Posted 9/16/2024

On bustling construction sites and in around-the-clock manufacturing facilities/plants/mills, and distribution centers, toughness isn’t a virtue—it’s ingrained in every aspect of daily life.

In support of the tough and hard-working people who work in these manufacturing and industrial settings, Rubbermaid Commercial Products created the BRUTE Refuse and Material Handling products to help get the job done. BRUTE knows these workers need products that can endure the toughest of conditions and these product lines do just that.

BRUTE’s Utility Refuse Products

Known for their extreme durability, Rubbermaid BRUTE trash cans are designed to simplify commercial waste management and boost workplace productivity.

Available in a variety of sizes up to 55 gallons, the Vented BRUTE Container has innovative venting channels that make lifting out liners up to 50% easier, improving productivity and reducing the risk of injury. The proprietary design is constructed with the highest quality materials—plus a UV inhibitor—ensuring long life in even the most extreme commercial environments.

Dragging containers across job sites can cause user strain and can lead to injuries. With safety in mind, Wheeled BRUTE Containers allow you to move loads up to 5X easier*, even over rough terrains to improve productivity. Tested for durability, the Wheeled BRUTE is designed with the same toughness as the traditional BRUTE for superior performance.

Rubbermaid BRUTE’s Material Handling Products

The Material Handling solutions enhance productivity and improve safety in virtually any commercial facility. Designed specifically for the material handling professional, these products deliver superior ergonomics, organization, reliability and maneuverability for turning any job into a more efficient one.

One example is the BRUTE Heavy Duty Medium 3-Shelf Utility Cart, a durable versatile cart that is ideal for transporting materials, supplies, and heavy loads up to 600 pounds. This cart provides 50% more storage capacity** to help move more materials efficiently throughout a facility. To top it off, the lipped shelves prevent items from falling off the cart and feature an integrated V-notch to securely hold pipe and conduit for safe cutting. The cart also features 12″ clearance between each shelf to optimize use of additional storage capacity.

The toughness of the Rubbermaid BRUTE products is on full display in the brand’s latest campaign, where each scrape, clang, and impact are highlighted as a badge of honor. With an industry-leading 10-year warranty, BRUTE’s Refuse and Material Handling products are guaranteed to never fade, warp, crack, rust, peel, or dent.

Engineered Building Maintenance

A team of technical experts will make a thorough review of the building and its operating history. Led by a professional engineer or architect, they will review the original construction plans and specifications, if they are available. Then they will develop a specific reoccurring maintenance program, as well as a cost estimate, for each of the building's systems and load it on their computers.

Achieving "Near Zero" Refrigerant Emissions in HVAC Systems

Chillers and their refrigerants require ongoing preventative maintenance. Preventing refrigerant from leaving, preventing air from entering, and preserving refrigerant quality are all a part of chiller maintenance. By maintaining your chillers and by preventing chiller leaks you will also keep your operating costs down.

HVAC Attack - How to Select the Right HVAC Filter for the Job

Good indoor air quality (IAQ) depends on a number of factors, including effective filtration, which provides the primary defense for building occupants and HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning) equipment against particular pollutants. Today's higher standards in filtration, coupled with rigorous attention paid to HVAC filter selection, helps to produce cleaner, purer air and reduce IAQ-related problems.

How Building Managers Can Save On Energy Purchasing Through Changing Paradigms

Facility managers need to ask themselves – What are the new energy paradigms that we must acknowledge, and what past practices are no longer smart or relevant? How can volatility be mitigated, and what strategies can be used to ensure it is not a major driver in rising operating costs?

What Is Facilities Management? Challenges, Solutions, & More

Maintenance isn’t exciting. For many, it’s a chore, something they’ll rather skip. Poor facility maintenance often marks the start of a downward spiral–a slippery slope you must avoid. But how? Enter facilities management: your ally in connecting people, processes, and systems.

How a Platform Approach Can Transform Your Building Operations

The perfect solution for the problems with present-day CMMS is a platform approach. A CMMS built using a platform approach works like a quiver full of business capabilities, integrated to form a valuable whole. It works as follows.

Managing Today's Castles with InMapz

If you are managing a large facility using blueprint floor plans and spreadsheets to track assets, this article is for you. If, the last time you had a water leak during off hours and it took the emergency repair tech a half hour to get to it after wading thru paper maps, this is for you. If your HVAC repair technician got lost on the roof while looking for unit #34 that required maintenance, this might be useful.
