Nationwide Grab Hire

Clear loose waste quickly with dependable grab lorry hire arranged around your site, access and project requirements.

GB Recycling Group provides nationwide grab hire for construction, groundworks, landscaping and commercial clearance projects. The vehicle's hydraulic grab arm loads suitable material directly and takes it away during the same visit.

Grab Hire for Fast, Self-Loading Waste Removal

Grab hire provides a practical way to collect loose waste without requiring separate loading machinery on site. The lorry’s hydraulic arm lifts suitable material into the vehicle, helping reduce manual handling and clear the working area efficiently.

The service is particularly useful where material is positioned behind a wall, fence or other obstacle, provided the lorry can park safely and the pile is within a suitable working distance of the grab arm.

Grab hire can support one-off clearances as well as repeated collections during longer construction, excavation and landscaping projects. Tell us what needs to be removed, the site location, approximate quantity and access arrangements, and our team will discuss a suitable option.

Typical Requirements

  • Soil and subsoil
  • Hardcore, brick and concrete
  • Muck away and excavation material
  • Inert construction and demolition waste
  • Garden and landscaping waste
  • Commercial site-clearance material

Acceptance depends on the material and its condition. Loads must be described accurately before the service is confirmed. Hazardous or contaminated material requires prior assessment and must not be collected unless specifically agreed.

Choose the Right Service

Grab lorries and tipper lorries can both remove substantial volumes of loose material, but the loading method is different.

Choose Grab Hire WHen

  • You need the collecting vehicle to load the waste
  • Material is stored behind a wall, fence or other obstacle
  • A hydraulic grab arm would make access easier
  • You want the waste loaded and removed during the same visit
  • Suitable vehicle access and operating space are available

Choose Tipper Hire When

  • Suitable loading machinery is already available on site
  • Material can be loaded safely into the vehicle
  • The project requires efficient bulk haulage
  • Repeated material movements may be needed
  • There is appropriate access and operating space

Not sure which service is right? Send us the site postcode, material details, photographs and information about the available loading equipment. Our team can help identify the more suitable option.

A Practical Way to Clear Loose Waste

Grab hire combines loading and collection in one service, helping keep projects moving and working areas clear.

Vehicle-loaded collection

The hydraulic grab arm loads suitable loose material, removing the need for separate loading machinery on site.

Useful reach over obstacles

Material may be collected from behind walls, fences or other obstacles where the lorry can operate safely.

Prompt removal

The waste is loaded and transported away during the same visit, avoiding a container being left on site.

Flexible project support

Nationwide commercial support

Practical self-loading waste removal for difficult access and busy sites.

Grab Hire for Projects and Clearances

Grab lorries are suited to projects that produce loose waste and have suitable access and space for the vehicle to work safely.

The waste must be positioned where the grab arm can reach it safely. Please tell us about walls, fences, trees, overhead cables, parked vehicles and any other restrictions before the collection is arranged.

Simple Grab Hire

Tell us about the material

Provide the collection postcode, material type, approximate quantity and any relevant project information.

Share the access details

Tell us where the lorry can park, where the waste pile is positioned and whether there are walls, fences, cables, trees or other restrictions.

Receive a tailored quote

We will review the requirements and provide a quotation based on the material, location and collection arrangements.

Arrange the collection

The grab lorry arrives at the agreed location, loads the suitable material using its hydraulic arm and transports it away.

Help Us Plan Your Grab Collection

Clear information helps the team assess suitability and arrange the right support. When requesting a quote, please provide:

  • The collection address and postcode
  • A clear description of the material
  • The approximate quantity or number of loads
  • The position of the waste pile
  • Details of any walls, fences or other obstacles
  • Vehicle access and site restrictions
  • Details of overhead cables, trees or structures
  • The surface and proposed operating area
  • Your preferred collection date and timescale
