ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip – Auto-Locking Construction Skip

The ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip is designed for fast, safe, and efficient waste handling on construction sites, farms, and industrial settings. With a 1,250-litre capacity and a 2,000 kg safe working load, it’s one of the most popular choices for operatives seeking productivity and safety without compromise.


Built in the UK using 2.3mm thick steel for durability, this skip features an automatic heel pin locking system that connects securely to standard telehandler forks, no chains, no manual locking. The operator can stay safely in the cab from pick-up to emptying, dramatically reducing risk on-site.


Whether you're clearing rubble on a housing project or handling scrap materials in an industrial yard, the ETS skip offers all the benefits of a traditional tipping skip, without the drawbacks of manual release systems.


Why Choose the ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip?

- Fully Automatic Locking: This telehandler skip auto-locks when raised and releases on lowering, meaning that there is no manual intervention needed.

- Quick and Safe Operation: Stay in the cab for the entire operation, making this ideal for high-volume, high-risk sites.

- Built for Telehandlers: The ETS skip is specifically designed for telehandler forks, offering better balance and stability during tipping.

- Lightweight yet Robust: Despite the lighter build, it's just as robust and durable as heavy-duty models

- Cost-Effective Performance: The skip’s lower manufacturing weight helps keep pricing competitive for site managers and hire fleets alike.


Designed for Safe and Fast Handling

The ETS Eco Self-Locking Telehandler Skip has been developed with operator safety and efficiency in mind. Its standout feature is the auto-locking mechanism, which secures the skip to the telehandler forks as soon as they’re engaged, with no need for the operator to exit the cab. This hands-free operation reduces manual handling, streamlines tipping tasks, and helps maintain safe distancing on-site.

By removing the need for restraint chains or additional locking equipment, the telehandler skip simplifies lifting and emptying procedures. This makes it ideal for fast-paced work environments where safety and speed go hand-in-hand.

Built to Last – Robust UK Manufacturing

Manufactured in the UK using 2.3mm thick steel for both the body and supporting structure, the ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip is built for longevity. From the reinforced fork sleeves to the heavy-duty triangulated top edge, every component is engineered for structural strength and repeated use in challenging conditions.

Despite being lighter than some heavy-duty models, the ETS Telehandler Skip sacrifices nothing in durability. Whether it’s transporting bricks, rubble, general waste or bulk materials, the skip can withstand the daily demands of construction sites, yards, and agricultural settings.

Auto-Locking System – No Chains, No Fuss

The key advantage of the ETS skip lies in its clever auto-lock system. As the telehandler forks are inserted, the locking pins engage behind the heels. Once lifted, the skip locks itself securely in place, removing the need for chains, pins, or secondary fastenings.

When the operator lowers the skip to the ground, the mechanism disengages automatically; no manual release is needed. This reduces site risks, improves workflow, and allows a single operator to lift, move and tip the skip safely from within the cab.

Ideal for Construction, Agriculture & Waste Handling

The ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip is perfectly suited to outdoor and rugged applications. Whether you're shifting waste on a housebuilding site, loading compost and debris on a farm, or moving heavy materials across a recycling yard, the skip handles it all with ease.

Its generous 1250-litre capacity and 2000kg safe working load make it an excellent choice for high-volume waste or material transport, while its compact 960mm height, 1320mm width, and 1900mm length ensure easy manoeuvrability around tight or busy sites.

Lightweight Design Without Compromising Strength

One of the key benefits of the ETS skip model is its lighter frame. Compared to a standard heavy-duty telehandler skip, the ETS uses approximately 45kg less steel, bringing its empty weight to just 160kg. This makes it easier to handle, more cost-effective to purchase, and simpler to operate on smaller or mid-sized machines.

Despite its lighter construction, the ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip maintains full structural integrity, safety certification, and long-term performance. It’s a popular choice for teams looking to increase efficiency without adding unnecessary weight to their equipment.

Product Specifications – ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip

Key Features of the ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip

- Automatic Self-Locking Mechanism: The ETS Self-Locking Telehandler Skip features a built-in auto-lock system that engages automatically when a telehandler lifts the skip. It securely clamps behind the heel of the forks without the need for manual locking or safety chains, providing a safer and faster alternative to traditional tipping skips.

- Hands-Free Disengagement: Once the ETS skip is lowered back to the ground, the locking system automatically disengages, allowing the skip to be released without the operator ever needing to leave the telehandler cab.

- Robust, Reinforced Construction: Manufactured in the UK using 2.3mm thick high-grade steel for both the main body and the support framework, along with reinforced fork entry sleeves and a triangulated top edge to ensure the telehandler skip maintains rigidity under load and through repeated use.

- Triangulated Top Beam for Extra Strength: The angled top design adds structural integrity and helps resist deformation over time. This makes the ETS telehandler skip ideal for harsh construction and industrial environments.

- Fully Tested and Certified: Every skip is supplied fully tested and certified for telehandler use, meeting all relevant UK health and safety standards for lifting and material handling equipment.

- No Chains or Manual Release Required: Unlike forklift tipping skips, this model eliminates the need for restraint chains or lever-operated tipping mechanisms; everything is controlled from within the cab.

- Compact Yet High Capacity: With a 1250-litre internal volume and a 2000kg safe working load (SWL), the ETS model offers ample capacity for daily site operations while remaining compact and manoeuvrable.
