Skip Lorry Training Course

Posted on by HLTrai.Wordpress

What Is A Skip Lorry?

A skip lorry is a specialised vehicle with a vehicle-mounted skip loader system. This loader system is integrated into the road vehicle and efficiently picks up a waste skip from the rear of the vehicle at ground level. The skip loader places the skip onto the carrying chassis for transport and delivery. The process involves lifting the skip using chains that are connected to a hydraulically operated structure.

Additionally, this system is designed to tip the skip and discharge the contents of the container as needed. The entire mechanism is powered by hydraulics, generated by a pump connected to the vehicle’s engine through a power take-off. This system enables the efficient and safe handling of waste skips for transportation and waste disposal.
