Your questions answered about grab hire

How does grab hire work?

Grab trucks are large HGVs, fitted with a flexible hydraulic arm. Unlike skips which sit outside of your property, grab trucks are used to quickly remove large volumes of waste from your property.

A professional grab hire service can take all of the hard work out of waste removal. The experts will drive the truck to your property, use the hydraulic arm to clear the waste and transport it away to be disposed of correctly.

Is a grab lorry cheaper than a skip?

Grab trucks can help you to remove large amounts of waste in one go. Hiring a grab lorry service often works out cheaper than hiring multiple skips.

Grab hire services costbetween £275- £340 on average. The service fee varies depending on the truck size and type of waste that needs to be removed.

In comparison, skip hire prices are determined by the skip size and the amount of time you need the skip. If you plan to place your skip on public land, you will also need to pay for a council permit.

On average, skip hire costs between £125 - £320.

What can go in a grab lorry?

Grab lorries can remove two different types of waste from your property:

• Inert waste - This type of waste includes sub-soil, concrete, chalk, clay and rubble. Inert waste either decomposes at an extremely slow rate or doesn't break down at all

• Hardcore waste - Hardcore waste includes concrete, bricks, blockwork, ceramic, tiles, paving slabs and demolition stone. This waste can be repurposed or recycled

Grab lorries can remove large amounts of debris accumulated during home renovation or garden landscaping projects.

How much does grab hire cost?

The cost of grab hire varies depending on several factors. Your quote will be determined by:

• The amount of waste

• The type of waste

• Your location - tradespeople charge different fees throughout the UK
