In need of a grab lorry? Kent businesses and residents alike rely on us for dependable grab lorry and tipper waste removal services.

Our grab and tipper hire in Kent covers all needs, from single load delivery to ongoing contracts - so, to discuss your requirements, call us on 01304 626 364.
Our fleet of grab lorries is used for all sorts of materials, including:

Building waste, including rubble and building debris

Soil and excavation spoil
Certificated topsoil
Branches, roots and garden waste
Hardcore and aggregate waste
Muck away waste
Commercial or domestic waste
With disposal points across Kent, we offer our customers a competitive grab lorry rubbish removal service for both inert and contaminated soils. Since the introduction of waste acceptance criteria for inert landfill, we can offer onsite chemical testing with results guaranteed within five working days.
We operate a large fleet of modern grab vehicles. Scania 8x4 tippers, equipped with a 15 m3 calibrated body, enabling them to carry a full 20-tonne payload and maximising their use within the competitive construction market.
After removing your waste, we'll transport it to disposal points to be sorted for recycling.
The main difference is how they're loaded. A grab lorry comes with a hydraulic arm and a big metal grab bucket, which means we can load the waste directly into the back of the truck without needing any extra machinery on your end. That's handy if there's no plant on site or if space is tight.
A tipper lorry, on the other hand, doesn't have that arm – so you'll need your own machine to load the material.
Both do the same job in terms of transport, but which one you need really comes down to what machinery you have on site.
If you're unsure whether you need a grab lorry or a tipper truck, get in touch with our team on 01304 626 364 or send us a message – we'll be happy to help.
One of the most common reasons contractors hire a grab lorry is for muck away. This is the clearing of excavation waste from groundworks, demolition and construction projects. A grab lorry is well suited to this because it can load itself on site without needing additional machinery, and can handle the full range of muck away material categories:
Inert waste: waste that is unreactive and won't decompose, such as concrete, sand, soil and clay
General waste: materials that could go in the household waste bin, like plastic or soil
Hazardous waste: contaminating or harmful materials, for example, asbestos or chemically treated ground
Thanks to our expansive fleet, we have muck-away wagon capacity for large-scale construction projects, commercial work and excavations, meaning you and your team can work more quickly and without the hazard of excess material getting in the way.
We've been operating in Kent since 1995, and in that time, we've built one of the largest private waste removal fleets in the county. Construction sites, groundworks contractors, commercial developers, local authorities and homeowners all benefit from our professional services.
We have a Zero-to-Landfill policy. All collected materials go to our disposal and recycling centre to be sorted, processed and returned to use where possible. 180,000 tonnes of recycled aggregates are returned to Kent every year as a direct result of that commitment.
We also hold the necessary Environment Agency waste carrier licences to handle both inert and hazardous materials, so you can relax knowing you're not taking on any compliance risk by working with us.
There’s no one-size-fits-all price because the cost of grab lorry hire depends on a few factors – mainly how much waste you’ve got, what type of material it is and where the site is located.
Once you’ve provided that info, we’ll give you a proper quote with no hidden extras. We keep our prices competitive and try to offer good value, whether it’s a one-off job or part of a longer project.
Just drop us a quick message or give us a ring on 01304 626 364 – it only takes a minute to get the ball rolling.
We operate across the South East, supporting commercial and residential customers with their waste disposal needs. We offer a range of waste removal services, including skip hire, rubbish clearance and total waste management.

Our skip sizes range from four to 12 cubic yards which provide a very cost-effective way to dispose of bulky waste including furniture and garden waste. For a skip that will be placed on the road, there will be an extra charge of £50.00 (per week) added for a permit from the council. If a permit is required, it takes 3 days to obtain permission from the local authority so factor this in when you’re planning the hire of your skip.
To help you decide which size skip would be best for you, please refer to our waste skip sizes guide pages. We’ve included skip sizes in yards and skip capacity m3 to give you a good idea of what will fit in each skip.
Our grab lorries are 8-wheel, 4-axle vehicles (8x4s) and can carry up to 20 tonnes of waste in a single load.
That works out to around 15 cubic metres of space – which is roughly three or four full skips’ worth.
If you’ve got a big pile of muck, rubble, or soil to shift, it’s often more efficient (and cheaper) to get one grab lorry in than to go through several skip exchanges. It also saves time, as we can load up and be out of your way in one visit.
To book a grab lorry today, just give us a call on 01304 626364.
Yes, we do both. As well as removing waste, our grab lorries are often used to deliver aggregates, recycled materials, and topsoil directly to the site. This is especially useful when there’s limited access and larger delivery trucks can’t get close enough.
We can drop materials loose or in one-tonne bags, depending on what works best for your job.
All our materials are certified, and because we handle them ourselves from start to finish, you know exactly what you’re getting.
If you’d like a quote for the delivery of materials, speak with our team.
Yes, definitely. Whilst we do a lot of work on big commercial sites, we also offer mini grab hire for smaller or one-off jobs. This is ideal if you’re doing a house renovation, landscaping your garden or clearing out after building work - especially if there’s no space for a skip.
One grab lorry load can take away a surprising amount, and it’s all done in one go, so you’re not left with a skip sitting outside for days.
For a grab hire quote for a small job or domestic project, simply send us a message.
In most cases, no road permit is needed for a grab lorry because we’re not leaving the vehicle on the road like you would with a skip.
We arrive, load up and leave, usually within an hour or so. That means no waiting around for council approval or paying for a permit.
That said, if access is really limited or if we do need to stop on a main road, we’ll discuss it with you first and sort out the best option.
