Tip-top solution
09 May 2014
Contact Attachments, which provides a range of forklift attachments and material handling solutions, has supplied its Auto Release Tipping Skips to Merseyside-based MAC Roofing and Contracting to help clear its working areas and allow employees to safely and efficiently remove waste and metal sheets for disposal into allocated skips.
The Auto Release Tipping Skips have twin locks, pre-drilled castor plates and safety chains – as with all of Contact Attachments’ skips – as well as nudge bars attached to the front which activate the standard release handle to empty the contents, meaning that the operative doesn’t have to leave the cab of the truck.
Sean Matthews, operations manager at Mac Roofing, said: "The Auto Release Tipping Skip is easy to operate and means that we can lift and tip waste directly into skips, completely removing the physical strains of doing it manually, and making the whole process safer and quicker for our employees. We’re thrilled with our purchase, which was delivered in the ten days as promised, and very much look forward to using Contact Attachments’ products in the future.”
