Find out all the added benefits of using grab hire instead of a skip for your construction project below:
Grab Lorries Have Double the Capacity Than Skips – It may seem extreme to hire a grab lorry to remove waste from your site given the size of them. However, it is their size that makes them ideal for all kinds of jobs. Any job that involves getting rid of the old and replacing with the new will generate a lot of waste, and in most cases a skip will not be big enough. So in most situations people tend to find that a grab lorry is the most efficient way to dispose of construction waste.
Cost Effective – Grab lorries can save you money. A grab lorry comes with a once-off rental fee. You do not need to pay money in permit fees as you would for a skip, and there is no labour involved to fill the lorry. You only need to rent the grab lorry for its one trip – as opposed to paying rent for a skip over a number of days or weeks. All of these aspects can end up saving you money.
Less Work – Filling skips is no easy task, everything has to be lifted over the rim and thrown inside, this isn’t so much of a problem with small waste however, larger items can make backbreaking work! With a grab lorry, you don’t need to worry about this part at all. The grab arm can pick up construction waste and deposit it into the lorry. The process is also super-fast, generally taking an average of 20 minutes to fill a lorry with up to 15 cubic metres of waste.
Grab Lorries Can Remove Almost All Waste Types – Because grab lorries can pick up waste with their grab arm, they can remove almost any type of waste. Things that would be too heavy to lift, such as whole trees or cement slabs can pose a big problem if all you have on hand is a skip. A grab lorry, on the other hand, will be able to pick up and dispose of this type of waste with ease.
They Are Agile – A huge benefit of garb lorries is how agile they are. They can park within most grounds or area that a skip couldn’t be placed. The grab arms are also able to remove hard to access waste that might take many hours to remove if done by hand. This makes them a great option to use if you need to get rid of waste in places such as behind walls or fences.
You Don’t Need Permits – In order to have a skip placed at your property you will have to apply for a permit to ensure that it is not going to be obstructing traffic or pedestrians. In order to gain a permit, you will have to apply and pay for it and then wait for a few days for the permit to arrive. If you hire a grab lorry, however, you can do this without the need for a permit and it can be arranged in a shorter time frame.
Grab Lorries Can Deliver – A cost-effective and convenient advantage of grab lorries that is often overlooked is that they can not only remove construction site waste – but deliver materials as well. So, if you have some raw materials that need to be delivered, such as sand, soil, or rock, you can take advantage of your grab lorry hire and arrange for it to collect these materials before coming to the job site. Once onsite, the grab lorry can quickly and easily offload the raw materials and then load up the waste that you want to be removed.
Construction waste removal is an often-overlooked aspect of building and construction projects that can quickly add on time, labour and expense to a project. If you are tackling something that is going to generate a lot of waste – then utilizing a grab lorry might be just the answer you were looking for.
