Invicta Skip Compactor - With a choice of 2 Sizes
The Fork Mounted Skip Compactor is designed to achieve optimum skip capacity. Waste is usually deposited into the yard skip and taken away once full. However, in most cases the skip is 30-45 percent full of fresh air. The Skip Compactor, filled with ballast, significantly reduces this and subsequently reduces the number of collections required and money spent in doing so.
Standard Features
- Adjustable height to suit up to 8 foot deep skips
- Heel pin locking for the safe attachment to forklift truck
- Robust and sturdy construction
- Painted bright orange for safety
- Filled with a mixture of 10mm Pebbles and crushed sandstone

Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international orders.
A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.
