Have you ever wondered about what Marrell Skip Bins look like? Well here is a guide to Marrell Skip Bins and their shapes and sizes and other options that are available. 

Your first question might be what is a Marrell Skip Bin?

Marrell Skip Bin Truck

Well a Marrell skip bin is a bin that is delivered (and picked up by a truck with a Marrell style loader (or lifting equipment) as pictured left. The truck has dual hydraulic arms on the back of the truck (behind the cab). Atteched to the arms are pairs of chains that get attached to each coner of the bin to lit it on and off the back of the truck.

The size of Marrell Skip Bin Trucks can vary significantly from small to large multiple axled vehicles. The truck in the photo above is an average sort of size with only a single rear axel for lighter load.

The range of bins that are carried on a Marrell skip bin truck vary from 2m³ to 17m³   (cubic meters). Here are some photos of the different bin sizes and their typical dimensions.
