How does a Drop Bottom Skip work? Fitted with two reinforced fork pockets on the top of the bin the Drop Bottom Skip suits most common fork trucks, making lifting the bin an easy task. The drop-bottom skip is fitted with an automatic release flap that once activated will release the floor locking hook and the base or bottom of the skip will fall open. To close and lock the base again, simply lower the whole skip to the floor and the base will close again and re-engage onto the floor locking hook.
How to use the Drop Bottom Skip? To release the waste from the skip simply lift the skip over the top of the waste lorry or waste skip container. lower down carefully and the automatic release catch will become in contact with the side wall of the larger skip. This will release the retaining hook that locks the base. start to lift the forklift and the drop bottom skip and now the bottom floor will hinge open which in turn allows the waste products to fall out. Once fully emptied, closing the base is a simple task. re-position the now empty bin away from the waste lorry and lower it to the floor, the base will slide shut once in contact with the floor and once fully shut will relock and become securely shut and ready to be returned to the waste filling station
