Quick, Reliable Grab Hire Across the UK

Grab hire is a fast, practical way to remove large volumes of waste without the delays of filling a skip by hand. Our grab lorries use a hydraulic grab arm to load material directly into the vehicle, making it ideal for construction sites, groundworks, landscaping projects and domestic clearances.

If you’re searching for grab lorry hire, grab wagon hire or “grab lorry near me” for a multi-site job, Rapid Hire offers nationwide coverage with consistent service standards and responsive booking.

What Is Grab Hire?

A grab lorry (sometimes called a grab truck or grab wagon) is a heavy lorry fitted with a hydraulic grab arm and bucket. The grab reaches over fences and obstacles to lift waste into the lorry body, reducing manual handling and speeding up removal.

Grab hire is particularly effective where there’s limited space for a skip, where waste is already piled, or where you want a single visit to clear the area and keep your project moving.

How Grab Lorry Hire Works

1) Prepare your waste: place soil, rubble or green waste in a single pile where the lorry can safely pull alongside. 2) Book a collection slot: choose a time that suits your programme. 3) We load and remove: our driver operates the grab arm to load the waste quickly. 4) Disposal and paperwork: waste is taken to authorised facilities and documentation is provided where required.

Grab Hire vs Skip Hire

Skip hire works well when waste builds up over days or weeks. Grab hire is best when you need fast removal and minimal on-site disruption. In many cases, grab hire can also reduce the admin associated with placing a skip on a public road, because no container is left on site.

Grab Lorry Cost and What Affects Pricing

Grab hire pricing is typically influenced by the volume and weight of the load, the waste type (inert versus mixed), local disposal charges, travel distance, and site access. Tell us what material you have and we’ll recommend the most cost-effective vehicle and collection plan.
