Roll-On Roll-Off Skip Hire

Standard skips are smaller waste containers designed to be lifted onto a platform or vehicle by hydraulic lifting arms. They’re ideal for transporting waste from small-scale construction and commercial projects. RoRos are larger than skips, designed to move high volumes or bulky waste, for example, from industrial construction and demolition sites. Unlike a typical skip, roll-on roll-offs are fitted with wheels to help them roll on and roll off a flatbed truck. It also makes them easier to manoeuvre when full.

We can supply static and portable compactors, depending on requirements. Bulky waste is compressed, and that waste can then be put into the container to maximise available space. Certain compactors can be fixed to containers. Depending on the size of hooklift you need, we can recommend the appropriate compactor. Contact us for more information.

The size of RoRo you need depends on how much waste you need to dispose of. As a guide, we have indicated the number of black bags each container can hold in the table above.

If you’re disposing of heavy materials, you should choose a smaller container like our 20-yard RoRo so it falls within road weight limits. Larger RoRo's, like the 40-yard, are better suited to lighter, high-volume, bulky waste.

For more information, see our chart above.

 A 40 Yard RoRo has a capacity of 40 yards³ / 30.6 m³. That’s equivalent to around 380 black bags. It measures 2400 mm wide, 2650 mm high and 6000 mm long. 

RoRos are perfectly suited to demolition and construction waste, but their large capacity makes them ideal for waste types from many industries, including:

Manufacturing

Warehousing

Local authorities

Facilities management

General waste can go into our hooklift bins. However, hazardous and WEEE waste must be kept separate and cannot be mixed with other waste types.

The duration of the RoRo Hire can be discussed as part of the contract with us. Just ask for more details.

 If you’re keeping your RoRo on your designated site, in a suitable location you do not need a permit. Due to their size, they cannot be left on roads or public land. In instances where there isn’t adequate room to place it on site, we offer a wait and load service where we will wait while you fill the hooklift and then take it away. The first 15minutes is free, additional time will be chargeable.   

We offer a 35-yard lockable, enclosed hooklift.

An enclosed hooklift has a solid, lockable side that keeps contents secure and protected from the elements. An open hooklift has no roof and has some similar characteristics to an open skip, but larger.

Yes, RoRo skips are ideally suited for use on construction sites.

We will take your waste to our facilities, where it can be processed. Depending on the waste type, it will be recycled, repurposed or used to generate energy. We only use landfill as a last resort. Visit oursustainability page for more information.

Yes, asbestos can go in our 15-yard, 20-yard, 35-yard and 40-yard RoRo bins.

This will depend upon the size of the container, and the vehicle used to collect the waste. Please contact us for further information.
