Muckaway, Aggregates & Grab Hire in Aylesford | RLS Grab Hire Ltd

If you're undertaking a landscaping or construction project, or perhaps the installation of vital utilities in Aylesford, have you considered how you’re going to approach the necessary waste removal? This is crucial, especially during the early excavation and earthworks phase, and even during demolition. Efficient services like muckaway and hardcore removal ensure timely completion of your project within a pre-allocated budget.

RLS Grab Hire provides grab hire and muckaway services to keep your site clean, safe, and productive. Besides waste removal, our team also delivers aggregates, sourcing every kind of primary and secondary aggregate you might require, while serving as trusted topsoil suppliers for your Aylesford project.

We can also supply a cost-efficient means of creating temporary car standings and car parking areas: road planings. These are recycled materials we collect during tarmac removals – another service we are proud to offer the Aylesford area. They can also be used to cover up exposed utilities, should a quick solution be required.

Why Grab Lorry Hire Can Outperform Skip Hire

While many people compare grab hire with skip hire, the results are incomparable. Our company provides several benefits that reach well beyond simply hiring a skip.

Time-Efficiency

Every construction project or utilities installation has a budget and timeline, from the creation of a hardstanding with road planings, to generic residential developments; whatever the job at hand, timely waste clearance is critical to stay within limits. The requirement for muckaway and hardcore removal work arises early on, and delays during this stage can have a ripple effect on subsequent stages, such as aggregate delivery. Once our grab lorry arrives at your site, it typically takes under 30 minutes to load up with your waste before we leave. Conversely, bulky skips can occupy precious space on your site for days, weeks, or even months, and their collection process can bring all other work to a stop.

No Permits

By utilizing grab hire services, there is no need to apply for permits for waste collection since the process is rapid. However, if you require skip placement on public land, you must obtain a permit from Aylesford Council before delivery. This can waste valuable time and increase your budget since the permit application process can take up to a week to turnaround. Furthermore, if your skip lacks a valid permit, you risk receiving a hefty fine, and the council will remove it immediately.

Versatile

Our grab lorries have eight wheels and can handle loads up to 16 tonnes, making them ideal for any muckaway, hardcore removal work, or aggregate delivery – which also makes them a vital tool used in our capacity as topsoil suppliers, and during work on utilities that we undertake. With their compact design, our vehicles can also pass through narrow roads and busy building sites in and around Aylesford. The hydraulic arm mounted behind the driver’s cab enables grab hire trucks to reach over obstacles like walls and fences.

In contrast, skips tend to create more problems than they solve, such as making parking and road access difficult. They can also become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria and are susceptible to fly tipping when full and awaiting collection.

Speedy Tarmac Removal

Road planings are one of our most popular aggregates, and constantly in demand amongst our Aylesford clients. Much of this is sourced via our tarmac removal service, which would be impossible without the aid of our grab hire vehicles. So if you’re more interested in this side of what we do, don’t hesitate to contact us at your earliest convenience.
