• Only automatic tipping skips that have a positive connection that secures the tipping skip into position behind the heel of both forks are permitted to be used.
• Auto tipping skips must be subject to regular inspection and maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidance to ensure that the auto lock mechanism is functioning correctly.
• Operators must ensure locking mechanism has correctly operated prior to moving/lifting.
