Posted By N Knight I am working on a project with a further education college which includes bricklaying on it's curriculum and at intervals the students are required to barrow waste bricks to the skip and 'hand ball' them into the skip. I would like to find a system to avoid the manual handling element and wonder if any members have knowledge of a suitable system. There is no fork lift truck available so a conventional tipping skip is not an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Nick

Posted By Peter_hse One option depending on the layout of the area would be to have the skip at a lower level so that the materials can be tipped downwards rather than thrown upwards but I appreciate that this is an option that is rarely available. One alternative that I've used in the past is the low-level type skip where you can walk into the skip and tip a wheelbarrow inside and walk out again. There is a drop-down end door to enter the skip. Hope that might work. Otherwise it's definitely specific MH training as already suggested.
