Product Information
Overview
Conquip’s Concrete Column Skip, somemes known as a Tremmie Skip, is a
versale, all-purpose skip for pouring concrete. Ideal for pouring columns, it can
also be used for walls, narrow formwork and pipe laying work.
Robust and well designed, the skip features 2 inverted liing points which ensure
the liing chains stay at a 45° angle for a balanced li.
The Concrete Column Skip Without Bale Arm is available in in a range of sizes with
capacies from 500 litres to 4000 litres. It can be customised to suit your specic
requirements, ensuring there is a soluon for every project, regardless of crane
capacity or the amount of concrete required.
Key Benets
• Provided with a 3-metre length of reinforced rubber discharge hose and pull
rope for pouring concrete.
• Robust, durable design to withstand wear from use on construcon sites.
• A strong spring retractor ensures automac closing of the discharge gate
when pouring is complete.
• Range of sizes with capacies from 500 to 4000 litres.
• Designed to lay horizontally on the ground to assist lling from the concrete
truck, when lied the skip uses the chains to return to its vercal posion.

Original Working Instructions
Usage Instructions
Important Usage Notes
• Control lines should be used but only to allow for light manoeuvring.
• The liing equipment’s hook must be aached to the skip’s master link.
• Always ensure that the hook’s gate is correctly closed.
• Do not empty the unit all at once as the sheer weight of the concrete may
detach the hose from the outlet. Empty the unit in short bursts for more
controlled pour and to aid concrete compacon.
Set Up Instrucons
1. Land the skip on level ground, resng upon the roll frames.
2. Aach liing chains to crane hook via a master link.
3. Check that the skip’s ow gate is fully closed and that the gate control spring
is correctly connected and in good condion. The spring tension may alter
during prolonged use and can be adjusted if required.
4. To adjust the spring tension, turn the adjuster nut clockwise to increase
tension and anclockwise to reduce.
5. Check that the hose is in good condion and correctly posioned and
secured to the outlet. An incorrectly posioned or secured hose may
separate during a pour.
6. Raise the hose and loop it over the two hose hooks to keep it clear of the
ground during lling and liing.
7. You can now ll the skip with concrete.
Original Working Instructions
Usage Instructions
Loading, Liing and Lowering the Skip
1. Before loading the skip, it must be posioned on its back with the ow gate
closed.
2. Fill the skip at the hopper end with concrete unl the skip is full and the load
is level. The skip can now be raised and moved to where its required.
3. To aid manoeuvring, aach control lines to the skip. You can now carefully
raise the skip just o the ground and check for balance and security.
4. If all is OK, proceed to move the load to its required posion. Move slowly
and carefully; do not jolt the load.
5. When in posion, lower the load unl suspended above the discharge point.
6. Unhook the discharge hose.
7. To pour the concrete, slowly pull down on the gate control rope unl the
gate opens suciently to allow the concrete to ow at the required rate. Do
not fully open the gate nor e it open. You can stop the ow at any me by
raising the gate control rope.
8. When discharge is complete, release the gate control rope then loop the
hose over the two hose hooks.
9. Move the skip back to the ground.
10. With the skip free of any load, lower it to the ground. If the skip is no longer
required, detach liing chains from crane hook/liing device.
11. Open the gate and remove all remaining concrete from inside and outside, by
hosing down with clean water, before it sets (see cleaning instrucons).

Usage Instructions
Cleaning Instrucons
1. The skip must be cleaned of all remaining concrete at the end of each work
session, or more frequently if required. There can be no excuse for the unit to
fail because of hard concrete residue.
2. Thorough cleaning can be achieved if the gate control spring is disconnected,
this will allow you to open the gate fully for hosing down. Always take
extreme cauon when releasing the gate control. Do not e the gate control
lever in the open posion.
3. Once thoroughly cleaned, the spring must be re-ed to keep the gate
closed. If you do not, concrete residue may set in the gate blade channels
that will foul its operaon.
