There's a lot of building work going on around us right now and they all seem to have these weird skip things tagged on the side...

Thing in red.

It looks like a landing platform for the crane, but the leverage must be immense if you dumped something heavy on it.

What are they for and how are they attached?

It's a USB toilet.

You don't want to insert it upside down.

Hopefully with more than a couple of lengths of 2x4.....
