An auto release tipping skip empties from the driver's seat. Lift it over your main skip, container or waste bay and tip it without leaving the cab, even at height, with no ropes to pull and nothing to climb. It suits sites that empty skips many times a day or tip into high-sided containers.
The body is 3mm steel on a heavy-duty underframe, with twin locking mechanisms that keep it locked even when it's loaded unevenly. Castors come as standard, so you can wheel it into place when it's empty. A safety security chain stops it slipping off the forks, and the tipping handle is bolted on so it can be replaced without welding. It's made in the UK in five sizes from 400 to 2000 litres.

Before You Order
Choose by weight as well as volume, because dense waste reaches the load capacity before the skip is full. Your forklift carries the skip as well: a full 1200 litre skip at its 1250kg limit weighs about 1446kg in total. Fitting a skip moves the load centre forward, which reduces your forklift's rated capacity, so check the truck's capacity with the skip fitted. Our tipping skip capacity guide and measuring guide take you through it.
Delivery is usually 7 to 10 working days. Not sure it suits your forklift? Send us your forklift details and we'll check before you order.
Auto Release or Roll Forward?
If you only empty a skip now and then, the roll forward tipping skip costs less and tips with a release handle. For scrap metal and rubble, the 5mm heavy duty tipping skip is built for tougher waste. Our guide comparing auto release and roll forward tipping skips explains the difference, or compare all our forklift tipping skips.
Auto Release Tipping Skip FAQs
How does the auto release work?
Once the skip is in position, it tips from the driver's seat, so the operator doesn't have to leave the cab, pull a rope or climb up to release it, even when tipping at height.
Are castors included?
Yes. Castors come as standard, so the empty skip is easy to wheel into place.
How much can it carry?
1000kg in the 400 and 800 litre sizes, 1250kg in the 1200 litre size and 1500kg in the 1600 and 2000 litre sizes.
Will it fit my forklift?
It takes forks up to 150 x 60mm at an 890mm spread. Send us your forklift model and fork sizes if you're unsure.
