MEILLER quality and efficiencyThe optimum skip handlerThis brochure contains detailed information on our range of skip handlers. Each MEILLER skip handler isdesigned to ensure a maximum degree of productivity and economic efficiency, right from the first day and forits entire operating life. The MEILLER skip handler is designed for truck chassis with a gross weight ranging from6 to 33 tonnes to ensure the rapid and efficient transportation of skips. Our skip handlers are distinguished bytheir low tare weight, high component stability and flexibility, simple handling and a long service life.Use of superior materials and the employment of the latest production processes ensure that, in addition to ahigh payload and degree of stability, our customers can enjoy an excellent level of value retention.Close cooperation with chassis manufacturers enables us to achieve an optimum degree of harmonisationbetween the vehicle chassis and superstructure. The close exchange between MEILLER and truck manufacturersenables us to respond quickly to new market demands and distinguishes us as a competent system supplier.3

Skip handler – general informationSecure load certificateAll MEILLER skip handlers meet the requirements for loadsecuring pursuant to sections 22 and 23 StVO and section30 StVZO in conjunction with VDI Directive 2700 and 2700Sheet 17.This applies to the standard version and “skip clampingmechanism” and “skip locking mechanism” variants.Certified by TÜV-Nord.Overload indicatorDIN 30 723 demands it – the MEILLER skip handler has it:a standard device for indicating overloading.This simple but reliable device enables rapid detection ofany potential vehicle overloading in the case of all skiphandlers with telescopic arms.6Subject to changes in the course of further development.

Hydraulic skip clamping deviceClamping rangeThe hydraulic skip locking mechanism is a hydraulic load securing systemthat effectively secures the skip against slipping using 4 lateral skip stops.The stops can be continuously adjusted over a range of 1040 to 1800 mmwithout reinsertion, enabling positive securing of practically all conventionalskips, including waste compression containers. This device meets all therequirements of VDI Directive 2700 Sheet 17 regarding lateral securing ofloads.With TÜV-Nord certificate.Clamping range: 1040 – 1800 mmHydraulic skip locking mechanismThe hydraulic skip locking mechanism is a hydraulic load securing systemthat actively intervenes in the front and rear pivot bearings of the skip, effectivelysecuring them towards the front and rear. It conforms completely to DIN30 723, the revised standard for skip handlers, and meets all the requirementsof VDI Directive 2700 Sheet 17 regarding load securing in and against thedirection of travel.With TÜV-Nord certificate.7

In the event of a preconfigured operating pressure being exceeded, one circuit of the 2-circuit hydraulicpump is deactivated and directed towards the tank. The consequence of this is that the unit only soft starts at half speedwhen raising from the end positions.This means that hydraulic pumps with a high pumping capacity can also be combined with standard power take-off systemsprovided by chassis manufacturers. Costly special power take-off systems are not necessarily required.8Subject to changes in the course of further development.
