Established in 1997 and based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, we manufacture skips designed to withstand the demands of regular commercial use, providing reliable equipment for waste collection and transportation.
We work with independent skip hire companies, established waste management operators, construction contractors and recycling businesses requiring dependable skips manufactured to practical specifications. Whether you are expanding your existing fleet, replacing older containers or looking for specialist designs, we can help you find the right solution.
Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce a range of standard and bespoke skips, with an emphasis on robust steel construction, reliable lifting arrangements and long-term durability.
Specialist Skip Manufacturing in the UK
As established skip manufacturers, we understand that commercial waste containers must withstand frequent lifting, loading, transportation and unloading. Equipment is regularly exposed to demanding materials and challenging working environments, making construction quality and practical design essential.
We manufacture our skips in-house using established steel fabrication methods, giving us control over welding, reinforcement, construction details and finishing. Our team considers how each skip will be used, including its intended waste stream, lifting equipment and operating conditions.
From everyday waste collection to more demanding industrial applications, we manufacture skips designed to provide reliable performance across a wide range of working environments.
Our Range of Manufactured Skips
Open Chain Lift Skips
Our open chain lift skips are manufactured for skip hire businesses, construction sites, demolition contractors and commercial waste collection. Their accessible design makes them suitable for handling general waste, building materials and a variety of other waste streams.
We manufacture open skips in sizes ranging from 2 to 18 cubic yards, providing options for different collection requirements. Depending on the intended application, skips can incorporate reinforced construction, suitable lifting arrangements, tipping bars and a choice of finishes.
Enclosed Skips
For businesses requiring additional containment, we manufacture enclosed chain lift skips with practical access arrangements. These containers can help protect waste from the weather, restrict unauthorised access and provide greater control over materials during storage and collection.
Our enclosed skips can be manufactured with features including steel or plastic lids, loading hatches and access doors, depending on the size and configuration required.
Heavy Duty Steel Skips
Some waste collection operations require stronger construction to accommodate demanding materials and frequent handling. We manufacture heavy-duty steel skips with reinforced components and construction options suited to more challenging working environments.
By discussing the intended application and handling requirements, we can help customers select an appropriate skip specification for their business.
Bespoke Skip Manufacturing
Alongside our standard designs, we manufacture bespoke skips for customers with specific operational requirements. These may include non-standard dimensions, alternative access arrangements, additional reinforcement or modifications to accommodate particular lifting and handling systems.
Our bespoke manufacturing service allows businesses to specify equipment suited to their existing operations rather than relying solely on standard container configurations.
Manufactured for Skip Hire and Waste Management Businesses
We supply skips to businesses that depend on reliable equipment to maintain their daily operations. Our customers include skip hire operators, waste collection companies, recycling facilities, construction contractors, demolition specialists and industrial organisations.
We understand that skips represent an important investment for these businesses. Poorly suited or damaged equipment can lead to additional maintenance, operational delays and unnecessary replacement costs.
Our approach to manufacturing focuses on producing practical, durable containers that can withstand repeated use while remaining compatible with the handling systems and collection methods used by our customers.
Skip Refurbishment and Modifications
In addition to manufacturing new skips, we offer refurbishment and modification services for existing containers. Depending on their condition and intended use, this can include structural repairs, reinforcement, replacement components and alterations to accommodate changing operational requirements.
Refurbishing suitable existing skips can help businesses extend the working life of their equipment and maintain their fleet without necessarily replacing every container.
