In the meantime, follow the step-by-step guide.

  1. 01

    Check brakes and tires

    Before loading, check brakes, tire pressure and that the skip tips freely.

  2. 02

    Load centered, no overfill

    Center the weight in the skip and stay within rated capacity. Overloading makes it unstable.

  3. 03

    Travel at walking speed

    On uneven ground, slow. Climb forward and descend in reverse on steep grades with a load.

  4. 04

    Dump on firm ground

    Brake, confirm stable ground, then tip the skip. Mind the edge of slopes and trenches.

Do this

  • Descend loaded slopes in reverse and slow.
  • Keep the dump zone clear of people.
  • Respect the skip's rated capacity.

Avoid this

  • Don't carry people in the skip.
  • Don't dump with a wheel over a slope edge.
  • Don't turn with the skip raised.

Safety

  • Hard hat, boots, hi-vis vest and gloves.
  • Watch blind spots when reversing.
  • Brake on when loading and parking.
