Grab hire is a cost-effective way to remove large amounts of waste or deliver aggregates using a lorry fitted with a hydraulic grab arm. The grab arm can reach over fences, walls, and obstacles to load or unload materials quickly, reducing the need for manual labour or skips.

A grab wagon can remove:

  • Soil and topsoil

  • Hardcore and rubble

  • Concrete and demolition waste

  • Garden waste

  • Muck away from excavations

Hazardous waste is not permitted.

A standard grab lorry can remove up to 16 tonnes of waste in a single load, making it more efficient than multiple skips for large projects.

No permit is required as long as the grab lorry can safely access your site from the road or driveway. If access requires stopping on a public highway, traffic management may be needed.

Grab hire allows waste to be collected without placing a skip on site. It is faster, handles larger volumes, and does not require permits in most cases. Skip hire may be better for ongoing small waste generation.

Grab hire prices depend on:
  • Location
  • Volume and type of waste
  • Access
  • Tonnage
