Grab Hire Across Leeds, Bradford & Wakefield
Got a driveway to dig out, a garden full of clay, or a site that needs clearing fast? That is what grab hire is for. We run 8-wheel grab lorry hire and a proper muck away service across Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield. There is no requirement for a skip permit or waiting days for someone to turn up.
Understanding Grab Hire?
Grab hire means a lorry with a hydraulic arm and a claw on the end (that's the "grab"). They come to you, load waste straight off your driveway or site, and drive away with it. Some people call it grab wagon hire: same thing, different name. No skip sat outside your house. No council permit to arrange. The wagon does the job in one visit, and you are done.
It works for anyone: homeowners doing a driveway or garden job, landscapers, builders, and site managers clearing a plot before groundwork starts.
Our 8 Wheel Grab Lorry Hire
We run 8-wheel grab lorries, which means more capacity and a longer reach than the smaller 6 wheel wagons some firms use. Each load carries up to 17 tonnes, about two skips' worth, and the arm reaches up to 8 metres. So, we can get over a wall, hedge or fence without anyone needing to open a gate or move a car.
Most jobs take 15 to 20 minutes from arrival to the lorry pulling away. That is really the whole point of grab hire over a skip; you are not waiting around for days.
Muck Away Service
If you are digging out a driveway, an extension, a basement, or clearing a plot before building starts, you need somewhere for the soil and subsoil to go. That is our muck away service. We take it straight from the dig and get rid of it properly. You find no pile of earth sitting on your drive for a fortnight.
We handle clay, subsoil, topsoil and hardcore, whether it's a small garden job or a full site strip for a build.
What We Take
- Soil, subsoil and topsoil
- Clay
- Hardcore and broken concrete
- Old paving slabs
- Rubble from renovations and demolition
- General inert construction waste
Not sure if what you have got counts? Give us a call and describe it. Most inert waste from a home or site job is fine.

FAQs
How much does grab hire cost?
Price depends on how much you’re clearing, what it is, and where you are. Call us or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer, not a vague range.
What's the difference between grab hire and skip hire?
A skip sits on your property until it’s full, then gets collected, which can take days, and you often need a council permit if it’s on the road. Grab hire is one visit: the lorry loads and leaves in around 15 to 20 minutes, no permit needed.
Do you offer 8 wheel grab lorry hire for site work as well as homes?
Yes. We work with homeowners and landscapers just as much as builders, developers and site managers. Same lorry, same process either way.
Is grab hire the same as grab wagon hire?
Yes, it’s just a different name for the same service. Some people say grab hire, some say grab wagon hire, some say muck away. We do all of it.
How much can an 8-wheel grab lorry carry?
Up to 17 tonnes per load.
