Grab Hire FAQ

Why opt for grab hire over alternative means of waste management, muckaway, hardcore removal and tarmac removal?

  • Cost – Grab hire is often more cost-effective than hiring skips or using manual labour to handle muck away, hardcore removal and tarmac removal; it’s also a cheaper means of transporting aggregates and road planings to a site
  • Convenience – In many cases, grab hire can be provided on a same-day basis, providing we have the operators and fleet available. This can help prevent projects around Snodland stalling due to having to wait for aggregate and topsoil suppliers, or because a utilities project has accrued to much on-site waste to safely continue
  • Ecological Concerns – As licenced waste carriers, RLS Grab Hire looks recycle as much as possible, using whatever we can as secondary aggregates e.g recycled road planings
  • Safety – Use grab hire and your team don’t have to load skips with heavy materials, putting their safety at risk; injury can also seriously delay projects

What are some common uses for grab hire?

Grab hire is known for being an exceptionally versatile solution. Some common situations we regularly attend to around Snodland, include:

  • Construction site clearance – muckaway, hardcore removal and tarmac removal on development sites
  • Garden clearance – removing garden waste, soil and similar
  • Demolition – removal of rubble, bricks, and other materials arising from a demolition; many can be repurposed and sold on as secondary aggregates / road planings
  • General waste removal – removal of any quantity of inert waste

How much waste can a grab lorry carry?

Our fleet of 8 wheel grab hire vehicles can carry to 16 tonnes of inert waste.


Do I require a permit, as with skips?

As our grab hire vehicles can be loaded or unloaded within 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the muckaway, hardcore removal or tarmac removal task at hand, or quantity of aggregates and road planings ordered from our topsoil suppliers, a permit is rarely required. It largely depends on whether a site in Snodland is accessible, or the grab hire vehicle has to occupy a public highway for an extended period of time. So typically: no. Which saves time/costs spent on skip hire permits, which are necessary to acquire far more often.


What items are exempt from removal via grab hire?

We purely offer muckaway, hardcore removal and tarmac removal. Snodland residents and businesses looking to get rid of hazardous waste, like electrical, chemical and asbestos-containing items, should look for alternative solutions. Inert waste is where we shine, such as quantities of aggregates and road planings accrued during the installation or alteration of utilities.
