Prices start from £250 per load. We can take up to 18 tonnes of waste materials per load. This includes a wide range of subsoils, soils, and hardcore waste materials. We can take most common construction site waste. 

We do not take materials that the Environment Agency does not approve of. The Environment Agency regulates which materials waste disposal companies can dispose of.

How Do Grab Hire Trucks Work?

Grab hire trucks are large vehicles that are over 9 metres long. They will arrive on-site at a time that suits you with an experienced grab lorry driver. We give our drivers all the training they need to move the lorry and attachments in a safe manner. 

Each vehicle comes with a hydraulic arm (which is also called a crane) and a clam bucket attachment. Hydraulic arms allow our drivers to reach over obstacles like fences. They do not have to be on-site to collect your materials. Each hydraulic arm can stretch 7600mms in any direction. 

Once the arm is in place, our drivers will scoop up your waste materials with the clam bucket. Clam buckets are large hollow pieces of equipment. They can cut through common construction materials without a problem.

Each pile of waste goes into the large truck bed at the rear of the vehicle. Our truck beds are open plan and do not have compartments. You do not have to spend time or energy separating your materials. Each lorry can hold up to 18 tonnes of waste materials.

How Long Does it Take to Grab the Materials?

Our grab lorry rubbish removal team need less than an hour to clear your site. Most of our customers call us when their project is complete. This means that they can take full advantage of the 18-tonne weight limit.

Our drivers need 20 minutes to take muck away and 30 minutes to scoop up hardcore waste. Whichever type of material you need to dispose of, we can be away from your site in under an hour.  When you choose HH Muckers, you will never be left waiting around. Our drivers will arrive on-site at a time that suits you.

How Much Can Your Grab Lorry Carry at Once?

Our lorries can hold 18 tonnes of waste materials. We accept subsoils, soils, and hardcore waste. We will even take mixes of materials if they are on our approved list.

Companies choose HH Muckers when they do not want to deal with lots of separate disposal companies. By accepting mixes, we create a comprehensive package that the competition cannot beat. 

When you choose HH Muckers, you save time and energy. Your labourers do not have to spend time separating different materials. You can put all your materials in one pile. Let our drivers know where to go, and they will handle the rest.

Can I Order a Half Load Grab?

Our grab hire team do not accept half loads. Our prices are based on full load. A full load equates to 18 tonnes of waste materials. This includes any and all of the subsoils, soils, and hardcore waste materials on our approved list.

We do not take half loads because landfill sites charge per full load. Our grab lorry drivers travel straight from your site to the nearest landfill site. They do not have time to combine your half load with another load. Most of our customers call when their project is complete. This allows them to take advantage of the 18-tonne weight limit.

Will Your Grab Lorry Take Soil Mixed With Stone?

Each 8 wheel grab lorry in our fleet comes with a large, open-plan truck bed to the rear. It does not have separate compartments, which means that all your materials go in the same spot. They mix on the way to the landfill site. 

We are more than happy to accept mixes. We can accept mixes of subsoils, soils, and hardcore waste. Companies choose our service because they do not have to spend extra time and energy separating their materials. We recommend leaving your materials in a pile wherever is easiest. Our grab lorry drivers will do the rest.

Can Your Grab Lorry Take Tonne Bags?

At HH Muckers, we always follow the rules and regulations set out by the Environment Agency. They do not allow waste disposal companies to put tonne bags in landfill sites. Because of this, we ask all our customers to cut away their tonne bags.

You can leave all your materials in one pile for our drivers. Once our grab lorry rubbish removal drivers have your materials, they drive straight to a landfill site. This means that they do not have time to dispose of your tonne bags in a different manner.

Grab Lorry Licenses, Training, and Experience

We have all the licenses, training, and experience we need to provide you with a safe service.

When it comes to grab hire trucks, it is important to have the correct training. Trucks come with heavy attachments such as hydraulic arms and clam buckets. Our drivers understand how to manoeuvre heavy attachments around construction sites.

Each 8 wheel grab lorry we own is fully licensed. We only invest in top of the line vehicles. Customers come to us because they know that we stay up to date on the latest equipment in the industry.

Grab Lorry Cranes and Attachments 

Cranes and attachments are an important part of our waste disposal service. Without cranes and attachments, our grab lorry drivers would not be able to scoop up materials.

Each vehicle in our fleet comes with a hydraulic arm and a clam bucket attachment. The bucket is attached to the end of the hydraulic arm. Hydraulic arms are sometimes called cranes. They can rotate in any direction and stretch up to 7600mms away.

If your construction site entrance is too small for our vehicle, the hydraulic arm can scoop up your materials without ever being on-site. Hydraulic arms are heavy pieces of equipment. Our grab lorry drivers have all the training they need to manoeuvre the arm and clam bucket in a safe manner.

Grab Lorries Vs Skips

We work with companies, residential homeowners, and construction site managers who want a better alternative to skips. Here are some of the reasons why people choose grab hire trucks.

  • Grab hire trucks can hold up to 18 tonnes of waste. Most skips can only hold a few tonnes. Our customers can clear an entire site with one appointment.
  • Each truck comes with a large, open-plan truck bed to the rear. All your materials go in the same compartment, which means that you do not have to worry about separating them. 
  • We promise quick turnaround times. Our drivers need 20 minutes to take muck away and 30 minutes to remove hardcore materials. In contrast, skips have to stay on-site.
