Maintenance & Servicing – Forklift Tipping Skip with Lid

To keep your Forklift Tipping Skip with Lid operating safely and efficiently, we recommend regular cleaning, inspection, and servicing. After each use, remove any waste build-up around the lid hinges, fork pockets, and tipping mechanism to prevent damage and ensure smooth operation.

Carry out visual inspections regularly to check for:

- Wear or cracks on welds and reinforced corners.

- Corrosion or dents on the lid, bucket, or fork pockets.

- Proper function of the automatic reset mechanism and safety retaining chain.

- Free movement of the hinged lid and handle.

If your skip is fitted with castors, push handles, or a drain tap, these should also be checked frequently to ensure they are secure and working correctly.

For long-term reliability, lubricate moving parts such as hinges and lid pivots where appropriate. If you’ve chosen a locking mechanism for added security, make sure the lock remains functional and undamaged.

In line with PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations), all workplace equipment, such as this UK tipping skip, should be inspected by a competent person at least once a year to maintain compliance and safety standards.

At ULS Lifting, we also provide servicing and maintenance support for skips, attachments, and lifting equipment.
