In this blog, we look at hiring a skip bin for landscaping and gardening jobs to save time, effort and resources on site.

At JUMBO, we have a diverse client base who use our skips for all kinds of jobs. From home clean ups and DIY renovations to new home builds and demolition projects. Landscapers in particular have found a clever use specifically for our skips with drop down wheelbarrow ramps.

Every job involves an element of repetition. If you are a tradie, that involves some repetitive physical exertion. A landscaping job may have tonnes of soil and dirt, old brickwork or concrete needing disposal. This quickly becomes hours of carting the old materials offsite and into a skip.

So how can JUMBO help make your life easier? We have a limited number of custom built skip bins with drop down wheelbarrow access doors, which double as ramps.

How Does JUMBO’s Skip Bin Hire Help a Landscaper?

Our clever customers, like Synterra landscaping in Brisbane (pictured above), are using motorised loading equipment (wheelbarrows, dingoes etc) to carry heavy loads of waste from the yard to the skip. The motorised machine carries the rubbish up the ramp through the drop door. These processes save not only time but huge amounts of physical exertion. This helps avoid injury in the workplace.

Motorised machines can navigate tight access areas and will often fit down the side of a home. They wheel right into the skip bin, making it a seamless process without the need to manually lift and unpack the load at the other end.

Bins with a drop-down wheelbarrow door are specialised, so you need to specifically request it upon booking. At JUMBO, we have skips with wheelbarrow access doors available in 3m, 4m or 6m cubed sizes.

Landscapers, whether you are replacing topsoil, disposing of clipping, garden waste, organic waste, or removing old concrete slabs or paving perhaps from a pool area being upgraded, this clever combination is what you need in your life!

How do JUMBO’s Specialised Skip Bins Help with Landscaping Jobs?

Keep in mind that bins with wheelbarrow doors are also great when disposing of heavy items that will be difficult to throw over the top of your skip bin, usually those items that require two people to carry them.

Our specialised skip bins are also great for the elderly and injured because you can walk in and gently place items down. And of course, they are ideal for other trades professionals who have repetitive lifting tasks.

Request a Skip Bin with a Wheelbarrow Door

As mentioned previously, a regular skip bin doesn’t have a wheelbarrow door. They are a luxury extra and need to be booked in advance. As such, there is limited availability, so please call to chat and ensure that the size you require is available on your preferred dates.

Crane Certified Skips with Wheelbarrow Doors

Working on a high rise construction site? A number of our bins in this range are also certified to be crane lifted. Some of our customers use them at heights, so that plastic wheeled bins can be emptied into a centralised skip for removal.

The Difference Between Skip Bins with a Wheelbarrow Door and Hook Bins

Not to be confused with wheelbarrow doors, hook bins also have doors, but the whole end of the skip opens. This is required to empty the waste content of the bins, as they range from 12m – 15m cubed sizes.
