Skip Bin
Types & Features

Marrel Skip Bins

Marrel bins are perfect for small household clean-ups or building sites that require smaller bins for recyclable materials. Marrel bins are generally smaller and can usually be placed in driveways, difficult to access sites, and areas where space is at a minimum. Smaller sized bins are trapezoidal in shape and are lowered from the back of the truck using chains.

Available sizes: 2m3, 3m3, 4m3, 6m3, 8m3, and 9m3

Hook Skip Bins

Hook skip bins are the preferred bin for building sites that generate large quantities of waste. Hook skip bins require a clearance of at least 3 metres, and can be placed in carports, garages, and other difficult to access sites. All hook bins are rectangular in shape and have rear-opening doors to allow easy manual loading. They are lowered on and off the truck by the truck’s hydraulic system.

Available sizes: 4m3, 5m3, 8m3, 10m3, 15m3, 20m3 and 25m3

Rear Barn Door

Our 4m3, 5m3, 8m3, 10m3, 15m3, 20m3 and 25m3 skip bins all have a common feature of the barn door. This feature allows the back of the bins to fully open where the door can be swung 270 °.  This feature allows quick and easy access to load the bin.

For Easy & Convenient Access

Drop Down Door

Our 3m3, 4m3, 6m3, 8m3  and 9m3 skip bins have the added feature of the drop down door or barrow door. This is a feature where the rear of the bin lowers to make a ramp. This enables easy access with a wheelbarrow , making loading much easier ,  quicker and in many ways safer.

For Easy & Convinient Access

Crane Hook

These bins have been certified / rated to allow their use in various situations where bins and waste are craned on and off construction sites .
