Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP)
The HDTS Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip, also known as the Teleskip, is a UK-manufactured, heavy-duty tipping skip designed for safety, efficiency and daily use in demanding site environments. As the original auto-locking skip for telehandlers, this robust model automatically locks and unlocks from behind the fork heels, enabling quick, safe attachment without the operator leaving the cab.
Engineered from reinforced steel and containing 30% more material than comparable models, the HDTS skip is built for longevity and resilience in tough construction conditions.

Available in five standard sizes from 500 to 1750 litres, and compatible with a wide range of telehandler models, the Teleskip offers safe, secure and efficient waste transfer. Optional castor wheels increase mobility on hard-standing surfaces, making it ideal for sites, factories and yards.

FAQs for the Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP)
What is the Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP)?
Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP) is a heavy-duty telehandler tipping skip that locks securely onto floating fork heels using gas-struts, no chains required. It allows for safe, single-operator material movement and tipping directly from inside the telehandler cab.
How does the auto-locking mechanism work on the Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP)?
The Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP) uses a gas-strut-assisted mechanism to lock onto the telehandler forks automatically. When the forks slide into the skip’s pockets and lift, the gas struts activate heel pins behind the fork heels, securely locking the skip in place. It releases automatically once placed back on the ground.
What Is a Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP)?
Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP) is a tipping skip designed with an advanced gas-strut locking system that secures the skip onto the telehandler forks without any need for safety chains. Once the skip is lifted from the ground, the rear heel pins automatically engage, locking it in position for safe use across any construction or demolition site.
How Does the Autolocking Mechanism Work on the Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP)?
Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP) skips are fitted with floating fork heels supported by a gas strut system rather than traditional safety chains. As the telehandler forks engage the skip and lift, the gas struts push the heel pins into place behind the forks, locking the skip securely. This ensures the skip stays fixed, even when tilted, no manual chains or intervention required.

Telehandler Auto-Locking Skip (HDTS TELESKIP) offers several advantages:
