The Unit should include hi-ab lifting equipment with a suitable double hook system, which should be permanently fixed to a skip container to enable servicing and simultaneous collection of material deposited within Continuer, SCV5 URS containers manufactured from galvanised steel and linear high-density polyethylene (LHDPE).
