At JUMBO we have a number of different specialised skip bin types allowing us to meet the varied waste needs of our customers: from general waste, to commercial waste, and specialised waste. All of our specialised skip bins are constructed to engineering design, ensuring that they meet all requirements, both in terms of safety and functionality.
Below is a list of the types of specialised skips on offer, including features and ideal usage.
Skip Bins with Wheelbarrow Doors
These bins are useful to many household customers who have a small to medium amount of waste but need ease of access. Particularly useful for home renovations, or landscaping projects with large amounts of soil or green waste. These skips are also useful for spring clean or household cleanups where heavy items such as fridges need to be disposed of, as you can walk them into the bin, allowing for safer disposal.
- Skip bins with wheelbarrow doors come in the following size options: 3m, 4m, 6m.
- Because of the specialised nature, skip bins with wheelbarrow doors are available on request and are subject to availability.

Hook Bins with Doors
Doors are standard on all Hook Bins (full swing open door 270 Degree opening), making hook bins ideal for construction and industrial sites who have large amounts of hazardous chemicals and construction waste and want to be able to stack it with ease rather than toss rubbish over the top of the bin. They are most commonly used in construction, demolition, but also during extreme weather events, like cyclones, and flood cleanups.
- Hook bins come in the following large bin sizes 10m, 12m, 15m, 20m

Skip Bins with Forklift Pockets
Our skip bins with forklift pockets or telehandler pockets were purpose-designed and constructed to meet the needs of one of our partners. Initially designed for the purpose of travelling on barges to Tangalooma Island Resort, these bins are also useful on building sites due to their ease of manoeuvrability.
- Our mini skips with forklift or telehandler pockets come in the following skip bin size options: 2m & 4m

Craneable Skip Bins
Crane-able skip bins are ideal for sites with limited space, so they can move the bins in and out of places that our trucks wouldn’t be able to access. These bins are designed to be lifted up multi-story buildings and placed onto scaffolding landings. Additionally, they can and have been used in underground constructions. JUMBO’s crane-able bins were used in part of the Brisbane Cross River Rail project, being lowered into the tunnels. Crane-able skip bins can still be emptied by our skip trucks.
- Craneable skip bins come in the following skip sizes 2m, 3m, 4m, 6m and 15m (crane-able hook bin)
Our crane-able bins are Crane Certified by All About Lifting and Safety Brisbane.

Crane-able Site Bins
Crane-able site bins often have wheels on them, so they can be pushed around floors on multilevel construction sites. They have forklift pockets, so that they can be tipped by rotating telehandlers.
These bins are designed and built more slimline to allow tighter access, for example, through doorways. High quality caster wheels can be added to allow the bins to be pushed around the site and through the building.
Crane-able site bins are for site hire only and need to be emptied into a larger bin onsite by a crane or manitou with a rotating attachment (As these bins are not designed to be tipped by our trucks).
- Our crane-able site bins come in the following sizes 1.5m & 2m

Wheeled Plastic Site Bins
Wheeled plastic site bins are for exactly that purpose. They don’t get lifted by crane but do have forklift pockets to allow for easy disposal using a manitou with a rotating attachment. They are great for wheeling through multi-story buildings in their fitout stages and have less chance of causing damage to the property while wheeling around due to their lightweight nature and slim design. If you need a waste solution whilst navigating narrow spaces on site, the wheeled plastic site bin is the answer for you.
Subcontractors are tasked with emptying these bins into larger bins daily so that the rubbish can be removed in bulk in a regular skip.
- Wheeled plastic skip bins are available in 660L & 1100L bins
- Additional option of lids
- We also offer the ability to purchase these bins outright.
