55-Gal. Expanded Metal Trash Receptacle

55-Gal. Expanded Metal Trash Receptacle This is one of our most useful and attractive trash receptacles available today. The trash receptacle is made out of 3/4” expanded metal with an all MIG welded frame. It is thermoplastic coated for added strength and durability. Expanded metal is a form of metal stock that is made by shearing a metal plate in a press, so that the metal stretches, leaving diamond-shaped voids surrounded by interlinked bars of the metal. Thermoplastic coating is a new coating process that melts to form a fusion bonded coating, and then cools to produce superior physical properties when compared to traditional powder coating. The lid and can liner are sold separately.
