromising hand hygiene. The 55-litre capacity suits prep stations, dishwash zones, and butchery areas where waste accumulates quickly.
During service, the bin stays in place or moves to wherever waste volume peaks. The fitted lid contains odours and prevents pest access. Kitchen porters empty and sanitise the unit between shifts without dismantling components.
Key Operational Advantages
- 55-litre capacity handles prep waste from 3-4 hour service periods

Construction & Build Quality
Body and lid are pressed from 304-grade stainless steel with welded seams. The pedal mechanism uses a steel linkage connecting footplate to lid hinge. Castor wheels mount to a reinforced base plate that distributes load across the bin floor.
- 304 stainless steel body and lid resist daily chemical cleaning agents
- Welded seams prevent liquid seepage and bacterial harbourage
- Steel pedal linkage withstands 50+ cycles per shift without deformation
- Reinforced base plate prevents floor puncture under full load

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this 304 or 430 grade stainless steel?
A: The SDCP55 body and lid are 304-grade stainless steel. This grade offers superior corrosion resistance in wet environments and resists acidic waste liquids common in food prep areas.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity before castor failure?
A: Each castor is rated to 30 kg static load. The bin itself weighs 6.2 kg, leaving 53.8 kg capacity for waste before reaching the castor load limit. Typical food waste density keeps working load well below this threshold.
Q: Can the pedal mechanism be replaced without specialist tools?
A: Yes. The pedal assembly detaches using a 10 mm spanner to remove two bolts at the hinge point and one bolt at the footplate. Replacement units come pre-assembled and install in under five minutes.
Q: Does the lid seal completely to contain liquid spills?
A: The lid closes flush against the rim but is not hermetically sealed. It contains odours and prevents pest access during normal use. Liquid waste should be drained before disposal to prevent leakage during transport to the main waste collection point.
Q: Are replacement wheels available in non-marking rubber?
A: Standard castors are grey thermoplastic. Non-marking rubber castor wheels are available as a direct replacement and fit the existing mounting holes. Lead time is 7-10 days for non-marking variants.
