Invicta Auto Locking Skip

The Auto-Lock Tipping Skip has been designed to reduce risk and increase efficiency during the emptying process. Simply drive your forks into the pockets and the automatic mechanism will lock itself to the forks of the Telehandler when elevated, this negates the Forklift Driver exiting the safety of his cab in both the lifting and emptying operation. Also includes the added benefit of 4-way pocket entry for ease of positioning on site.

HEALTH & SAFETY

• The manager of the department or section where the attachment is to be used must be responsible for ensuring the operators are fully conversant with the attachment, its operation and maintenance.
• Ensure both the truck and attachment are capable of handling the intended load and its contents.
• Personal must keep clear of the emptying process at all times.
• Do not shock load the skip under any circumstance.
