What is a Concrete Skip?

A Concrete Skip is a digger attachment designed for efficient and precise handling of concrete on construction sites. It features two spouts that provide flexibility in pouring direction. The front spout faces away from the machine and is ideal for aiming concrete into formwork or shuttering. This allows the operator to guide the concrete smoothly and accurately into difficult or narrow spaces, reducing waste and ensuring even distribution.

The second spout, positioned at the rear of the attachment, faces the machine and gives the operator a clear view during the pour. This visibility is crucial for achieving greater precision, particularly when pouring in confined spaces or near structures. The controlled flow of concrete in both directions helps avoid over-pouring or unnecessary spillage, making the process more efficient and reducing the need for manual adjustments.

Why should you use a Concrete Skip?

A concrete skip offers several benefits for construction projects. The dual spout design improves accuracy and control during concrete placement, helping operators deliver the material exactly where it’s needed. This not only reduces the likelihood of errors but also minimises the need for extra labour, as fewer workers are required to guide or handle the concrete.

Additionally, using a concrete skip enhances safety by keeping workers away from hazardous areas during the pour. The operator can handle the process from within the machine, reducing the risk of injuries. Furthermore, the increased efficiency means that tasks can be completed faster, which helps save time and reduce overall project costs.
