When you’ve seen one skip, you’ve seen them all, right? Wrong! The skip hire industry boasts some highly creative individuals, and the chances are that someone, somewhere is coming up with the latest whacky twist on the conventional skip right now!
This unlikely incarnation of a skip was dreamed up by John Gratton-Fisher, of Grove Skip Hire in Nottingham.
John regards the humble skip as his trusty business associate, and so commissioned Crazy Coffins to create this very special resting place.
On his final journey, John says he will feel privileged to be put in a skip and go out with the rubbish! Although he’s in no hurry to road test it, as John told The Skip “I’m not planning on using it for a while yet!”
WALLER SKATES?
You’d be forgiven for thinking that these skips were actually a pair of roller skates for brief celebrity fat man, Rik Waller.
However, these cute little wagons are genuine, operational skips, and are the property of Heanor Mini Skip Hire in Derbyshire.
It seems an odd concept at first but when you consider the places these skips can access it makes good sense - not to mention the environmental and economical benefits of running these significantly smaller trucks.
