Grab hire

What is a grab lorry?

A grab lorry is a tipper lorry with a hydraulic arm and bucket, called the grab, mounted on it. The driver works the arm from the lorry, reaches over walls, fences and gardens, and lifts the material straight into the lorry.

When a grab lorry suits the job

• Garden clearances and landscaping waste
• Basement digs and extensions, where spoil builds up quickly
• Sites with no room for a skip
• Drives and front gardens behind walls or fences
• Delivering aggregates and topsoil over a wall, straight to where you need them

Grab or skip?

• No skip permit: the lorry is only on the road while it loads, so nothing is left standing in the street.
• No hand loading: the grab lifts the material, so nobody has to fill a skip by hand.
• The waste leaves site the same day it is loaded.

If the lorry needs to stop on a road with parking restrictions, we will talk it through with you before the day.
