Invicta Fork Mounted Skip Compactor

Model ISC | Ballast Filled | Height Adjustable | Reduces Skip Collections | UK Manufactured

The Invicta Fork Mounted Skip Compactor (Model ISC) is designed to achieve optimum yard skip capacity. Waste is usually deposited into yard skips and taken away once full — however, in most cases the skip is 30–45 percent full of fresh air. The Skip Compactor, filled with ballast (a mixture of 10mm pebbles and crushed sandstone), significantly reduces this air gap and subsequently reduces the number of collections required and the money spent doing so. Height adjustable to suit skips up to 8 feet deep. Available in 1000kg and 2000kg versions. Manufactured in Leeds by Invicta Forks & Attachments.
