Bottom Empty Skip

The Bottom Empty Skip allows the simple but effective disposal of light to medium weight waste when being automatically emptied into high sided yard skips via the base release mechanism, without the driver leaving the safety of his seat.

OPERATION

• Position the forks the correct distance apart to locate into fork pockets.
• Remove fork pocket heel pins from skip.
• Drive forks into the fork pockets.
• Insert fork pocket heel pins directly behind the heel of the fork.
• Attach safety lynch pin into the hole provided.
• Take the bottom empty skip to the yard skip and position the actuator plates (on the rear of the skip base) over the side of the yard skip.
• With the mast vertical, lower the actuator plates onto the side of the yard skip and to activate the release hooks.
• Lift the carriage of the forklift truck so the drop bottom door clears the side of the yard skip.
• Reverse clear.
• Lower the skip to the ground to automatically re-latch the drop bottom door – some forward tilt may be required dependent on site conditions.
  9. The skip is now ready for use again.
