How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Grab Lorry?

If you’re looking for waste removal services and wondering “how much does it cost to hire a grab lorry?”, here is a guide that might be of good use to you.


What is Grab Hire?

Grab hire is a waste removal service where a truck equipped with a hydraulic arm and claw, known as a grab lorry, is used to pick up and transport waste materials. This service is typically used for large-scale waste removals projects, such as construction and demolition sites, as it allows for the efficient and convenient disposal of heavy and bulky waste materials. The grab lorry will load the waste into its truck and transport it to a landfill or recycling facility for proper disposal.


Is Grab Hire different from Skip Hire?

Both Skip Hire and Grab Hire serve a similar purpose but are different in terms of mechanism, load, use cases, and time of the projects of rubbish removal.

You might want to hire a skip lorry for waste removal, but you will have to use manual labour and it might take a longer period of time to collect and dispose of. They are preferred for parking at your premises or construction/project site for as long as you need them.

A Grab Lorry for hire might be the better option for removing larger or heavier amounts of waste because they have a large hydraulic arm attached to them for lifting loads. They are the preferred choice at large construction sites as the grab wagon can hold and dispose of much larger volumes of waste in lesser trips.


Things to know before you book a grab hire

  • 1. It is important to know what you can or cannot put in a grab lorry.
  • More often the grab hire company is happy to let you put harmless waste like bricks, garden waste, cardboard, concrete, furniture, rubble, wood, recyclable waste, etc.
  • It is important to check if they do not allow items like chemicals and solvents, food waste, and large electrical items.
  • 2. You must know what size of a grab lorry you need, and if you need more than one.
  • 3. You must keep in mind the load level of the grab lorry. It is illegal to overload a skip as per transport laws and the driver may well refuse to collect it.
