How Grab Hire Speeds Up Site Clearance for Construction Projects

How Grab Hire Speeds Up Site Clearance for Construction Projects

In construction, time is one of your most valuable resources. Whether you're preparing groundworks, completing demolition, or landscaping a new development, delays caused by inefficient waste removal can be costly. That’s why more contractors in Portsmouth, Southampton, Fareham and Chichester are turning to grab hire as a fast, flexible solution for site clearance.

What is Grab Hire?

Grab hire involves a specialist lorry fitted with a hydraulic arm that can load and remove large volumes of waste quickly. Unlike skip hire, there's no need for manual loading or on-site storage. A grab lorry can remove up to 16 tonnes of waste in a single visit, often in under 30 minutes.

Time-Saving Benefits for Construction Sites

1. Fast Collection, Minimal Disruption

With grab hire, there’s no waiting around. Waste can be collected from piles at the roadside or directly from your site perimeter. This means less disruption to other trades and no delays waiting for manual loading or skip swaps.

2. No Permit Delays

Skip permits from local councils can take days to obtain. Grab lorries eliminate the need for permits (as long as waste is accessible from the road), speeding up mobilisation on site.

3. Clears Waste in Hard-to-Reach Areas

The hydraulic grab arm reaches over walls, fences, and site hoarding, removing waste from places inaccessible to traditional skips or vehicles.

4. Reduces Labour Costs

There’s no need to assign labourers to load skips. The grab lorry does it for you, freeing up your workforce for more productive tasks.

5. Ideal for Bulk Inert Waste

Grab hire is perfect for soil, concrete, rubble, and hardcore, materials that quickly accumulate during groundwork or demolition.
