Forklift Self Tipping Skip (DTS)

The Manual Forklift Self-Tipping Skip (DTS) is manufactured in the UK and is also known as a Forklift Tipping Bin. Easily mounted onto a standard forklift, it is available in five popular sizes. Built to a high specification and "built to last," this skip is ideal for use on modern building sites, construction sites, factory environments, or farmyards. With extra reinforcement around the bucket rim and fork pockets as a standard feature, it stands out as one of the most robust skips on the market. It’s a practical solution for storing and transporting materials or waste, helping keep work areas clear and organized. Designed with clever tweaks to support and strengthen key stress points, it offers added durability compared to similar models.

The DTS Forklift Self-Tipping Skips, supplied by Ultimate Lifting Solutions, come in a variety of standard colors including Blue, Green, Brown, Yellow, and Grey (others are available on request). All skips come equipped with a restraint chain as standard.

What is the Difference Between Tipping Skips Supplied by Ultimate Lifting Solutions Ltd?

The primary difference between tipping skips lies in the material they are constructed from. Our standard forklift tipping skips are manufactured in the UK using 3mm quality steel plate, while our heavy-duty tipping skips are made with a thicker, 5mm steel plate. The advantage of the standard DTS tipping skip is its lighter weight, which makes it easier to maneuver around factories and worksites, and more suitable for smaller forklifts. In contrast, the HDI (Heavy Duty Industrial) tipping skip, with its heavier gauge steel plate, is more durable and well-suited for construction sites with larger waste materials.

What Are the Design Differences Between the Standard and Heavy-Duty Tipping Skip?

The DTS forklift tipping skip is built with a folded back lip around the bucket area. This double-folded lip adds strength to the skip, allowing it to maintain its shape longer, making it ideal for building and construction sites, as well as factories handling waste products like steel, rubble, bricks, roof slates, insulation materials, wood, and plasterboard. Meanwhile, the HDI heavy-duty industrial tipping skip has a thicker body material and is made with a simpler folded edge. This design provides the necessary strength and durability for the demanding conditions on construction sites.
