Automated Crane Skip Pan
Automated Crane Skip Pan by CraneGear
The Crane Skip Pan has many names. You might hear it as Boat Skip. Muck Skip. Waste Pan. Or Crane Trash Bin. All I know is that I’m in love with the action. The arm (bale arm) lowers all of the way when you drop it down. the lock rotates so that it lifts the bin when you first try to come up. This would allow you to dump it out. If you didn’t want to dump it, you can lower the arm again and the lock will rotate. When you try to come up again, the lock will clear and the bale arm will stop when it lifts the bin horizontally and keeps any contents inside. It’s by far the easiest trash skip available today.
Large Sizes
These come in large sizes up to 10.4 yards. If you are moving soils, trash, or otherwise, these bins can get the job done with just the crane operator. No latches to work. No rigging to change. Just hoist down and it locks and unlocks automatically. But if you need it any size from a ¼ yard to 10, we have an option. The 2.6 yard versions are the right size for most jobs. But if you want to go large, our 5.2 yard versions will still fit in roll off dumpster and give you that massive weight capacity. If you need these crane trash skips as a 4 × 4, or a 4 × 8, or a 4 × 10, we can get you the sizing you need.
Safety Built In
Our Crane Skip Pans are built beyond the stringent ASME B30.20. We load test to 300% in Germany. We don’t load test to 125% and leave the rest to a calculation. Safety can’t be just a calculation we prove it. And we do so with a third part overseeing the engineering and the testing. TUV of Austria is that party. So when you are lifting overhead, do you want to know that you have 25% extra as your safety margin, or do you want 175% to be the known safety margin? If you want the great degree of safety, Eichinger and Crane Gear are your option. The 3/16 steel plate construction will last decades.
Operational Advantage
Most Crane Skip Pans have rigging that is in the way, or has to be organized. We have a structural bale arm that lays down out of the way. You won’t have to deal with rigging while loading. You won’t have rigging that might hang up as you start the lift process. And you won’t have rigging to reconfigure in the roll off dumpster in trash operations. When I was a tower crane operator the most dangerous common operation was watching people get into dumpsters. If anything shifts, they could be in trouble. They are often walking up on the edge at 8’ in the air with concrete or falling into sharp objects being their options. We eliminate that with our automated latch that functions just by having the crane operator hoisting down. No one needs to ever get in the dumpsters again.
Long Life
We’ve already talked about how we build and test these items to 300%. This also leads to a long life. The crane trash skips I lived with in my career were fragile. The first generation of boat skips I was selling 15 years ago are mostly still in service. And likely with zero repairs outside of the safety latches that were meant to keep the bale arms vertical, and not for use during hoisting. These Crane Skip Pans are even more durable and don’t have the safety latch in the first place. Outside of paint and annual inspections, you shouldn’t need to do anything to our crane skip pans.
Safety in Design of Crane Skip Pan
When you look at other crane skip pans or boat skips designed like ours, you’ll see that they have safety latches for the bale arm because it’s left vertical. This is indeed a safety hazard in need of protecting. Bale arms can be several hundred pounds. If they are knocked over in the loading process and someone is standing on the far end, it could be a deadly situation. So we designed our bale arms to lay flat and be deenergized. Our bale arms are safe and unable to move where they might harm someone.
Shipping
Shipping is included in the price that is shown. If you are ordering multiple products or multiple bins, these nest as a stack. The result is we should quote the shipping costs and deliver the bin at a lower price point. But we deliver to most of North America on the price point shown.
Conclusion
The Automatic Crane Skip Pans by Eichinger are the safest Crane Trash Bins on the market. No one needs to follow the crane operator to the dumpster if they can see it. No one needs to get into the trash bin. And no other skip pan has more safety built into the design. Take a look at the video below to see how they function. If we are doing these for crane trash operations we’ll want to option them with a bar in the back to protect the functional range of the bale arm (dumpster trash is never level). You can order on the website or reach out at sales@cranegear.net and we’ll get you the bin you need coming our way.
Here's a video of how these work.
