Our Services
Whether you need a grab lorry on-site tomorrow or a bulk delivery of Type 1 to a groundworks job, we have the fleet and the experience to keep your project moving.

Grab Hire
Fast, self-loading waste removal using our modern 8-wheel grab lorries. Ideal for construction clearances, muck away, and bulky material removal — no skips, no double-handling.

Muck Away
Soil, spoil, and excavated material shifted off-site quickly and efficiently. Our grab vehicles load themselves, keeping your groundworks programme on schedule.

Mixed Waste Removal
Rubble, timber, soil, metal, and general construction waste cleared in a single load. We separate and recycle what we can, issuing waste transfer notes on every job.

Green Waste Removal
Tree cuttings, hedge trimmings, turf, and landscaping arisings cleared cleanly. Suitable for large landscaping contracts and domestic garden clearances alike.

Waste Wood Disposal
Timber, pallets, and structural wood removed and routed to licensed recycling facilities. A faster, greener alternative to skips for timber-heavy site clearances.

Site Clearance
Full site strip and clearance using grab, tipper, and support plant as needed. One contractor, one call, one waste transfer note. Quoted per project
FAQs
Common Questions
How much can a grab lorry carry?
A standard 8-wheel grab lorry carries up to 15–16 tonnes or approximately 20 cubic metres per load, depending on the material. Lighter materials like green waste will fill the volume before the weight limit; heavy materials like soil and rubble will hit the weight limit first. We’ll advise on the number of loads needed when you enquire.
What areas do you cover for grab hire?
We cover Perth, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Stirling, Falkirk, and the surrounding areas of Perthshire, Fife, Angus, and Tayside. If you’re unsure whether we reach your site, call us — we’ll confirm straight away.
Can you provide a waste transfer note?
es. A waste transfer note is issued on every load as standard. We are registered with SEPA as a licensed waste carrier, so all documentation is in order for your compliance records.
Do you deliver aggregates and remove waste on the same visit?
In many cases, yes — a grab lorry can tip aggregate on the way in and load waste on the way out, saving you a vehicle movement and reducing your costs. Ask us about combined runs when you get a quote.
How quickly can you get a grab lorry on site?
We aim for next-day availability on most jobs across our core coverage area. For larger programmes or repeat scheduling, we work ahead with you to keep vehicles booked and on programme.
