Skips

Choosing by material

Concrete skips are built for wet pours and discharge in a controlled way — lay-down and rollover types suit low headroom, conical skips suit column pours. Waste and muck skips are open topped for general clearance and tip rather than pour.

Crane or forklift

Crane-lifted skips have certified lifting points and documentation to match. Fork-mounted skips have pockets and a retaining chain and are not intended for crane use. The two are not interchangeable — check what the skip is rated for before planning the lift.

Weight, not volume

Wet concrete is heavy, and a skip that fits the volume may still exceed what the crane can handle at the working radius. Check the loaded weight against the crane chart rather than sizing on capacity alone.

Common questions
What is the difference between a tipping skip and a concrete skip?

A tipping skip is open topped and empties by tipping, suiting general waste and muck. A concrete skip has a controlled gate or chute for placing wet concrete.

Can a forklift skip be lifted by crane?

Not unless it is specifically rated and certified for overhead lifting. Fork pockets are not certified lifting points.

How do I size a concrete skip?

Work from the loaded weight rather than the volume, and check it against the crane chart at the radius you will be working. Volume is rarely the limiting factor.

What types of Skips are available?

The range covers Waste Skips and Concrete Skips.
