Roll on Roll off Skips Explained

Skip Hire · 10th April 2020 · Posted by Camiers Waste Management

Roll on Roll off (RORO) skips are highly beneficial in the construction industry for removing large quantities of waste in a quick, easy and tidy manner, keeping your site free from debris when looking to clear your premises of construction and building waste. Often, these are a more cost-effective option than larger, more conventional skips.

To help you understand exactly what RORO skips are, together with why they might be right for you and your project, we’ll be presenting you with everything you need to know about RORO skips.

What is a RORO skip?

Roll on Roll off skips have the appropriate capacity to hold copious amounts of construction waste. RORO skips are the more appropriate choice if you find yourself ordering numerous 12-yard skips. Just as the name suggests, they can be rolled on and off a truck for easy transportation and manoeuvring, leaving it in a location suitable for your project.

RORO skips are also long and rectangular, unlike conventional 12-yard skips, for example. This enables a RORO skip to take waste of varying sizes and shapes for your absolute convenience. Depending on the size you go for, it may be that only one RORO skip will suffice for the project you’re undertaking, which could save you money.
