Weird Skip Hire Video

How weird is this?

We translated the words from the Portugeuse and came up with this very strange script:
“You ask yourself ‘What is skip hire?’
Then you say “Look at this”
“Look at this container. You would think it is a skip but look at this other thing…”
‘Look at the photo’
And if we look more closely
I was investigating skip hire and these are the results…
Would skip hire be a chain of containers?
I don’t know but if so, it would mean that
Leatherface has made himself a wheelchair from
Skips!
It’s crazy but nobody would ever know.”
THE END
What? We just don’t get the joke! Let us know if you do….
Here are some decent video links: Skip Locks Skip Nets Skip Lights

“Hello Mark,
Please find the attached video clip of some chaps from the Royal Oak public house in Caerwys placing a car on top of one of our skips!! This may be a funny feature in one of the up coming issues.
Best Regards

Screen Trommels for Sale

What could be better than a screen trommel built and manufactured by a skip hire company after 15 years of sorting through skip waste and being frustrated by the high costs of breakdowns and downtime caused by standard trommel designs?
BSA Recycling Ltd, Blackpool, decided to get into trommel manufacture because neccessity is the mother of all invention, and we have a video of their trommel here for anyone interested in getting a top quality trommel for their recycing facility at a good price from a solid British firm.
BSA Trommel
The Screen Trommel Manufacture Story:
The first item for scrutiny was the screen which had previously been found to wear at an alarming rate. BSA Recycling Ltd produced a punched hole screen with adequate spacings between holes, resulting in a strong, durable and long lasting unit.
The drive mechanism was the next area to receive attention. It has been redesigned with a single hydraulic motor drive, which has alleviated the need for chains, gears and cogs.
For those operators who have had to change a drive wheel will understand the benefits of the next area of modification! The BSA Recycling Ltd Trommel is fitted with a solid rubber drive wheel, rather than one of solid steel, thus reducing vibration. Should the wheel require attention, it can be removed without the need to remove the drum, thus saving hours of downtime.
BSA Trommel
The whole ethos of this radical redesign has been to concentrate on the longevity of the machine and to provide a cost effective, trouble free system.
BSA Ltd have also undertaken to provide the same level of attention to the feed/exit conveyors and also provide installation, commissioning and servicing of their equipment.
If you want to make an enquiry about the BSA Trommel, please send us an
giving us as much detail as you can (especially your contact detail!)

Skip Locks – Locks For Skips

We all know it happens in the industry and I suspect if it has not happened to yourself you may know a fellow skipper that has lost a few over the years, we find it really annoying you spend £500+ on a builder skip and deliver it to your customer and then go back a week later to find it has gone and no one has seen it.
Usually you have more chance of finding Shergar or Lord Lucan than your skip
The Solution – Skip Locks
Well we at the skip magazine set about finding a simple practical solution in the form of SKIP LOCKS for the normal chain lift range of skips and HOOK LOCKS for the RORO skips.
See a demonstration of the Skip Lock below

Skip Locks simply fit over the lifting lugs of the skips and stop people from attaching the lifting chains
“I have been using the skip locks for the past 4 months to reduce the theft of my skips and I am very pleased with the results”

Please note due to the different styles of padlocks we do not supply them, how ever we have found a good supplier of locks.

If you need locks to fit on Hook Lift or RORO skips then we can also supply these, you can see a demonstration online here RORO LOCKS
