Self-Tipping Skips

Skips are containers that are lifted with a crane or forklift and emptied at a precise point, using a lever or an opening in the bottom. They are used to move concrete, loose materials and scrap safely, without going through a wheelbarrow or a sack, and to discharge them where they are needed.

What you will find in this collection

• Concrete skips, conical and cradle-type, with centre or side discharge
• Self-tipping and tilting skips for cranes
• Scrap skips, including mesh ones, and tipping skips for forklifts
• Tremie hoppers for pouring concrete
• Accessories and spare parts, such as hydraulic shock absorbers

The brands included are Comi Storage, Butti, Unimec, Officine Polieri, Tekcnoplast and Sall.

How to choose the right skip

What matters is the capacity and the volume, which must be below the capacity of the lifting equipment, and the type of material: concrete requires a skip with bottom-controlled discharge, while scrap and aggregates call for a tipping or mesh skip. Also check the attachment, for cranes or for forklift forks.
