So, what exactly is grab hire? In simple terms, it involves using a grab lorry to remove waste from your site. Unlike skip hire, where you have to load the waste yourself, a grab lorry has a hydraulic arm that can extend up to 8 metres, allowing it to reach over walls, fences, and other obstacles to collect the waste.

This makes grab hire a much more convenient and efficient option, particularly for larger and heavier items such as builders' waste, soil, and concrete. It also means that you don't need a permit to have a skip on the road, as the grab lorry can collect the waste from your site directly.
