2.0 Skiploader Equipment Introductions
Designed for handling large quantities of bulk waste, the Skiploader equipment can also be referred
to as Chain-Lift equipment and is proven to be an economical solution to industrial, household and
commercial waste companies. Designed to carry containers from 4 cubic yard to 12 cubic yards,
they are used for removing and transporting varying volumes of waste materials. The Skiploader
equipment loads, unloads, transports and tips the containers carrying the waste product. The main
operations are as follows;
•Container loading and unloading from the ground to the chassis and vice-versa
•Container loading and unloading on a trailer
•Container tipping for material unloading
Skiploader equipment is often preferred by operators due to its ability to operate in many
environments due to their smaller size. Part of this versatility is the equipment ability to allow
operation in confined and tight spaces. With an operational speed of approximately 90 seconds to
load or unload a container it is a very practical solution for handling bulk waste products.
Furthermore, complete operation of the Skiploader equipment is carried out inside the vehicle cab, or
from a safe distance, when a radio remote control is specified.
2.1 Explanation of the Main Skiploader Components
Understanding the main components of any Skiploader equipment is important to better appreciate
the functionality and operational requirements of the equipment. A basic level of component
knowledge is extremely useful. It is advised any users should familiarise themselves with the
components when being trained or demonstrated the equipment.
The main structures to note are as follows;
•Independent telescopic arms for added flexibility and versatility
•Hexagonal lifting arms for extra strength with integral telescopic arm cylinders for added
security
•Tipping hooks mounted on solid one piece rear torsion tube for extra strength
•Adjustable bin stops to secure different sized containers quickly and easily
•Bed mounted lateral lifting hydraulic cylinders which are operational when the container is
loaded / unloaded or during tipping
•Hidden access ladder for safe access to Skiploader bed
•Integrated headboard for safety and security
3.0 Installation of the Skiploader Equipment
The Skiploader equipment will be mounted and fixed according to our standard procedures of
practise with consideration taken for the chassis types and variations. Upon confirmation of any
order the technical department will produce mounting installation drawings and guides based on the
equipment selected and truck type. Weight and payload calculations are possible but may vary
dependent upon model/types.

4.0 Safety Instructions
Before using any Skiploader equipment it is important the Safety Instructions are read, understood
and adhered to at all times without exception.
Environment Checks;
1. It is absolutely forbidden for any persons to be in the equipment acting radius during
operation of the Skiploader. A safe distance between any persons and the equipment must
be adhered to at all times.
2. Always check to ensure the equipment is being operated on a level and secure surface prior
to operation
3. Always check for overhead obstructions such as power lines before use
4. Always check the vehicle surroundings before loading or unloading or tipping of the Container
User Checks;
1. It is forbidden for the equipment to be operated by a non-trained person
2. Operators must ensure they have been instructed on the equipment lifting capacity, utilisation
limits and warning light positions prior to operating
3. Please further consult section 4.0 Operators Equipment for further information
Operational Checks;
1. Always operate the Skiploader equipment safely from the side mounted control valve OR
inside the vehicle, where in-cab controls are fitted OR from a safe working distance, where
radio remote control is supplied. In the event of an emergency, the Operator can easily stop
the equipment working by;
a. Pressing the emergency stop button
b. Releasing the PTO (power take off) Unit
c. Via the Clutch Operation
2. Always ensure the In Cab monitoring system is off prior to driving the vehicle. The monitoring
system inside the Vehicle Cab indicates a number of items used in the loading, unloading and
tipping process with various indicators present. These indicators cover the following;
a. PTO Warning Light –Showing the PTO is engaged and the Skiploader equipment is
Live for operation
b. Warning Light for Tipping –This light indicates the Skiploader main arms are off the
Skiploader bed and raised in the air. Therefore, unsafe to travel until the arm is back
in connection with the truck chassis and the light is off.
c. Stabiliser Legs Warning Light –This indicates whether the stabiliser legs are deployed
on the ground for stabilisation in the loading, unloading and tipping process. The light
must be out before travel.
d. Flashlight–This indicates the system is on/off and should only be flashing when the
Skiploader equipment is being used in the loading, unloading and tipping processes.
