I'd adjust his cage to a bungalow set up rather than move him into a bin cage.
Could you post a photo of the Ritz?
You can attach mats or cardboard to stop the substrate from falling out and lower the shelf or add a freestanding platform to sleep under.
I have also adjusted the set ups of my two elderly Syrians and know that a move into a different cage would have unsettled and upset them a lot.
To make a storage box like the 133l Wham into a hamster cage, you would need to cut out and mesh the lid and a window to ensure sufficient ventilation.
