Alternative for heavy waste

Grab-lorry collection

A grab lorry is a collection alternative rather than a skip size. It can suit loose soil, rubble and other heavy materials when there is suitable vehicle access and the waste can be reached safely.

Heavy-waste alternative

6 WHEEL GRAB

6 wheel grab lorry hire ideal for removing soil, hardcore, concrete and construction waste. Perfect for site clearances and bulk material collection.

Choosing a size

What skip size do I need?

Start with the waste, not just the volume

Choose by both the amount and type of waste. Bulky, light items may suit a larger skip; dense loads such as soil, bricks, concrete, rubble, and hardcore are often restricted to smaller sizes.

Check the actual footprint

Compare the listed length and width with the placement area, then allow working room for delivery, collection, doors, gates, and safe loading.

Dimensions can vary between suppliers

Catalogue measurements are a comparison guide. The unit supplied locally may differ, so confirm the final dimensions and permitted waste when you check availability for your address.

Road placement may need permission

A skip placed on a public road may require a permit and safety equipment. Rules, lead times, and charges vary by local authority and supplier.
