Grab Lorry Hire South Wales
Professional grab lorry hire services across South Wales. Modern 6-wheel (12-ton) and 8-wheel (16-ton) grab lorries with 8-meter reach. Same-day service available for construction waste, soil removal, and site clearance.
Why Choose Our Grab Lorries
Versatile Fleet Options
Choose between our 6-wheel grab lorries (12-ton capacity) for residential and tight-access locations, or 8-wheel grab lorries (16-ton capacity) for major construction projects. Both feature 8-meter hydraulic reach for accessing difficult sites without needing to enter your property.
Our 6-wheel lorry is ideal for residential streets across the South Wales valleys — it fits most roads and can reach over garden walls and fences. The 8-wheel lorry is the workhorse for commercial sites, housing developments, and high-volume muck away operations.
Cost-Effective Waste Removal
Grab lorry hire is more economical than skip hire for large waste volumes. A single 8-wheel grab lorry load removes 16 tonnes — equivalent to 2–3 large skips — in one efficient visit, with no skip permit required from your local council.
Unlike skips, grab lorries arrive, load, and depart within 30–60 minutes. No waiting days for collection, no risk of neighbours adding waste, and no fixed penalty charges for overfilling. For most medium to large South Wales jobs, the total cost is lower than skip hire with far less hassle.

How Grab Lorry Hire Works — Step by Step
- 1. Call for a quote — Ring 01495 820164 with your location, waste type, and approximate volume. We'll give you a fixed price on the phone with no obligation.
- 2. Schedule collection — Same-day service is available for early bookings. For planned projects, we schedule collections to fit your programme — daily, weekly, or one-off.
- 3. Lorry arrives and loads — Our grab lorry parks on the road adjacent to your site. The 8-metre hydraulic arm extends to collect waste from your garden, driveway, or construction area — no need for the vehicle to enter your property.
- 4. Waste transported and disposed — All waste is taken to licensed waste transfer facilities for sorting, recycling, and disposal. Clean soils are diverted to reuse, concrete is crushed for recycled aggregate, and metals are recovered.
- 5. Waste Transfer Note provided — Every load comes with full documentation as required by the Environmental Protection Act 1990, giving you complete compliance records for your project.

Environmental Responsibility & Waste Recycling
Every grab lorry load we collect across South Wales is transported to licensed waste transfer facilities where materials are sorted for maximum recycling and recovery. We divert up to 90% of collected waste from landfill — clean soils are screened and diverted to reuse, concrete and bricks are crushed for recycled aggregate, metals are recovered through scrap recycling, and green waste is composted or chipped.
This commitment to the circular economy means your South Wales project waste contributes to resource recovery rather than landfill. For contractors and developers with sustainability targets or BREEAM requirements, our recycling-focused approach supports your environmental credentials and demonstrates responsible waste management to clients and stakeholders.

- Hazardous waste carrier licence for contaminated materials
