The best method of clearing waste from a construction site will often depend on the project. However, knowing whether to hire a grab lorry or skip for the work at hand may not always be straightforward.
Here at Middleton Tipper Services, we have put together our straightforward guide to highlight the many benefits of grab lorry hire over a traditional skip.
Holds More Waste
A typical grab lorry can often hold up to three times the amount of a traditional skip, making them ideal for construction projects involving large amounts of waste. This extra waste space is also highly beneficial in terms of costs as it helps save on hiring multiple options.
Removes Waste Quicker
Being able to hold more waste also means less trips to empty the contents, ultimately saving time over a traditional skip. The grab lorry’s hydraulic arm is much quicker and saves the effort of relying on manpower to move wheelbarrows of debris back and forth. A grab lorry also has the added advantage of not requiring a permit, saving further time having to apply for the relevant permissions.
Convenient – Does Not Require Parking Permits
As mentioned, unlike a skip, a grab lorry does not require a permit – saving both time and cost applying for the permission to place the skip in a public space.
Can Lift Heavy Objects From Site
One of the main benefits of grab lorry hire is the vehicle’s hydraulic arm, which allows it to pick up debris that would not be possible with just manpower. The grab lorry’s arm also makes it much easier to access hard to reach spaces, such as behind walls, to remove waste.
Adaptable – In Terms of Waste it Can Carry
When deciding between a grab lorry or skip, adaptability is often crucial. Thankfully, the sturdiness and flexibility of a grab lorry’s arm ensures it can pick up all types of waste, which can help to save time and keep workers safe.
