Tipping Skip Castor Offset Plate Set

Tipping Skip Castor Offset Plate Set – widen the wheel track by 240 mm

If you’ve ever moved a small tipping skip that felt top‑heavy or skittish, you know how much confidence a stable wheelbase brings. This tipping skip castor offset plate set provides a simple, repeatable way to move the castor mounting points outboard from the container frame. The wider stance reduces the tendency to pitch or roll when the skip is loaded, improving control in narrow service corridors, at loading bays and on uneven workshop floors.

What the set does

Each plate shifts the castor mounting position outward so that the wheel track grows by 120 mm on each side. The increased footprint delivers noticeably calmer handling when the skip is pushed by hand, towed on flat ground or transported on forklift tines. The benefit is clearest with compact skips where the centre of gravity can change quickly as you add heavy offcuts, swarf or compactable waste.

Where it helps most

Outboard castor plates shine in tight, congested spaces: between pallet racks, around production cells or near presses and saws where floor surfaces aren’t always perfect. By widening the support base, the set helps the skip track straighter, resists side‑lean and lowers the chance of a tip when a wheel meets a cable, threshold or pothole.

Standard size across skip capacities

The plate set is a standard size. It does not depend on the skip’s volume, so you can stock a single accessory for a mixed fleet of containers. Whether your yard uses 150‑litre compact bins or larger units, the same four plates bridge the gap between the chassis and your castor kit, pushing the wheel centres outward for a wider stance.

Built for industrial duty

The plates are made of sturdy steel and arrive painted in a classic blue industrial finish that stands out on the shop floor. The colour choice is more than cosmetic: good visibility aids safety when multiple vehicles and pedestrians share the same lanes. The smooth finish also makes wipe‑downs quick when swarf, chips or dust accumulate.
