Another option I have used is use the sides off tipper as ramps. Mine are alloy and not very beefy but proberly alright for some stuff
For that to work, your tipping hinge would have to be setback from the back. Mine is too far back for it to make any difference.
just buy the right length, and make sure they are secured down with pins into the bed

I've won a 100m2 driveway and some terracing so 35 tons of disposal ish. Was gonna hire ramps and a skip loader but I've decided to buy these ramps and drill them and some sort of support mid way and putting end to end into the skip for a 20 ft shallow incline. They're 600 quid and I would imagine a skip loader and ramps for 10 days would be several hundred so.....
