At AJ Products UK, our tipper skips are built for daily use: thick, fully-welded steel bodies with a durable powder-coated finish, sized in multiple capacities and designed to withstand heavy forklift handling. Options include auto self tipping skips for hands-off emptying, bottom-emptying models that discharge in one smooth motion, and mobile tipping skips for manual moves between bays. With colour variants to support at-source sorting and lid choices to contain contents, you get a cleaner, quicker route from workstation to collection — practical, long-lasting tipping skips for sale that keep work moving.
Our range of tipping skips trigger on contact: when the front engages a larger skip, the pressure plate activates the tip and empties the load without extra levers. The mechanism is simple, predictable and quick — ideal for metal, gravel, cement, timber offcuts and general refuse on busy shifts. For better segregation and tidier floors, set up capture at the point of use with modular sorting points so material arrives in the right skip first time. Lid options (including high-lid variants with small loading doors and a large emptying hatch) help retain contents and control debris where wind or hygiene is a concern.
Frequent lifts are hard on equipment, so construction matters. Our forklift tipping skips use fully-welded sheet steel with a tough coating to resist knocks, and fork pockets for secure, repeatable handling. Where rapid discharge is the priority, bottom-emptying skips open the entire base to release contents in one smooth operation, then re-close automatically — a clear time-saver for heavier streams. Many models can be stacked when empty to save space in tight yards. To keep the final leg efficient, stage robust external containers on the route to collection so the hand-off is obvious and quick using weather-ready waste containers.
Not every move needs a forklift. Mobile tipping skips combine reinforced edges with easy-steer castors (two fixed at the front and a rear swivel) so one person can relocate bulk materials — soil, feed, scrap and mixed waste — without extra lifts. They’re equally at home supporting changeovers, clearing packing lines or feeding a central compactor. If glass is part of your waste stream, keep runs clean by collecting it separately in purpose-built handlers positioned near service points with bottle skips for faster glass transfers. With capacities matched to your peak load and routes planned to avoid thresholds, mobile models keep pace with the work — and park neatly between jobs thanks to tapered designs that nest for compact storage.
