HERMEQ’s low height and automatic tipping skip transforms waste handling in compact or low-clearance work environments. Designed for placement beneath conveyor lines, manufacturing equipment, or dross outlets, its low-profile frame makes collection at floor or waist level efficient and safe. The automatic tipping feature allows for elevated discharge without requiring the operator to leave the forklift, drastically reducing handling time and injury risk.
Built in the UK using reinforced steel, this tipping skip is made for daily industrial use. It integrates with forklifts via a 4-way pocket system and includes secondary locking to prevent accidental tipping during transit. When used with compatible machinery, the skip tips automatically. A manual override handle is also included for versatile site use, giving operators greater control when conditions demand it.
- Low-height access: Fits easily under conveyors or within restricted work areas to collect waste at the point of production.
- Automated tipping: Integrated mechanism allows high-level tipping without manual latch release.
- Industrial-grade strength: Fully seam-welded and reinforced to handle repeated waste loads including liquids and heavy debris.
- Secure integration: Zinc-coated screw locks and compatibility with 150x60mm forks at 683mm spacing ensure tight fork grip.
- Built-in manual override: Gives flexibility to switch between automatic and manual tipping functions as required.
This forklift tipping skip is especially useful in sectors such as food processing, engineering, and metal fabrication—where workspace is tight and cleanliness is critical. Its low profile helps prevent waste build-up beneath lines, while the self-tipping feature reduces repetitive manual tasks.
The robust build includes reinforced leading edges and seam-welded joints to retain fluids. Its secondary locking prevents unintended discharge during movement, and all parts are corrosion-resistant for long life. Forklift skip users benefit from ease of loading and safe, consistent tipping action at various heights.
Whether you're streamlining internal logistics or trying to automate waste removal, this tipping skip combines space-saving design with premium safety features. Manual or automated, it meets the needs of fast-paced work environments.
HERMEQ stocks a wide range of Tipping Skips, Waste Skips, Telehandler Attachments & Handling & Lifting equipment conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

This low height tipping skip is purpose-built for facilities that need waste management at production line level. With a 700–1000 litre capacity range and reinforced construction, it’s ideal for applications involving light to medium waste loads generated by conveyor belts or compact machinery setups.
The skip is manufactured in the UK from fully seam-welded steel, allowing it to retain fluids and withstand frequent use. The reinforced edge profile increases structural longevity, while the 4-way forklift pocket entry allows for versatile handling regardless of fork orientation. A secondary lock prevents accidental release during transit.
Thanks to its compact frame and automatic tipping action, the skip is often deployed in space-limited zones such as beneath dross shoots or at the end of automated lines. This feature reduces manual strain, supports lean operations, and boosts efficiency in material handling systems. The zinc-coated fixing screws offer rust resistance, even in moisture-prone areas.
The dual-operation flexibility—automatic or manual tipping—makes it a practical choice across multiple shift patterns and site configurations. It’s particularly useful for clients prioritising productivity, safety and efficient waste collection in process-led environments like manufacturing, food production, metalworking or packaging.
Can this tipping skip be used with all forklifts?
Yes, it fits standard forklifts with forks up to 150x60mm and spacing of 683mm. The zinc-coated screws provide secure mounting.
What makes this a “low height” tipping skip?
