Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Skip Loaders

What is a skip container used for?
A skip is an open-topped metal container designed to hold heavy refuse like concrete pieces, bricks, dirt, and timber. Once filled at a building site, a skip loader hoists it onto the truck bed to haul it away.
How do the hydraulic arms pick up a heavy container?
Thick steel chains attach to pins on the sides of the container. The operator activates powerful hydraulic rams that pull the chains, lifting the heavy container smoothly over the rear of the truck chassis.
