What is grab hire?
Grab hire lorries offer an uncomplicated and affordable method to dispose of large waste quantities without needing manual loading. A grab lorry eliminates the need for on-site space and manual waste filling by utilising a hydraulic arm to collect and remove waste efficiently. The grab lorry operates effectively in areas with limited access, including behind fences and constricted spaces.
Grab hire is commonly used for:
- Building and construction waste removal
- Demolition waste, including rubble and debris
- Garden and green waste clearance
- Bulk disposal of soil, topsoil, and aggregates
- Muck away services for inert waste and hardcore
- Site clearance for landscaping and groundwork projects
The benefits of grab hire
Choosing grab hire over a skip provides several key advantages.
- No manual loading: our professional operators handle the waste removal, saving you time and labour.
- Fast collection: unlike skips, which remain on site, grab lorries remove waste in one go, typically within 20 minutes.
- Large capacity: an 8-wheel grab lorry can transport up to 16 tonnes of waste, the equivalent of up to 3 skip loads.

- Cost effective: grab hire eliminates the need for additional equipment and multiple skip loads, saving time and money.
