MacLIFT Skip Loader


David MacKrill had worked for Sheppard Fabrication, who built the Meiller ship hoists under license. When he left Sheppard to form David MacKrill Engineering (DME) in 1975, the MacLIFT skip loader was introduced and become a popular choice among British bulk haulers. Two 1978 examples are shown above, mounted on Leyland Clydesdales for Grundon.
