Grab Hire vs Skip Hire: The Smarter Waste Removal Solution in Manchester & Cheshire

If you’re managing a construction or landscaping project in Manchester, Cheshire, or anywhere across the North West, waste removal is one of the first hurdles you’ll need to tackle. At Grabs R Us Ltd, we simplify that process with professional, fast-response grab hire services, directly from our base in Stretford.

With a fleet of modern grab wagons, we’re equipped to handle everything from one-off loads to ongoing waste clearance for larger-scale developments — all without the hassle of skip permits, manual loading, or excess downtime.

What Is Grab Hire and How Does It Work?

Grab hire is a waste removal method that uses a hydraulic arm and bucket (the “grab”) to collect waste from a site and load it directly into a wagon. Our trained operators can remove large volumes of material quickly and efficiently, reducing the need for manual labour or additional machinery.

At Grabs R Us, the process is simple:

1. You pile your waste at a designated collection point.

2. Our grab truck arrives at your site.

3. Our operator uses the hydraulic arm to collect and load the waste.

4. We take it away – clean, compliant, and on time.

Why Choose Grab Hire Over Skip Hire?

✅ No Skip Permits Required – Unlike skips, grab wagons don’t need to sit on the road for days, which means no local authority permits or parking issues.

✅ Faster Turnaround – Grab hire collects and removes waste in a single visit, cutting project delays and freeing up valuable space.

✅ Efficient Labour Use – No need for wheelbarrows or manual loading. Let our grab do the heavy lifting while your team focuses on the real work.

✅ Larger Capacity – Our grab lorries can hold up to 16 tonnes of waste, ideal for construction, demolition, and landscaping jobs.
