Patented Dual-Stack Technology

ONE LORRY. TWO LOADED SKIPS.

SkipStakka is a patented chassis-mounted secondary load deck that lets a standard skip lorry carry two loaded skips per trip. Fewer journeys. Lower fuel. Higher utilisation.

WHY THIS EXISTS

Skip operators run single-load vehicles on fixed routes. Every empty return journey burns fuel, time, and margin. With diesel costs rising and emissions targets tightening, the industry needs to move more with less, without buying more lorries.

HOW IT WORKS

01
LOAD
First skip loaded onto the lorry chassis via the existing skiploader gear.
→
02
DEPLOY
Chassis-mounted secondary load deck deploys above the first skip, supporting the upper load independently.
→
03
STACK
Second skip loaded onto the deck above. Both skips delivered in a single journey.

BY THE NUMBERS

Fewer Journeys
2×
Carry two loaded skips per trip instead of one. Halve the return journeys on compatible routes.
Fleet Impact
45,000+
Skip lorries operating nationally in the UK. Each one a potential retrofit candidate.
Market Opportunity
£2.3B
Total addressable market in the UK alone. Global expansion potential across any market with skip lorry fleets.
Carbon Reduction
Fewer trips, lower emissions
When the same work is done with fewer journeys, operators reduce fuel burn and emissions relative to baseline operations.

PATENTED INNOVATION

01
Chassis-Mounted Load Deck
The secondary load deck mounts directly to the lorry chassis and is rated to carry a 4-tonne skip independently. Load transfers from the upper skip through the deck and into the chassis support frame, never through the lower skip. UK Patent GB2609453 granted. Detailed engineering, prototyping, and validation work still ahead. Final ratings subject to structural review and sign-off by qualified engineers.
02
Retrofit Compatible
Designed to retrofit existing skip lorries using the vehicle's existing hydraulic and electrical systems. Operated via cab lever or remote handset. Folds to a stowed vertical position when not in use, allowing the lorry to operate as a standard single-skip vehicle. Not every vehicle will be suitable until individually assessed. Final fitment, approvals, and integration agreed with manufacturers and converters per build.
03
Twin-Restraint Cargo Security
A retractable hook system locks the upper skip to the deck, with secondary chain restraints providing redundant load security. The two-layer approach mirrors standard practice for stacked transport loads. Restraint specifications subject to engineering validation. Compliance with applicable UK transport regulations verified per build.
