GRAB HIRE
Efficient Removal for Larger Volumes of Waste
Grab hire can provide a practical solution where loose materials or larger waste quantities need to be removed directly from an accessible site.
When Grab Hire May Be the Right Choice
A grab vehicle uses a hydraulic arm to collect suitable materials directly from the site.
It may be appropriate when there is a larger quantity of loose waste, materials are accessible from the vehicle position, a skip is not the preferred option, or quick loading and removal are required.
Vehicle and operating details must be confirmed by the carrier assigned to the collection.
