Transporting stacked empty skips
Delivering 2/3 empty skips containers is not in itself dangerous but can bring additional risks to a work activity. Empty Skips can be stacked providing:
1. They are nested. 2. The lift chains are attached to all skips possible. 3. The midpoint of the upper most skip is no higher than the height of the lift arms in the stowed position. 4. The stack is secured with at least two lashings. More than 2 empty skips must be secured by ratchet straps and depending on the container size will determine how these are strapped. The company will not permit the stacking of more than 3 empty skips.
