What's included
Compact stackable storage for the shop floor
Dolavs are smaller, stackable, moulded plastic storage units, widely used in the printing industry alongside a forklift truck for loading and unloading.
Compact and stackable
Compact and stackable when full, so they fit tight production areas and store neatly when empty.
Built for the printing industry
Widely used by printers and print finishers to collect offcuts, trims and make-ready at the machine before it goes to a baler or bulk container.
Forklift handling
Designed to be moved and tipped with a forklift, so full units go from the production line to a baler, compactor or collection vehicle without manual handling.
Part of a loose-material setup
We supply dolavs alongside wheelie bins, flat-pack pallet boxes and stillages for sites collecting loose paper before it's baled or bulked.
Keeps grades separate
One dolav per grade keeps material clean and worth more when it reaches our depot.
For lower volumes
Dolavs suit sites producing steady but modest volumes — enough to need a dedicated container at the machine, but not enough to justify an open-top container or compactor.
How it works
From enquiry to dolavs on site
Tell us your setup
The material, how many collection points on the shop floor, and your forklift access.
We confirm quantity
How many units and where, with a quote the same working day.
Delivery
Dolavs are delivered ready to use.
Collections begin
Full units are tipped into a baler or container, or collected and swapped, as part of your Pulp Friction service.
What to expect
We aim to reply to equipment enquiries the same working day. Dolavs suit printing and print-finishing sites that need a compact container at each machine and have a forklift to move them. They're supplied as part of a collection contract, alongside wheelie bins, pallet boxes and stillages where a mix works best.
FAQ
Common questions
What are Dolavs used for?
Collecting loose paper, offcuts and trims at the machine on printing and print-finishing shop floors, before the material goes to a baler or a larger container.
How are they moved?
By forklift — they're designed to be lifted and tipped, so full units go from the production line to a baler, compactor or vehicle without manual handling.
Do they stack?
Yes, which is the main advantage in a tight production area — full or empty, they stack rather than spreading across the floor.
What else do you supply them with?
Usually alongside wheelie bins, flat-pack pallet boxes and stillages, so every point on the shop floor has the right container.
