ABSTRACT

Crane and skip handling In many operations, chuting in the early stages followed by crane and skip handling are fairly typical means of handling. Where skips are used it is advisable to provide two skips-one for filling and handling and the other for emptying at the point of placement. Rails set under the mixer discharge allow bodies carrying skips to be run under the plant for filling. Full skips run down, out to the lifting point and empty skips are pushed up to the loading position.
