Skip Pan 4,000 LB.

Gar-Bro 4KSP248 Standard Capacity Skip Pan – 4,000 LB. Rated for Reliable Jobsite Material Handling

The Gar-Bro 4KSP248 is a general-purpose skip pan rated for 4,000 LB. carrying capacity, engineered for professional contractors who need a dependable, leak-resistant solution for building material transport and concrete bucket washout. Measuring 96" L x 48" W x 24" H, this pan is built to handle the rigors of daily commercial and industrial jobsite use. It is manufactured by Gar-Bro Manufacturing Co., an American company that has been producing quality construction equipment since 1923. The 4KSP248 meets or exceeds ASME B30.20 Below the Hook Lifting Devices standards, making it a compliant and code-ready choice for crane and hoist operations.

Unlike generic site pans or improvised containment solutions, the Gar-Bro 4KSP248 is fully welded to prevent seepage, ensuring that liquids and fine materials stay contained during lifting and transport. Its nest-stacking design sets it apart from non-stackable alternatives, allowing multiple units to be stored and transported in a minimal footprint — a key advantage for job sites where space and logistics matter. Custom sizes and fork pocket options are also available, providing flexibility that off-the-shelf competitors cannot match.

Key Features & Benefits

Fully Welded Construction

The 4KSP248 is fully welded throughout to prevent seepage of liquids or fine materials during crane lifts and transport. This is critical when using the pan for concrete washout or slurry containment, where any leak can create safety and environmental compliance issues on the job site. Contractors can rely on this pan to contain materials without improvised sealing measures.

4,000 LB. Rated Carrying Capacity

With a 4,000 LB. rated load capacity, this skip pan handles substantial volumes of building materials, debris, or washout slurry in a single lift. The rated capacity is backed by compliance with ASME B30.20 Below the Hook Lifting Devices standards, providing confidence that the pan has been engineered and tested to perform safely under load. This rating is particularly relevant for contractors operating under third-party site safety inspections.

ASME B30.20 Compliance

The 4KSP248 meets or exceeds the requirements set forth in ASME B30.20, the industry standard for below-the-hook lifting devices. This compliance is essential for contractors working on projects subject to OSHA oversight or owner-mandated safety requirements. It also simplifies procurement decisions for safety managers who must document equipment certifications.

Nest-Stack Design for Efficient Storage and Transport

The skip pan is designed to nest and stack with other Gar-Bro skip pans, reducing the storage footprint when multiple units are on site. This is a significant logistical benefit for contractors who rotate equipment between multiple job sites or need to stage several pans in a limited yard or staging area. Fewer flatbed loads and crane picks to move stored pans translates directly to reduced mobilization costs.

Optional Fork Pockets

Fork pockets are available at an additional charge, enabling the pan to be repositioned on the job site using a forklift or telehandler without requiring a crane pick. This flexibility allows contractors to move the pan at grade level efficiently, reducing crane time for ground-level repositioning tasks. Contact Diamond Tool Store for pricing on this option.

Custom Sizes and Configurations Available

In addition to the standard 4KSP248 dimensions, Gar-Bro offers custom-engineered sizes and designs to fit project-specific requirements. Contractors with non-standard crane capacities, floor plan constraints, or unique material handling needs can specify a pan sized to their exact application. Call for a custom quote to discuss available configurations.

Common Applications

Concrete Bucket Washout

The fully welded, seepage-resistant construction makes the 4KSP248 ideal for collecting washout water and residue from concrete buckets, preventing contaminated slurry from reaching grade and creating environmental or housekeeping issues on the job site.

Building Material Transport

The skip pan can be crane-lifted and repositioned across the job site carrying bulk building materials such as block, brick, bagged goods, or loose aggregate, reducing the number of individual lifts required and streamlining vertical transport operations.

Debris and Waste Collection

Positioned at elevated work areas or floor openings, the pan serves as a collection point for construction debris, allowing workers to consolidate waste for a single crane pick and disposal rather than multiple small loads.

Slurry and Liquid Containment

The watertight welded body allows contractors to collect and hold liquid waste, slurry, or other fluid byproducts of construction operations for compliant disposal, particularly relevant on environmentally sensitive or regulated project sites.

Tool and Equipment Staging

The large interior footprint (96" x 48") provides ample space to stage hand tools, small power tools, or consumable supplies at elevated work levels, reducing elevator or hoist trips for workers on high-rise or multi-story projects.

General Jobsite Material Handling

As a general-purpose lifting pan, the 4KSP248 is suited to any application where a large, rated, below-the-hook container is needed for crane-assisted material movement across a commercial or industrial job site.

Technical Specifications

Safety Data Summary

Hazard Information

• Below-the-hook lifting device – maintain safe exclusion zones beneath suspended loads at all times
• Do not exceed the rated 4,000 LB. carrying capacity
• Inspect pan for cracks, weld failures, or structural damage before each use
• Risk of load shift during lifting – secure materials appropriately before crane pick
• Liquid containment loads may shift center of gravity – rig and lift with caution

Personal Protective Equipment

• Hard hat required when working in or near crane lift zones
• Steel-toed footwear required during loading and unloading operations
• High-visibility vest when operating near crane or forklift traffic
• Gloves when handling construction debris or sharp materials loaded in the pan

Safe Handling

• Rigging must be performed by a qualified rigger in accordance with applicable OSHA and ASME standards
• Use appropriate crane or hoist rated for the combined weight of the pan and its contents
• Ensure pan is fully seated and stable before initiating a lift
• Do not use pan for personnel transport under any circumstances
• Refer to the Gar-Bro Skip Pan Safety Letter for manufacturer-specific handling guidance
• Store stacked pans on level, stable surfaces to prevent tip-over

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Gar-Bro 4KSP248 compliant with OSHA below-the-hook lifting requirements?
A: Yes. The 4KSP248 is designed to meet or exceed ASME B30.20, the standard for Below the Hook Lifting Devices, which is the applicable industry standard referenced in OSHA rigging regulations. Contractors should also ensure their rigging and crane operations comply with all applicable OSHA standards.

Q: Can this skip pan be moved with a forklift instead of a crane?
A: Fork pockets are available as an additional charge option. Without fork pockets, the pan is intended for crane or hoist lifting only. Contact Diamond Tool Store to add fork pockets to your order or inquire about pricing.

Q: Are other sizes available if the 4KSP248 dimensions do not fit my application?
A: Yes. Gar-Bro offers two additional standard sizes — the 6KSP2410 (6,000 LB., 120" x 48" x 24") and the 8KSP2510 (8,000 LB., 120" x 60" x 24") — as well as fully custom-engineered sizes and designs. Call Diamond Tool Store for a custom size quote.

Q: Can multiple 4KSP248 pans be stacked for storage or transport?
A: Yes. The 4KSP248 features a nest-stack design that allows multiple pans to stack together, minimizing the space required for storage on the job site or during transport on a flatbed or in a yard.

Q: Is the skip pan watertight for use as a concrete washout basin?
A: The pan is fully welded to prevent seepage, making it suitable for concrete bucket washout and liquid or slurry containment applications. It is one of the primary intended uses identified by Gar-Bro for this product.

Q: Where is the Gar-Bro 4KSP248 manufactured?
A: The 4KSP248 is American engineered and American made by Gar-Bro Manufacturing Co., which has been producing construction equipment since 1923 and is headquartered in Heber Springs, Arkansas.
