The benefit of using grab lorry hire is fast, efficient waste removal with minimal manual labour, making it ideal for clearing large volumes of soil, rubble and hardcore in one single trip. Its hydraulic arm makes light work of clearing waste from any hard-to-reach areas, so materials can be lifted over walls and fences safely.
In this guide, we will talk you through the main considerations when it comes to grab hire, so you can make an informed decision for your next project in Manchester.
When should you use a grab lorry?
Grab hire is the ideal solution for projects generating large amounts of construction, demolition, utility and other loose waste. This includes:
- Site clearance: rubble, concrete, bricks, hardcore, asphalt, inert, muck, clay and other mixed site waste
- Green waste from landscaping projects: trees, hedges and turf
- Driveway / patio installations: tarmac, concrete slabs and soil
For our muck away Grab Hire service here at Mayo Stone Supplies, our 32-ton vehicles have a high-capacity truck bed and a powerful grab arm for lifting and loading, perfect for projects with large volumes of heavy materials, such as excavated soil and clay.

How to prepare for your grab lorry hire
We understand that by hiring a grab lorry, you want the process to be as quick and smooth as possible. For this, it’s also important to prepare your site for its arrival
Top tips:
- Keep the waste piled neatly and as accessible as possible

It’s also important to confirm where the lorry can park up and how long loading will take – with Mayo Grab Hire, we can often be on and off your site within 30 minutes. We are also available for same-day hire where needed across Manchester and the North West.
