There are 3 different options to choose from when it comes to selecting the right type of tipping skip. Heavy-duty industrial (HDI) tipping skips – Made from 5mm steel for extra durability, ideal for demanding environments. ECO tipping skips – A cost-effective option with a 3mm steel body that remains strong and reliable. Auto-lock tipping skips – Designed for use with a telehandler, these skips lock onto the telehandler forks and tip automatically when the telehandler tilts its forks and is used for improved safety and efficiency. The best choice depends on what you’re using the tipping skip for and the equipment you have available. Our expert team is happy to help – just let us know your requirements.
Safety is key when using a forklift tipping skip. Always follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and ensure proper handling procedures. For step-by-step guidance, watch our tipping skip operating instructions video here. If you need hands-on training, we can arrange a site visit to ensure your team operates the skip safely.
A tipping skip is designed to safely store, transport, and empty waste materials. It features a self-tipping mechanism that allows operators (usually using a forklift truck) to tilt and empty the contents with minimal manual effort. Once full, the skip is lifted using forklift forks, and a simple lever or automatic mechanism releases the catch, tipping the skip forward to discharge the load. After emptying, it returns to its original position, ready for reuse. This system improves efficiency, reduces manual handling, and supports safer waste management on site.
Yes! We offer a wide range of customisation options to ensure your tipping skip meets your exact needs. Options include: Different skip sizes, Castor wheels for mobility, Lids & Covers, and other accessories. Explore our full range of tipping skip accessories here.
The right tipping skip depends on your space and load needs:
0.50–0.75 yard: Best for tight spaces or small/light loads.
1.0–1.5 yard: Great all-rounders for general waste.
2.0–3.0 yard: Ideal for bulky, heavy-duty use and large volumes.

Yes! Our tipping skips are designed for single-person operation. Features like castor wheels allow for easy movement around your site, while smooth tipping mechanisms ensure simple loading and unloading. For safety, always follow our official operating instructions, which you can find here.
Lead times vary depending on order size and complexity. For standard tipping skips orders these are typically delivered within 2 weeks for off-the-shelf models or smaller orders.
