TKL Skip Hire recruits drivers and buys new Hiab skiploaders

Yorkshire waste and recycling business TKL Skip Hire has taken on three drivers as part of an expansion plan following its purchase of Hiab Multilift skiploaders.

They will operate the trio of Futura FTR12s installed onto a Scania chassis.

The company, which operates across South and West Yorkshire, as well as Derbyshire, said the move would increase collections by up to 30%.

Martin Lindskey, TKL MD, said the recycling and construction sectors currently showed no signs of slowing: “We’re in a really positive position to be investing in the business and increasing our capacity to meet growing demand,” he said.

“These state-of-the-art skiploaders are operated using remote control which is safer for the driver and makes it easier to drop and collect skips within tight spaces.

“We have several contracts with local authorities and house builders, so it’s important that we have the right equipment and team in place to respond to the needs of our customers.”
