Manufacture All of our containers are manufactured to Container Handling Equipment Manufacturers Association (CHEM) standards and are provided in accordance with quality standard ISO 9001:2015. Each container comes complete with a 12 month warranty. All of our containers are manufactured in the UK from our two manufacturing sites in Derby and Pontefract. Skip Units employ exacting standards to ensure the quality of our products are second to none. We only use premium quality steel and hard wearing components that enable many years of continuous use. No corners are cut and generous strengthening and reinforcing sections are used to protect vulnerable areas from failing to perform when put under duress. Containers can be provided in any single colour to a high build EPA compliant gloss. Special paint finish/dual colour requirements can be priced on application. Branding can be provided by use of stencilling or application of vinyls/transfers. Additional security can be added by welding name plates if required. Each container has an individual weld number applied which is unique for that product. |

After service Our service does not end with the sale of a container. In addition to holding complete records of all the containers we have sold and the accumulation of a vast amount of knowledge, gained over many years of manufacturing containers, this enables us to offer sound advice on the best solutions to contain and transport your waste. We can provide a full range of spares to keep your containers on the road and earning you money. If Skip Units made the container we can provide you with the components you require, including compaction pins, tubes and sheets, rollers, lids for skips, FEL, REL and hooklift containers, tipping bar assemblies for skips, door hinges, bale bars, locking mechanisms, turnbuckles, ratchets, door seals, skip lugs, skip nets, labyrinth plates – and much more.
