Driving Forward: Lostock Skip Hire’s Fleet Modernisation

At Lostock Skip Hire, a Bolton-based family enterprise with over 30 years of dedication to waste disposal and recycling, we’re proud to announce a significant fleet upgrade. This underscores our commitment to our burgeoning client base and environmental stewardship.

The demand for efficient, reliable waste management solutions has grown as we’ve expanded our services across Bolton, Bury, Wigan, and Preston, catering to residential and commercial sectors.

In response, we’ve recently enhanced our operational capacity with the acquisition of 28 cutting-edge HIAB Futura skiploaders, mounted on both 12-ton and 18-ton chassis, and two Multilift Ultima 24S hookloaders on robust 32-ton chassis.

With our diverse clientele across Lancashire and Greater Manchester relying on us for prompt waste collection services, these new vehicles are pivotal in scaling our operations to meet their needs effectively. Our decision to invest was reinforced by our drivers’ positive feedback on the trial of a HIAB MULTILIFT skiploader, praising its ease of use, reliability, and performance

This investment is more than just an expansion; it’s a testament to our dedication to innovation and sustainability. The new HIAB Futura skiploaders, known for their lightweight steel construction, are not only a boon for our service efficiency but also for the environment. Mounted on fuel-efficient trucks, these vehicles are set to significantly reduce our carbon footprint, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier planet.

Joanna Dyke, our director, emphasises the importance of this upgrade, stating, “With our diverse clientele across Lancashire and Greater Manchester relying on us for prompt waste collection services, these new vehicles are pivotal in scaling our operations to meet their needs effectively. Our decision to invest was reinforced by our drivers’ positive feedback on the trial of a HIAB MULTILIFT skiploader, praising its ease of use, reliability, and performance.”

Safety and compliance are also at the forefront of this fleet modernization. Equipped with FORS cameras and AI technology, our new trucks enhance road safety and have enabled us to achieve the prestigious DVSA Earned Recognition, marking a significant milestone in our journey towards operational excellence.

Dek Butler, a MULTILIFT specialist at Hiab, commends our choice, highlighting the Futura skiploaders’ EvoLight™ steel construction for its lightweight efficiency and durability balance. “These vehicles allow for greater payload capacity while conserving fuel and lowering emissions, aligning perfectly with Lostock Skip Hire’s mission to offer environmentally conscious waste management solutions.”

As we continue to grow and adapt to our community’s and the environment’s needs, we invite everyone to stay informed about our journey and the innovative solutions we provide.
