Invicta Low Level Skip

Model ILUS | Low Loading Height | 4-Way Fork Entry | Manual or Auto Tipping | UK Manufactured

The Invicta Low Level Skip (Model ILUS) can be easily positioned at the end of a conveyor, dross shoot or manufacturing line to collect bi-products that are below waist level. The skip is supplied as manual operation as standard, but automatic tipping at high level can be achieved by ordering the conversion kit, allowing the forklift or telehandler driver to empty the skip without leaving the safety of his seat. The 4-way fork pocket entry and reinforced leading edge make this skip ideal for confined production areas. Available in 0.7m³ and 1.0m³ capacities. Manufactured in Leeds by Invicta Forks & Attachments.
