Need to clear away construction material or garden waste? At UK Aggregates & Plant Ltd (UKAP), we offer grab hire in Cheshire to clear tonnes of waste in one easy motion.
Our Cheshire grab hire is ideal for builders, landscapers, and residential projects alike. With same- or next-day delivery available, you can clear your site quickly, preventing any delays to your schedule.
What Is Grab Hire & How Does It Work?
Grab hire is a simple way to remove large amounts of waste from construction sites, landscaping projects, or even residential properties.
With a hydraulic arm and deep grab bucket, the arm extends to pick up debris before dropping it into the bucket. From here, it can be safely disposed of later (we use eco-friendly disposal methods, where possible).
You get up to 8 metres of reach from either side of the hydraulic arms, allowing for ease of access around any walls, fences, or hedges in the area.
Our grab wagons have a maximum load limit of 16 tonnes, making them perfect for even the larger construction projects.
How to Prepare Your Site for Grab Hire
- Collect your waste materials within clear sight of the road, ideally in an accessible area
- Allow for a minimum of 3.2 metres width for lorry access
- Make sure there are no overhead cables, trees, or other structures blocking the path
- Take away any hazardous materials such as asbestos ahead of time
