Skip bag weight limit?

josip

I there a weight limit for a skip bag? Are concrete blocks allowed and how many would the canvas safely take does anyone know?

L1011

Different suppliers say from 1 to 1.5 tonne. Blocks would be allowed, standard block is ~20KG so 50-75 depending on the supplier.

typically on the side they say no to blocks etc as they can tear the bag even if just a few

a lot of course no

just get a skip, it'll be no fun when it tears and you end up having to get a skip after

I did, but wasn't sure about how many blocks and the tearing risk.

Do they lift them with a Palfinger or a normal skip truck?

Panda don't seem to have that issue:

Palfinger in any cases that I've seen.

Doh! - I misread that. But found this at the bottom of the page:

Remember, skip bags are for general and garden waste only. If you have
soil, rubber, and other builders’ waste you will need to hire a metal
skip.

So that's the confirmation.
