Why is Grab Hire Better than Skip Hire?

Being a grab hire provider, you would be forgiven to think that we are biased on this topic, but not without good reason. When it comes to waste removal, skip hire is a popular choice. But is it the best option?

Is Grab Hire Better Than Skip Hire?

Building sites, renovation projects and organisations across the country often default to using skips to load and get waste and by products removed. When a site is too small to house a skip, they are placed on the roadside, which requires a permit, and the additional costs involved. There is also the potential disruption and inconvenience caused by having one directly outside a premises. Or the obstacle it can become when remaining on site for a long time.

The advantages of using a grab hire is that it is a mobile unit. The vehicle can arrive, the large bucket and extendable hydraulic arm can efficiently lift big quantities and load it into the hopper on the back of the HGV. The grab lorry can then be driven away to dispose of the waste or get it recycled. All of this can be actioned by one person, whereas skips can require more manpower and time to load. A grab hire gives you the opportunity to clear sites quickly and effectively; very important when running to a tight schedule.

Apart from the muckaway capabilities of these vehicles for carrying a diverse range of spoil such as soil, various aggregate waste from a demolition, or green waste. They are a brilliant multi purpose lorry; loading and removing waste on their way out, while having the capacity to bring in materials for landscaping and construction, including fresh top soil, gravel, sand, hardcore and more. You wouldn’t get that type of utility with skip hire alone.
