Our mission is to reduce dependence on landfill by providing certified compliant waste removal solutions that are cost-effective, convenient and reliable across Manchester and surrounding areas.
To help you decide if this is the right service for you, our Mayo Stone recycling experts have put together a short blog encompassing everything you need to know about grab hire Manchester.
A grab wagon or lorry is essentially a large vehicle with an open robust tipper body at the back that can self-load or ‘grab’ waste material. It does this using a bucket and hydraulic arm. This means manual labour is minimised and the lorry can be loaded and ready to leave in little more than 20 minutes. They are particularly well suited to businesses that produce high levels of heavy waste, such as construction sites especially where space is limited.
Grab lorries are a cost-effective alternative to skips, and are ideal, convenient solutions for any business watching its margins. The exact price for grab hire will depend upon several factors such as volume and type of waste as well as the site location.
For a more accurate picture on pricing, feel free to get in touch with the Mayo Grab Hire team. We have years of expertise in different kinds of waste removal and aggregates, we can provide a no-obligation custom quote, tailored to your situation.
On average, grab lorries have a payload of 16 tonnes, allowing the grab truck to take away 16 tonnes of waste in one go.
At Mayo Grab Hire, a wide range of materials can be removed using our grab hire service. Below, we list some of the most common types of waste that can be disposed of using a grab lorry.
A notable exception here is hazardous waste. This needs separate, specialist handling and must be managed according to the relevant legislation and waste policy regulations. Luckily, Mayo Stone Supplies Ltd have years of experience dealing with hazardous and contaminated waste materials, so get in touch and we can tailor our service to suit your requirements and keep your project compliant and on track. Our grab trucks can also supply a wide range of aggregates to your site whilst taking waste on the same journey. This saving time and more importantly reducing our carbon footprint with less road miles used. From a quality certified Bs3882 topsoil, ENA TS 97-1 cable sand to Recycled Washed Pipe Bedding to Limestone MOT Type 1 and 6N, we’ll have the aggregates your project needs.

Their size and loading speeds means there are many reasons you might want to consider using a grab lorry for your waste removal. Here are some of the key benefits:
Cheaper and More Convenient Than Skips
Grab lorries can take a good few skips worth of waste away in one go, making them much more efficient if you need to clear a site quickly. With multiple skips, multiple removals and the relevant costly permits to consider, costs can rapidly stack up. Grab lorries are an affordable alternative for your site.

Good for Sites with Limited Access
The self-loading abilities of a grab truck means it makes a great solution for small sites too that cannot accommodate skips or those in hard-to-access locations. Using its 5-6 metre extendable hydraulic arm, the grab lorry can pick-up material from restricted areas and even reach over obstacles on site.
Less Manual Labour Required
As we have already touched on earlier in the blog: the grab lorry can load waste independently, meaning an excavator is not needed and you can reserve staff-time and resources for more productive activities. All you need to do is hire the Mayo Stone grab truck and clear piles ready to be loaded. The lorry takes care of the rest!
Quick and Efficient
Unlike skips, grab lorries are vehicles so there are no delays between loading and removal – as soon as all the waste is on board, the lorry can head off. In fact, it can take as little as 20 minutes from loading to leaving your site. This minimises disruption and makes them perfect for busy industrial sites or building projects where time is of the essence.
