How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Grab Lorry?

Grab lorry costs pay for themselves when you have a large number of waste materials to dispose of. 

Our grab lorry prices start at £250 per load. We are one of the only waste disposal companies that offer a comprehensive service. We give our customers guaranteed time slots. One of our drivers will arrive during your time slot, scoop up your materials, and drive straight to a landfill site.

Our grab hire trucks can handle up to 18 tonnes of waste per visit. A lot of companies call us when their project is complete. They can take advantage of the 18-tonne weight limit and clear their entire site at once.

How Do Grab Hire Trucks Work?

Grab hire trucks are not normal trucks. They come with a crane that has a clam bucket on the end. These are two vital pieces of equipment that help our drivers scoop up waste materials. 

Each 8 wheel grab lorry is over 9 metres long. They come with a large truck bed to the rear that can hold up to 18 tonnes of waste materials. 

We only hire experienced grab lorry drivers who know how to manoeuvre the crane in a safe manner. Cranes are large pieces of equipment that can rotate and stretch up to 7600mms away. They can reach over obstacles like fences. 

Once the arm is in place, our drivers use the clam bucket to pick up your waste materials. All your waste materials go in the same compartment in the truck bed. We never ask our customers to spend extra time separating their materials.

How Long Does it Take to Grab the Materials?

We can clear your site in under an hour. 

Our drivers arrive on site with all the equipment they need to pick up your materials. It takes them less than an hour to clear entire sites. They need 20 minutes to take muck away and 30 minutes to clear hardcore waste materials like brick and stone. It takes longer to scoop up hardcore waste because the clam bucket cannot cut through those types of materials.

How Much Can Your Grab Lorry Carry at Once?

Each 8 wheel grab lorry in our fleet can hold up to 18 tonnes of waste materials.

Our vehicles come with a large truck bed to the rear. They are open plan, which means that all your waste materials go in the same compartment. You do not have to spend extra time and energy separating them.

Most of our customers can clear their entire site with just one visit. Our grab hire services are cost and time-efficient.

Can I Order a Half Load Grab?

We only accept full loads because landfill sites charge per full load. Once our drivers have your waste materials, they drive straight to a landfill site. They do not have time to pick up other half loads from different customers. 

We recommend waiting until your project is complete until calling our team. That way, you can take advantage of our 18-tonne weight limit and clear your entire site.

Will Your Grab Lorry Take Soil Mixed With Stone?

We can take soil and stone mixes. We can also accept mixes of any of the approved materials on our list. The Environment Agency helps us to decide which materials we can accept. They create rules and regulations for waste disposal companies. 

Our grab hire team are happy to accept mixes because all your waste materials go in the same compartment. Each vehicle we own comes with a large open plan truck bed to the rear. They do not come with separate compartments for different materials.

Can Your Grab Lorry Take Tonne Bags?

The Environment Agency does not allow us to put tonne bags in landfill sites. As soon as our grab lorry drivers have your waste materials, they drive straight to the nearest landfill site. They do not have time to dispose of your tonne bags. 

If your materials are already in tonne bags, cut them away. You can leave all your waste in one pile for our drivers. You do not have to worry about separating them because they all go in the same compartment.

Grab Lorry Cranes and Attachments 

Our vehicles are not normal trucks. They come with a crane (which is also called a hydraulic arm) that has a clam bucket attached to the end. The crane can reach 7600mms away and can rotate. They help our grab lorry drivers reach materials that are far away. 

We work with customers who have short and narrow construction site entrances. In this case, our drivers use the hydraulic arm to reach over fences.

The clam bucket helps our drivers scoop up waste materials. They can cut through soils and subsoils with ease. It takes a bit longer to scoop up hardcore waste because clam buckets cannot cut through them. 

All your materials go in the same compartment in our truck bed. You never have to spend more time separating your materials. Our service takes the hassle out of the waste disposal process. The entire process takes less than an hour.

Grab Lorries Vs Skips

Skips are a more traditional choice for people who have a small amount of waste to dispose of. More and more companies choose to book grab hire trucks. Even residential homeowners choose grab hire trucks over skips.

Here are some of the main benefits of choosing a lorry instead of a skip.

  • Lorries can clear entire sites in under an hour. Each vehicle we own comes with a truck bed to the rear. They can hold up to 18 tonnes of waste materials. Our drivers need 20 minutes to take muck away and 30 minutes for hardcore waste. In contrast, most skips can only hold a few tonnes of waste and have to stay on-site until your project is complete.
  • Some residential homeowners choose trucks instead of skips. Skips can be an eyesore. They can take up valuable space on a residential street. Sometimes residential homeowners have to buy an expensive permit just to have the skip on their property.
  • At HH Muckers. We are proud to offer our customers a 24/7 service. If you are ever in a waste disposal emergency, we are the team to call.
