Crane Skips & Boat Skips

View as

Material handling on active construction sites often relies on a Crane Skip to move concrete, rubble, and waste safely at height. This collection of Crane Skips and Boat Skips is purpose built for lifting, transporting, and controlled discharge of materials where accuracy and stability are essential. Used alongside overhead lifting systems, each crane skip supports cleaner pours, reduced spillage, and safer site workflows, while forming an integral part of our wider Crane Attachments products. 

Different lifting tasks demand different discharge methods, which is why a boat skip is widely used for directing material into formwork, trenches, or confined areas. With self-discharging and lever operated options available, boat skips allow operators to release loads smoothly without sudden movement. Suitable for use with cranes and compatible forklift lifting points, crane skips and boat skips provide dependable solutions for contractors managing concrete placement, site clearance, and bulk material handling.

Crane Skips & Boat Skips for Concrete, Waste, and Site Materials

Concrete pouring and site clearance both benefit from using the correct crane skip design. Coneflow crane skips enable accurate placement during concrete pours, while column and circular muck skips are commonly selected for debris, soil, and demolition waste. By offering controlled tipping and stable lifting points, these crane skips help reduce manual handling risks while improving overall efficiency during repetitive lifting operations.

Boat skips add further flexibility when material needs to be discharged quickly and consistently. Twinflow and lever operated boat skip designs allow operators to adapt discharge methods depending on site layout and load type. Manufactured from heavy duty steel with reinforced edges and certified lifting points, each crane skip and boat skip is built for repeated use in demanding conditions. For Irish contractors seeking reliable, compliant solutions for lifting and pouring materials, crane skips and boat skips remain a proven choice across construction and civil engineering projects.

faqs about crane & boat skips

What is a crane skip, and how is it used on construction sites?

A crane skip is a heavy duty container designed to be lifted by a crane, allowing materials such as concrete, rubble, or waste to be transported and discharged safely across a construction site. It is particularly useful where ground access is restricted or where controlled placement of materials is required.

What materials can be handled with a crane skip?

Crane skips are highly versatile and are commonly used for handling loose materials such as concrete, soil, rubble, and general construction waste. Their robust construction allows them to safely manage heavy and abrasive materials in demanding site conditions.

How does a self discharging boat skip work?

A self discharging boat skip uses a drop down lifting beam and automatic latch mechanism. When the skip is lowered onto a designated discharge area, the mechanism releases and allows the contents to empty without manual intervention, reducing the need for personnel to be close to the load during discharge.

Are your crane skips and boat skips compliant with Irish safety regulations?

Yes. All crane skips and boat skips supplied by Lifting365 are CE marked and fully compliant with Republic of Ireland legislation, including the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work General Application Regulations 2007, which govern lifting equipment safety, inspection, and use.

How long does delivery take for a crane skip in Ireland?

Standard crane skip orders are typically dispatched within one to two working days, depending on stock availability and delivery location within Ireland. Specialised or urgent orders may require additional lead time, which our team can confirm on request.

How do I choose the best crane skip for my application?

When selecting a crane skip, check the safe working load of the skip and ensure the crane capacity, including reach and boom angle, exceeds that load. If full skips will be lifted regularly, confirm that the crane duty cycle and load charts support the operation safely. If you are unsure, our team can provide guidance to help you select the most suitable model for your site.
