Grab Hire vs Skip – What’s the difference?

At YRC Excavation and Grab hire we look after construction, agricultural and even residential waste. Making sure all timeframes are on time and met accordingly.

We all know the removal of waste material can be the largest inconvenience for any project, it can be a long drawn out process which is one of the reasons why grab hire is the best choice for convenience.

Below we look at some of the differences

  • Grab hire is quick and convenient, whereas skip hire will take time to fill and then can be left for days to be collected, grab hire literally does what he suggests comes and collects the material and is collected and gone the same day.
  • Grab hire can collect large amounts of waste, skips can hold a large amount of waste, however a grab hire lorry can hold three times as much waste due to the volume inside the lorry. This saves multiple skip hire’s.
  • The ability to move around, a grab hire lorry navigate terrain and collect waste from most locations, meaning less labour work moving waste to skips as they have to be stationary.
  • Skips can be delayed being dropped off and collected which can set project times back, where as a grab hire lorry are quick and responsive, taking a large amount of waste, quickly and efficiently.
  • A skip can only provide you with waste removal, there is no additional support whereas grab hire can support in other ways, this is supporting in you in ways such as delivery of soil and other aggregates that maybe needed on site
