An introduction to self-tipping skips
Wondering the purpose of self tipping skips? Tipping skips are one of the most frequently used apparatus in the workplace across multiple industries. They are the perfect item to transport materials and waste inside industrial environments. At Direct2u we offer a variety of different tipping skips. Some range from self-tipping skips, to forklift tipping skips and standard skips. A common denominator for the range of tipping skips is that they all have the sole purpose of ensuring workplaces are as tidy as possible. They ensure that clutter, waste and different materials are transported safely to then be emptied.
There is a large range of tipping skips, so, we recommend customers take some time into looking at our auto-lock self-tipping skip range. Advantages include speed on site. This is because the driver does not need to exit the forklift as the skip automatically locks into place. Therefore, making it more time and energy efficient for the employee. In addition, when customers choose to purchase an auto-locking tipping-skip, they can be sure that they can stick to their budget. This is because self-tipping skips are very economical.
When searching for skips, many businesses may offer a hiring scheme. However, what many customers may not understand is how much there is to consider when hiring a tipping skip over purchasing.
Do you want to hire or purchase your self-tipping skips?
At Direct2u we only give customers the option to buy. This is because we have set our prices at an affordable rate. Therefore, customers would benefit from the purchase in the long run. Another key point to consider is how often you will be using the skip. If the tipping-skip needs to be used frequently, buying would be the smartest way to go. We have a wide range of high quality tipping-skips that are suitable in a variety of different working environments. Some are made in the UK to the highest standards whereas others are available with next day delivery.
Why choose a Self-tipping Skip over a Standard Tipping Skip?
When it comes to managing waste in industries, it is important to use the most efficient method of disposing of waste. This will then increase productivity in the workplace and therefore bring time-saving benefits. So, if companies need their waste management sorted as soon as possible, self-tipping skips are the best way to go. The auto-locking mechanism will reduce time for the forklift driver. Also, reduce the effort made during the process.
How often should a tipping skip be inspected?
Tipping skip inspections and testing’s are highly recommended. On average, we advise customers to get their tipping skips thoroughly examined every 6 months. Of course, this is an extra precaution to take and is not completely necessary. However, if customers are using their skip on a daily basis, it is likely that the tipping skip may become unsafe. Having an unsafe tipping skip could then lead to danger in the workplace, and in turn, creating higher costs and lower productivity to the industry.
Important note! Out TUFF range of tipping skips are all CE Marked for quality standard.
