If your project generates a huge amount of waste, measured in tonnes, then standard skips are simply not built for you. For large commercial projects, roll-on/roll-off skips are always the most visible option. They are larger, durable and designed to handle high volumes of waste.
Hence, you will find them a perfect choice for construction sites, demolition projects and commercial clear-out where the amount of waste generated is huge. Get in touch with professionals for skip hire in Hastings.
What is a roll-on and roll-off skip?
A roll-on and roll-off skip is a large-sized open-top container which typically ranges from 2240 cubic yards. These skips are transported using a specialist lorry that rolls the skip on and off its bed. Rather than lifting the waste with a crane-like arm, as in standard skips, the process is different.
This design allows for greater handling capacity and makes this skip more feasible for practical waste management.
How does it differ from a standard skip?
Standard skips are ideal for smaller domestic projects where the size and capacity of the waste that is generated can be calculated. Roll-on/roll-off skips, on the other hand, are designed for large-scale work. They handle bulk waste generated from commercial and industrial sites and are specifically used for these projects only. Hence, you cannot expect to use a roll-on/roll-off skip for your residential clear-out.
Why size and capacity of skips matter on commercial sites?
Large commercial projects generate waste faster than you can expect. For instance, on a construction site or in a demolition project, the waste generated includes chunks of bricks, cement and building parts. If the waste is not removed from the site, it might interrupt ongoing work and also create vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Hence, the size of the skip plays an important role in a commercial site. By hiring a small or standard skip, the capacity may be insufficient, and it will be difficult to accommodate all the waste in the same skip.
With a roll-on/roll-off skip in place, it can cope with heavier materials, sharp objects, or debris and repeated loading of the waste without damaging the skip. Hence, the size of the skip helps in faster clearance in commercial sites.
While a roll-on/roll-off skip might look like a bigger initial investment, it is a cost-effective option for large projects. Using this type of skip helps avoid repeated skip hire, reduces site disruption, and helps manage traffic.
Choosing the right option for your project
Not every commercial job needs a roll-on/roll-off skip. Smaller commercial renovations or light clearances can be completed with the help of a standard skip. However, the choice depends on the amount of garbage the commercial project is expected to generate. If there is a chance of large chunks of waste being generated from the commercial project, then hiring a roll-on/roll-off skip is the best decision, as it keeps the site clean and safe to work.
