The 1200L Conquip Auto-Lock Forklift Tipping Skip is a heavy-duty forklift tipping skip designed for handling and discharging general waste and materials on construction sites. Suitable for use with compatible forklifts and telehandlers, its automatic locking mechanism secures the skip to the forks during the tipping operation.
This Conquip forklift tipping skip uses a gas-assisted ram to engage the Auto-Lock mechanism, helping provide fork restraint without the need to attach safety restraint chains. The skip is emptied using the machine's tilt function, allowing the operator to remain inside the cab rather than leaving the machine to release a manual catch.
The 1,200-litre Standard model is listed by Conquip as product code FA800AC-01200. It is designed for moving general site waste and building materials around housebuilding, refurbishment and other construction projects.

How the Auto-Lock Forklift Tipping Skip Works
The Conquip Auto-Lock system uses a gas-assisted ram to engage the locking mechanism with the machine's forks. Once correctly fitted and locked, the skip can be tipped using the machine's tilt function, without the operator having to leave the cab to release a manual catch.
Automatic fork locking
Insert the forks fully into the designated fork pockets. The gas-assisted Auto-Lock mechanism engages to secure the skip to the forks.
Cab-based tipping
Use the machine's tilt function to discharge the skip, allowing the operator to remain safely inside the cab during the tipping operation.
No restraint chains required
The automatic locking design removes the need to attach separate safety restraint chains around the machine's carriage, when used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Automatic release on landing
When the skip is lowered onto the ground in accordance with the operating instructions, the locking mechanism releases so the forks can be withdrawn.

Using a Forklift Tipping Skip with a Telehandler
The Conquip Auto-Lock is designed for both forklift and telehandler applications. Before use, check that the fork dimensions and spacing are suitable for the skip's fork pockets and that the machine is rated for the attachment and intended load.
- Park and position the machine on suitable, stable ground in accordance with its operating instructions.
- Set the forks to the correct spacing for the skip's fork pockets.
- Align the forks and insert them fully into the designated pockets.
- Raise the skip as instructed and check that the Auto-Lock mechanism has engaged correctly before moving.
- Transport the skip with the load kept within the machine's rated capacity and operating limits.
- At the discharge point, use the machine's tilt function to empty the skip, keeping all personnel clear of the tipping area.
- Return the skip to its carrying position and lower it onto the ground in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions before withdrawing the forks.
Do not use the skip if the locking mechanism does not engage correctly, if the fork pockets or attachment are damaged, or if the machine's capacity is insufficient for the load and operating conditions.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect the forklift tipping skip and its Auto-Lock mechanism before use. Check the general condition of the steel body, welds, fork pockets, gas-assisted ram and locking components. Look for signs of wear, distortion, damage or obstruction that could affect safe engagement.
Remove damaged equipment from service and arrange inspection or repair by a competent person before it is used again. Follow the inspection, maintenance and examination requirements in the Conquip user guide and the procedures applicable to your site.
