We had a skip delivered. I was unsure on the size and the lady on the phone was so helpful with helping me get the right size. She sent me photos of the skips so I could judge easier, as measurements aren't my forte'. Was delivered promptly and the guy was so friendly and nothing was to much trouble for him. Overall it was such a pleasant experience and on our next clear out, I will defo use Taylors again. 5 ??'s from me.

Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) Skip Hire

When a project produces far more waste than a standard skip can handle, a roll-on roll-off container is usually the most cost-effective answer. RoRo skips are large, open-topped containers that are winched on and off a specialist hook-lift lorry, giving construction sites, commercial premises and large clearances a huge amount of capacity in a single drop.

Taylors Skip Hire supplies RoRo skips across Surrey and Sussex, including Redhill, Reigate, Crawley and Horley. Every RoRo hire is quoted individually, so tell us about your site and your waste and we'll recommend the right container.

Why Choose a RoRo Skip?

  • High capacity: RoRo containers are typically 20 to 40 cubic yards - several times the size of our largest standard skip - so they suit large-scale and long-running projects.
  • Fewer exchanges: one big container means fewer collections, less time waiting on swaps and lower costs over the life of a project.
  • Easy loading: many RoRo containers have a rear door, so waste can be wheeled or carried straight in rather than lifted over the side.
  • Simple swaps: the hook-lift lorry can collect a full container and leave an empty one, keeping your site moving.

What Are RoRo Skips Used For?

RoRo containers are built for volume. Typical uses include:

  • Construction, refurbishment and fit-out projects
  • Demolition and strip-out work
  • Large commercial and industrial clearances
  • Warehouse, factory and retail clear-outs
  • Bulky, lightweight waste such as packaging, timber and furniture
  • Ongoing waste on sites that need regular exchanges

For smaller jobs, a standard skip is usually better value. Our 14 yard skip is the largest skip in our standard range, and you can compare the bigger sizes on our jumbo skips page.

Weight, Waste Type and Loading

A RoRo container holds a lot, but dense materials such as soil, concrete and hardcore get very heavy long before the container looks full. Weight limits depend on the container and the load, so tell us exactly what you'll be disposing of when you ask for a quote - heavy waste is often better split into smaller containers or handled through our construction waste removals.

As with any skip, waste must stay level with the sides and hazardous or restricted items need agreeing first. Our guide to what you can put in a skip covers the rules.

Do You Have Room for a RoRo?

RoRo skips need much more space than standard skips. The container itself is long, and the hook-lift lorry needs a clear, straight run to winch it on and off, plenty of overhead clearance and firm, level ground that can take the weight. They're normally placed on private land such as a construction site, yard or car park.

If you're not sure your site is suitable, contact us and we'll talk through access before booking. Our guide to the benefits of RoRo skips also explains how they work on larger projects.

RoRo Skip Hire FAQs

How big is a RoRo skip?

Roll-on roll-off containers typically range from around 20 to 40 cubic yards. Let us know the type and amount of waste you expect and we'll advise which size is available and most suitable.

Is a RoRo cheaper than several standard skips?

For high volumes, usually yes. Fewer, larger collections reduce transport and exchange costs. For smaller amounts of waste, a standard skip is normally better value.

Can a RoRo skip go on the road?

RoRo containers are generally too large for the public highway and are placed on private land. If space is tight, ask us about alternatives such as several smaller skips or a rubbish removal service.

Can you exchange the container when it's full?

Yes. We can collect a full container and swap it for an empty one, which is ideal for ongoing construction or commercial work.

What happens to the waste?

We sort and recycle as much as possible rather than sending everything to landfill. You can read more on our recycling page.
