What is Grab Hire?
Grab hire is a waste removal service that uses special trucks call grab lorries. These lorries have a hydraulic arm that can pick up and load large amounts of waste quickly – even from hard-to-reach places. It’s a fast and efficient alternative to skip hire, suitable for both homeowners and businesses.
How Big is a Grab Lorry?
Our grab lorries are built to handle heavy loads and operate on a range of sites. They’re about 3 metres wide, so access needs to be clear and spacious. To keep things running smoothly, please place your waste in an open, easy-to-reach area.
What Can a Grab Lorry Take?
Our grab hire service can collect a wide range of non-hazardous waste, including:
- Construction waste: bricks, concrete, rubble
- Garden waste: soil, tree branches, cuttings
- Aggregates: sand, gravel, and crushed stone
- Topsoil and muck: ideal for landscaping
Please note, we do not collect hazardous or contaminated materials. If unsure whether your waste qualifies, please ask a member of our team.
How Long Does Load Take?
One of the biggest advantages of grab hire is speed. Loading usually takes 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how your waste is arranged. If the waste is segregated neatly, the load time is faster, ensuring your project is on track. If unsure where to place waste, contact our team beforehand and we will guide you.
Can Grab Lorries Load Over Fences or Walls?
We would advise not to do so, this will avoid any unnecessary damage to the fences or walls.
