Grab Hire Services

What is Grab Hire?

Grab hire is a convenient and efficient service for removing various types of waste and materials from construction sites, landscaping projects, or domestic properties. It involves using a specialised vehicle, a grab lorry equipped with a hydraulic arm and grab bucket. This arm can extend and manoeuvre to pick up and load materials such as soil, rubble, concrete, green waste, and other debris directly into the lorry’s bed.

Why use Grab Hire rather than a Skip?

Choosing a grab hire over skip hire can streamline your waste removal process significantly, here’s why:

1. Less Disruption: With skip hire, you have to consider traffic disruption during delivery and collection, seek parking permits, and find a suitable location for the skip. On the other hand, grab hire services like ours reduce these logistical challenges.
2. Greater Efficiency: Our grab wagons can remove a variety of materials, including inert soil, hardcore, muck, building rubbish, bricks, concrete, and mixed waste. These grab wagon has the same capacity as two builders’ skips, making the waste removal process more efficient.
3. Reduced Manpower: Unlike skip hire, which requires manual loading, grab hire services require no additional large machines or equipment on site as the lorry loads itself. This not only reduces manpower but also minimises the need for wheelbarrows or other loading tools.
4. Accessibility: Grab hire services can reach inaccessible materials by grabbing over walls or hedges. This flexibility is particularly valuable when dealing with hard-to-reach areas.
5. Quick Turnarounds: Grab hire services can complete the waste removal process in about 30 minutes, limiting disruption and making the process far quicker than traditional skip hire.
6. No Additional Costs: With grab hire, there are no ongoing skip hire costs or fees for permits allowing skips to be left on roads. This makes it a more cost-effective solution for many projects.
7. Flexible Hire Durations: You can hire a grab wagon and man, or tipper wagon and man on a ‘by the load basis’ or by the day or week. This flexibility allows you to tailor the service to your project’s specific needs.
8. Health and Safety: All UKAP drivers are fully trained in health and safety, ensuring that all processes are understood by everyone on-site. This is particularly important when dealing with a grab wagon with a 7-metre reach, removing tonnes of waste over walls and fences or around trees or houses.
