Maintenance & Servicing – Crane and Forklift Tipping Skip FLTS 2013C

To keep the Eichinger Crane and Forklift Tipping Skip FLTS 2013C performing safely and reliably on site, we recommend a regular maintenance routine. After each use, ensure the skip is thoroughly cleaned, especially around the tipping hinge, heel pins, fork pockets, and release catch, to prevent a build-up of debris that may obstruct operation.

Visual inspections should be carried out periodically to check for signs of damage, corrosion, or wear to the skip body, safety catch mechanism, crane lifting lugs, and weld seams. Ensure the fixed heel pins remain securely fastened and undamaged.

All moving parts, including the teardrop safety catch, should be kept well-lubricated for smooth tipping action. In line with PUWER regulations, the skip should be routinely inspected by a competent person to confirm that it remains compliant and safe for lifting use.
