So it's Friday afternoon and we get a call we have heard time and time again, I should have bought some of your Roro Locks but I was to busy and now I have had 2 40 yard roro skips stolen and £9000 out of pocket!
Hence we have an order for 20 of the brand new heavy duty RORO locks going out of the door, if only he had ordered them last month before he lost his skips!
We have been so busy we forgot that the magazine reaches it's 4th birthday in July, how the time has flown!!
I remember ringing a lot of strangers up and letting them know that we were launching The SKIP as a dedicated trade magazine to the waste industry back in June 2005 and thankfully enough people shared the same vision and advertised in that very first issue.
The strangers back in 2005 have become very good friends over the years, we can't list everyone in detail the web page would take to long to load but special thanks go out to
Marco Muia aka "The Enviroman"
Roger Hudspith "The Garbage Guru"
Nigel Mair our Health & Safety Expert
Riverside Waste, Smulders Waste, Hammel UK, Firstgrade recycling, Bmc Trucks, Baughans Barrel Screens, GM Insurance Brokers, Waste handling Solutions and everyone else we thank you for joining us and making The Skip Mag great!
Not forgetting the readers who love the magazine and submit all the pictures that make up our skip hunks and skip chicks and we promise to update them on the web soon!!
Ant is the man that makes it happen these days at "The Skip Mag" if you go to the trade shows you will have met him many times, or thanked him for getting clients to ring you.
Or perhaps you have spoke to him when buying a RORO LOCK or a Skip Rotator
Who knows but if you are in the industry then you will have no doubt met him!!
So today we all share his chocolate birthday cake as he reaches the grand young age of 25
The King of RoRo locks is here!
We all know the cost of a 20 yard/ 40 yard skip and the hit we take when they get stolen and in these credit crunch times more and more skips are vanishing and either being resprayed or sold for the scrap value!
So why not invest in some decent Roro Locks to help keep you Roro Skips staying where you deliver them.

THE ROTATOR!!!
The Skip presents a new design relating to loading and off-loading of all types of skips. Saving TIME and MONEY for YOU the operator.
The product is a step-less and unlimited rotation device which enables loading and off-loading of skips at any desired angle. The design offers many advantages, especially in urban areas where skips are often required to be placed in or collected from almost impossible locations.
The Skip Rotator Loading
Skips can be loaded or off-loaded over the sides of trailers. When large trailers with three skips loaded in a row are used, even the central skip can be easily reached. Extra devices previously used in these situations are now no longer required.
Surveys show that on average, skip-lorry drivers must perform 5 extra positioning movements per day to satisfy the customer’s wishes. These extra movements waste time and fuel which translates directly into higher running costs for the skip operator. Calculations show that a skip rotator can pay for itself in as little as 1 year.
The Skip Rotator in action
The skip rotator will also improve the longevity of a skip loader. With a skip rotator the telescopic arms are more evenly loaded which reduces wear. The skip rotator also prevents bending or twisting of a single telescopic arm through over-loading.
The rotary drive is an electric/pneumatic unit and is easily coupled to the existing power sources already present on the vehicle.
The skip rotator can be fitted to all makes of new or used skip-loaders up to a capacity of 18 tonnes.
Up to 4 empty skips can still be stacked on a vehicle fitted with a skip rotator.
These are available for £8850 + vat + delivery with fitting included
