A South Australian teenage boy has died after an industrial bin he was sleeping in was emptied.

Three boys, aged 11, 12 and 13, were asleep in the bin in Port Lincoln early on Tuesday when it was emptied, SA police say.

One of the boys jumped clear and another was not injured.

The 13-year-old sustained serious injuries and died at the scene.

It is understood the truck driver was not aware the boys were in the bin and is extremely shaken by the incident.

Safe Work SA have been advised.

Police are preparing a report for the coroner.
