Waste is unavoidable in most businesses but, without a plan for its removal with the right equipment, clearing it can be a time-consuming chore that causes more problems than solutions. Fast-paced environments, such as warehouses, production lines and industrial plants, rely on highly orchestrated and organised work practices, so waste removal must support and boost productivity rather than hindering it.
Tipping skips allow for the safe storage of waste scraps, including metal, plastics, cardboard and food, until a convenient time when they can be easily manoeuvred, on wheels or by forklift, and emptied into larger containers for collection – a safe and efficient waste removal system that keeps the workplace clean and safe, and enables employees to carry out their duties productively.
Types of Tipping Skip
At Steps and Stillages, we stock an extensive range of tipping skips in different sizes and materials, making them suitable for most workplaces. For bulky or dense waste, we can also produce heavy duty tipping skips featuring a 5mm thick wall, with a competitive lead time of only two weeks. Irrespective of their size, our tipping skips are available in the following designs:
Static skips: these skips have a solid base so they can be easily manoeuvred with a forklift or pallet truck for quick, effortless movement around your business premises.
Skips with wheels: these skips can be manoeuvred easily without the need for additional equipment, which is particularly useful in workplaces with restricted space.
Because of their superb manoeuvrability, wheeled skips are often the preferred choice as a forklift isn’t required, so removing waste is quick and uncomplicated. However, if your workplace has rough or uneven terrain, a static skip may be a more suitable option.
The Benefits of our Tipping Skips
If you invest in a tipping skip, you can be confident that it won’t become a white elephant in your workplace, but will support your business’s productivity while helping you to achieve your obligations to dispose of waste in an environmentally friendly way.
Tipping skips offer many benefits:
- Manufactured to a high standard that meets CE certification, our tipping skips are robust, durable and sturdy, with wheels that can support the weight of the loaded container that won’t break, work loose or cause the skip to wander aimlessly when moved.
- With a sturdy safety clip and chain, tipping skips will never roll away by themselves, eliminating the risk of a serious accident. An easy to use safety catch system enables the skip to be tipped safely, protecting the welfare of operatives.
- If you have heavy waste to shift, tipping skips are more than capable of handling the weight, with a capacity of 800kg. Integrated pockets allow forklifts to lift and shift the skips with ease, meaning the heaviest waste material can be quickly removed.
- Available in a range of sizes, tipping skips are suited for a variety of applications, with a powder coating that is not only economical and durable, but also resists chips, scratches and fading. With a watertight seal, you can be confident that leakages won’t occur when the skips are moved.
- Tipping skips are also available in a variety of colours – perfect for ensuring waste isn’t accidentally mixed up!
