What to know about Grab Hire?
Grab hire is an efficient and flexible waste removal service, especially suited for handling large volumes of waste that can’t be easily disposed of via skip hire. Here’s what to keep in mind when considering grab hire for your project:
- Ideal for Bulk Waste: Grab hire is perfect for projects that generate large amounts of waste, including construction sites, landscaping projects, and highway works. It’s often quicker and more cost-effective than skip hire when managing bulk materials.
- Types of Waste: Grab lorries can handle a wide range of materials, from non-hazardous items like soil, rubble, and green waste to certain hazardous materials, including asbestos. However, it’s essential to check with the provider regarding the type of waste, as some items may have specific requirements for disposal.
- Efficient Loading Process: Equipped with hydraulic cranes, grab lorries can reach over walls, fences, and small obstructions, making it easy to load waste directly from hard-to-access areas. This versatility means you don’t need to pile up waste in a single location, saving time and reducing manual handling.
- Capacity and Size Options: Grab lorries come in various sizes, typically ranging from 4-wheelers to 8-wheelers, with capacities between 9 and 18 tonnes. Selecting the right size lorry for your needs can improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Quick Turnaround: Grab hire services usually offer fast turnarounds, often completing waste removal within a day, depending on the project size. This makes it an ideal choice for projects with tight schedules.
- Regulations and Compliance: Ensure that the grab hire service provider is licensed and compliant with waste disposal regulations. Reputable companies will dispose of waste responsibly, prioritising recycling where possible and ensuring that hazardous materials are handled correctly.
- Site Preparation: To make the process smooth, clear any immediate obstructions and inform the provider of any potential access challenges. Planning ahead helps the grab lorry access the waste without delays.
Choosing grab hire for your project provides a convenient, efficient, and affordable way to manage large volumes of waste, saving time and resources while ensuring proper disposal.
Grab Hire Service FAQs
Grab hire is often faster and more convenient, as the grab lorry can load and remove waste quickly without requiring a skip permit. Skip hire may be better suited for smaller or ongoing projects where waste accumulates over time.
Grab lorries can collect various waste types, including soil, concrete, hardcore, green waste, construction waste, and general household or garden waste. However, they typically cannot take hazardous materials like asbestos.
Grab hire is a waste removal service that uses a large lorry with a hydraulic arm (grabber) to load and transport waste from your site. It’s ideal for removing large amounts of heavy or bulky waste quickly.
A standard grab lorry can carry between 8 to 16 tonnes of waste, depending on the size of the vehicle. This is generally equivalent to the contents of several skips.
Grab hire costs vary depending on factors like the volume of waste, distance to the disposal site, and any access difficulties. Typically, it’s priced per load or per tonne, with rates available upon inquiry.
Grab hire is usually quick, with most collections completed within 20 to 30 minutes. The actual time depends on the amount and type of waste being removed and the accessibility of the waste area.
The grab lorry arrives on-site, and the hydraulic arm ‘grabs’ the waste directly from a designated area, such as a driveway or garden, and loads it into the lorry for transport to a licensed disposal facility.
No, you typically don’t need a permit as long as the grab lorry can access the waste from your property. However, if the vehicle needs to park on public roads, parking arrangements may need to be discussed.
Grab lorries need adequate space to maneuver and reach the waste area. They may struggle with narrow or restricted access, so it’s essential to discuss access requirements before booking.
