What is Grab Hire
Grab Hire by Gittins Grab Services is the removal of inert waste using our 6-wheeler, self-loading grab lorries. Using a Palfinger Clamshell Grab Bucket, we can efficiently load and transport large quantities of heavy materials, including:
Rubble
Tarmac
Soil & Turf
Muck (Clay)
Vegetation
Green Waste
Brash & Timber
Grab Hire is ideal for commercial, agricultural or domestic customers, for example, builders, landscapers or homeowners. Common uses for Grab Hire include:
Construction & Demolition: Removing rubble, bricks and concrete
Landscaping: Clearing earth, subsoil, and green garden waste.
Muck Away: Large-scale site clearances of soil and groundworks.
Material Delivery: Delivering loose loads of Topsoil, Recycled 6F5 (125mm-dust), MOT Type 1 Stone (40mm – Dust), Quarried MOT (125mm-Dust), Recycled Washed Gravel (10-20mm), 1A Fill Material or Fil/Cable Sand.
How Grab Hire Works
To book Grab Hire, contact Oliver on 07854 368752, Mike on 07976 311125, or via
email at info@gittinsgrabservices.co.uk. We will ask you for the job location, specifically by postcode, to ensure you are within our service area.
Once the location is confirmed, we will ask you for a description of the type of material you require to be collected or delivered, and quote accordingly. This quote will depend on both material type and distance from our operating yard in Prees, Whitchurch.

Prior to arriving at the site, we will send an invoice to be paid on receipt, either by card machine, BACS, or over the phone. No service will be carried out before payment is received unless previously agreed.
Our operator will collect or deliver materials using a 6-wheel grab lorry with a reach of up to six metres, allowing for self-loading over walls, hedges and fences if required.
If we are collecting materials, they will either be returned to our site or delivered to a third-party associate for processing.
Benefits of using a Grab Lorry from Gittins Grab Services
Capacity and Efficiency
Our grab lorries enable quick, efficient self-loading, so no additional manpower is required beyond the crane operator/driver.
Grab lorries have a larger capacity than standard skips and tipper trailers, making them a better option for larger projects and often allowing the entire waste removal to be handled in a single trip.
Accessibility and Convenience
The grab lorry does the heavy lifting and can reach over walls, hedges and fencing with ease. No fussing with moving materials by hand.
Speed and Flexibility
Grab Hire from Gittins Grab Services offers flexible scheduling, accommodating unforeseen changes that we understand happen on jobs. Every element of our business is operated by the same people, alleviating communication problems often found in bigger companies.
Cost-Effective
Whilst the initial costs of a grab lorry may be higher than those of a skip, its capacity and speed can make it more cost-effective. Also, as no additional manpower is needed, labour costs are reduced.
Environmental Benefits
At Gittins Grab Services, we prioritise the recycling of the inert waste we collect, diverting it from landfill.
