ENNo more trips to a half-full container.
At commercial customers, transfer containers are often on a fixed rhythm – and emptied whether full or not. The PhilRay fill-level sensor reports when it is really needed. You only drive there when it pays.
Where transfer containers cost money
Empty trips
A fixed rhythm means the truck arrives and the container is half empty. Trip, time and crew are paid for anyway.
Extra collections on request
When a container overflows, the customer calls – and an extra trip upsets the round.
Unhappy customers
Full containers on site reflect on the disposal company, even if the rhythm was agreed.
Pricing in the dark
Without readings you do not know which customer really needs which rhythm and which size.
Installed in minutes
On the 4.5 m³ transfer container with two lids, installation is especially simple: the sensor sits at the back under the sheet-metal roof and measures down into the container. No drilling into the tub, no cable, no conversion.
- Sensor under the roof, protected from weather and waste
- Collection is detected automatically
- Retrofit at the next collection
Where the sensor sits
Lids, opening and collection stay as they are. The sensor hangs in the sheltered area under the roof and looks down onto the material.
Transfer container 4.5 m³
Two lids at the front, sheet-metal roof at the back – that is where the sensor goes.
Sensor under the roof
Screwed to the underside of the roof with its bracket, looking straight down.
Transfer container 2.5 m³
No roof: the sensor sits at the top of the back wall below the lids and looks into the container at an angle.
For the common transfer containers
Not tied to a manufacturer: tell us which containers stand at your customers – we will tell you in advance where the sensor goes.
Transfer container 4.5 m³
Sensor at the back under the roof. The simplest installation of all.
Transfer container 2.5 m³
Sensor at the top of the back wall below the lids, aimed into the container at an angle.
Your customer is in the loop
When a container reaches the threshold you set, the platform automatically sends a message by email, SMS or push – to your dispatch and, if you like, straight to the commercial customer. With their own access they see their containers themselves. The round only visits customers whose containers are full.

Frequently asked questions
Which containers can be fitted?
2.5 and 4.5 m³ transfer containers, regardless of manufacturer. The 4.5 is the simplest: the sensor sits under the roof. Tell us your containers – we will check in advance.
Are we notified when a container is nearly full?
Yes. As soon as a container reaches the threshold you set, the platform automatically sends a message by email, SMS or push – to your dispatch and, if you like, straight to the customer.
Can our customers see it too?
Yes. You set up access for your customers. They then see their containers with fill levels and collections and receive their messages themselves.
Does the sensor detect the collection?
Yes. An acceleration sensor detects the tipping; the platform records the collection with the fill level before and after. That also gives you proof for the customer.
How long does the battery last?
The batteries are designed for 5 years and can be replaced. A low charge level is reported.
Your transfer containers – where should we start?
Tell us your container sizes and the number of commercial customers – we will show you fill levels, messages and rounds live.
