YOUR QUESTION, ANSWERED
What should I know before booking?
It works best when the pile is close to the road and the lorry has room to park and swing its arm. We check the lorry can reach before every job.
Read the common questionsWHAT THIS SERVICE COVERS
When is grab hire worth considering?
If you have a pile of soil or hardcore and a grab lorry can reach it, it is gone in one visit with no skip on the drive. Send a photo of the pile and we will tell you if a grab lorry or a skip is cheaper.
Hardcore and rubble
Bricks, concrete, broken paving and other building rubble.
Site preparation waste
Spoil left after landscaping, foundations or a new drive.
Garden and green waste
Big loads of branches and cuttings, if the lorry can reach them.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
What we need to know about access
Tell us where the pile sits relative to the road, whether there are parked cars, overhead cables, walls, trees or other obstacles, and whether the vehicle has a safe place to stop. Photographs showing the full site are particularly useful.
Keep different types of waste in separate piles. Tell us about any asbestos, plasterboard or contamination before we book.
PRICES & QUOTATIONS
How much does grab hire cost?
Grab hire is priced on the type of waste, how much there is and how easy it is to reach. We will need details before discussing the rate; no fixed collection capacity or same-day availability is promised here.
Grab hire or skip hire?
Skip Hire can be better if you need several days to fill a container. Grab hire is ideal for a ready-made pile of soil or rubble near the road. Not sure? Send us a photo and we will tell you.
PLAN YOUR SERVICE
When a grab lorry can be more practical than a skip
Grab hire is used when soil or hardcore is already piled up near the road or a hard standing. We check the access with you before booking.
Loose, stockpiled spoil
Tell us if it is soil, rubble or mixed builders' waste. A photo of the pile is enough.
Reach and overhead obstructions
Photograph the approach and any parked vehicles, low branches, power cables or structures above the pile. A lorry with a grab arm cannot necessarily lift from behind obstacles.
Weight, volume and ground surface
Tell us roughly how much there is and where the lorry can park. Other firms' grab prices and loads vary, so ask us for ours.
Before you request a quote
- Send your postcode, what the pile is, its rough size and a photo from the road.
- Identify safe vehicle standing space, restrictions, overhead services and the distance from road to pile.
- We will confirm what can go, how much the lorry takes and the final price.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Grab Hire FAQs
Quick answers to what people ask us most.
What materials can a grab lorry take?
Soil, hardcore, rubble and other heavy loose material. We check what it is first.
Does the lorry need to enter my property?
Not necessarily, but a safe loading position and sufficient reach are essential. Send site photos and describe any obstructions.
How much can a grab lorry hold?
Capacity varies by vehicle and material weight. Ask the team for the available vehicle specification and safe load allowance.
Can you collect mixed building waste by grab lorry?
Mixed household rubbish is better in a skip. Tell us what is in the pile and we will advise.
Can you collect soil left over from groundwork?
Yes. Tell us the rough quantity, the material type and the access, and we will quote for a grab lorry to clear it.
Can a grab lorry reach a pile over a fence?
Reach depends on the available vehicle, the fence, overhead obstacles and safe standing space. Send photos showing the pile from the road and we will tell you if it can reach.
Can grab hire remove mixed household rubbish?
Grab hire is for heavy loose material, not mixed household rubbish. Tell us what the load is. A skip or a rubbish collection might be cheaper.

When grab hire beats a skip
A grab lorry has a crane arm that lifts waste straight off the ground, so nothing needs to be shovelled into a skip by hand. It is the quickest way to shift a large pile of soil, rubble or hardcore from a groundworks or landscaping job.
The lorry needs good access and a firm surface to park on, plus clear space above for the arm. Tell us how far the pile is from the road and send a photo, and we will confirm whether a grab can reach.
For smaller amounts of heavy waste, a 2 or 4-yard skip is usually cheaper. Grab hire comes into its own once you have more than a couple of skips' worth.
