Keep your tipping skip safely on the forklift tines even during sudden stops and on uneven ramps. This factory‑fitted fork lock engages automatically when the forks slide into the skip’s fork pockets and stays locked until you pull the release lever. Built from galvanised steel, the spring‑loaded mechanism resists corrosion and heavy, repetitive tipping cycles.

A loaded tipping skip shifts its centre of gravity as it fills and empties. On a smooth floor this can go unnoticed; on ramps, thresholds and when braking hard, small shifts turn into big risks. This factory-fitted fork locking device keeps the skip anchored to the forks from pick-up to emptying and back again.
Without a positive mechanical connection between the skip and the fork pockets, the truck relies solely on friction and careful driving. Moisture, oil, frost, dust and worn paint reduce friction dramatically. Add an emergency stop or a bump at the ramp edge and the skip can move forward on the forks. The fork lock provides a simple, repeatable answer: when the forks (tines) slide into the fork pockets the lock closes over the fork heels and prevents forward movement, the skip remains positively retained until you deliberately release it.
The locking mechanism is manufactured from galvanised steel to resist corrosion in damp loading bays and outdoor yards. The spring-loaded latch is designed for repetitive tipping cycles and keeps working even in dirty environments. Dust and chips don’t jam the action, and the mechanism has been proven to operate in freezing conditions down to −30 °C. This is a fit-and-forget safety accessory intended for tough, year-round use.
This factory-fitted fork lock is available for Ekonomy, HD and high-lid tipping skip models. It is designed for forklift trucks only. The lock is specified at the time you order your tipping container to ensure the correct geometry and reliable operation from day one.
