FAQs – Forklift Self-Tipping Skip (DTS)
What sizes does the DTS Forklift Self-Tipping Skip come in?
The DTS Forklift Self-Tipping Skip is available in five standard capacities: 500 litres, 750 litres, 1250 litres, 1500 litres and 1750 litres. Each model has either a 1400kg or 2000kg safe working load.
Can the DTS tipping skip be used with a telehandler?
Yes, the DTS tipping skip can be used with a telehandler if the fork dimensions are compatible. For dedicated telehandler options, we recommend the Telehandler Auto-Locking Teleskip or Ecoskip ranges.
Does the DTS tipping skip include a safety restraint chain?
The DTS Forklift Self-Tipping Skip is supplied with a heavy-duty safety restraint chain as standard. This helps to prevent accidental disengagement during transport or tipping.
Are castors and lids available for the DTS skip?
The DTS Forklift Self-Tipping Skip can be customised with a wide range of optional extras, including castors for mobility, mesh extensions, canvas covers, and steel lids—perfect for adapting the skip to your specific site needs.
What’s the difference between the DTS skip and a heavy-duty HDI skip?
The DTS Forklift Self-Tipping Skip is built from 3mm plate steel and features a folded back lip around the bucket for added strength while remaining lighter and easier to handle, ideal for general factory use or construction waste like bricks, insulation, and plasterboard.
In contrast, the HDI Heavy-Duty Industrial Skip is made from thicker 5mm steel and has a simpler folded edge, designed to withstand more demanding, heavy-duty construction environments where durability is key.
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.
Is the DTS skip certified for use in the UK?
The DTS Forklift Self-Tipping Skip is manufactured in compliance with Machinery Directive 89/392EEC (as amended 98/37EEC) and meets both harmonised European Standards EN292-1 & EN292-2 and British Standards BS EN ISO 12100-1:2003 & BS EN ISO 12100-2:2003, ensuring safe and legal operation within the UK and EU.
Can I order a bespoke size or colour for the DTS skip?
The DTS Forklift Self-Tipping Skip can be customised in both size and colour to suit your operational needs. Bespoke builds are available, simply contact our team on 01384 986 026 or send us an enquiry.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Regular inspections are essential for the Forklift Self-Tipping Skip to check for wear and damage. Ensure the locking mechanism and restraint chain are in good condition and lubricate all moving parts as required. Get in contact with a member of our sales team for more information regarding the maintenance of your Forklift Self-Tipping Skip (DTS).
