Concrete Skips

Concrete skip hire from GAP Hire Solutions gives you a controlled, crane-lifted way to move wet concrete from the mixer to the point of pour when a pump or direct chute discharge isn't practical. A concrete skip is a steel container that is filled at ground level, lifted by crane and opened over the pour to place concrete exactly where it's needed, whether that's a column, wall, slab or foundation. Our concrete pouring skip hire range covers three main types. Tremie concrete skips in 500, 1,000 and 2,000-litre capacities have a kick-down hopper and tremie hose for directing concrete into deep or narrow pours such as columns and piles, with no-bale-arm versions at 500 and 1,000 litres. Cone flow concrete skips from 500 to 1,500 litres use a lever-operated gate for controlled discharge, and self-discharging boat skips from 500 to 2,000 litres tip automatically for fast emptying. Because concrete skips are lifted loads, every lift should be planned by a competent person, and the skip and its lifting gear should have a current thorough examination under LOLER.
