Bottom Empty Skip - Automatic
Frequently Bought Together
Bottom empty skips allow you to dispose of waste into larger bins and skips via the base release mechanism, without the driver leaving the safety of their cab. The design combines a rugged structure with clever ingenuity and safety features, such as the bright orange colour for visibility, lap welded corners and internally reinforced sides, zinc-plated fork pocket heel pins and safety lynch pin, and a hinged lid. The safety of the skip is also elevated with a unique automatic locking and releasing mechanism.
