At Morley Skips, our Grab Hire for delivery service is more than just a waste-clearing operation. With a hydraulic arm capable of reaching over walls and fences, grab hire doubles as a handy delivery method; ideal for transporting materials such as sand, concrete, hardcore, and more. If you’ve been wondering whether Grab Hire for delivery is the right solution for you, this guide covers the full range of materials available for delivery and why Morley Skips is always the right choice.
Grab Hire comes in the form of an 8-wheeler lorry with a 15-tonne capacity and a 10-metre grab arm. This versatile system can deliver bulk materials directly into hard-to-reach areas, such as rear gardens, building plots, or construction sites that lack access. Unlike bagged materials or manual tipping, grab hire saves time by reducing handling, as well as additional labour costs.
Grab Hire for delivery eliminates the need for manual unloading. The materials arrive in bulk, often in just one delivery, saving you time and manpower.
We can fill load quantities from one tonne up to 15 tonnes in a single delivery. This flexibility is ideal for both domestic jobs and commercial projects.
For large bulk deliveries, grab hire can provide better value in comparison to multiple skip or bag deliveries, particularly where labour loading costs are a concern.
Whether you need materials placed into a back garden, over extensions, narrow side entrances or fencing, grab hire means that you don’t need to worry about access restrictions.
Our in-house crushing and sorting allows us to deliver recycled aggregates where suitable, thanks to our state-of-the-art waste transfer station. This means that you receive reliable materials with a reduced environmental footprint.
Here are some of the typical projects where we recommend using Grab Hire for delivery:
Here’s a detailed look at the primary materials that can be delivered using our grab hire service:
A versatile, recycled crushed hardcore. Ideal for use as a sub-base for driveways, landscape foundations, roadways, and large fill applications.
Traditional aggregates are suited for drainage, bedding, screeding, and multiple construction tasks.
We can deliver screened, certified, nutrient-rich topsoil directly to your site; perfect for lawn relaying, planting beds, or final landscaping touches.
We offer various sands, from sharp sand to building sand; ideal for laying block paving, mixing mortar, or backfilling trenches.
Depending on demand, we can deliver lean-mix concrete for pad foundations, shed bases, internal rafts, or stable sub-bases. It arrives loose into place and is particularly useful for sites without ready-mix access.
If you’re removing heavy debris or taking incoming materials, a second grab hire visit can clear existing hardcore, keeping your site organised and ready for foundation work.
Once you get in touch, our team will confirm access to the site and ground conditions before deciding on the most appropriate delivery method.
We work with you to specify the right material type and volume, everything from fine sand to mixed-grade hardcore.
We confirm volumes and delivery timing, and provide you with a clear quote; there are no hidden extras, just a per-load cost based on material weight and access.
On the agreed day, our grab lorry will arrive and deposit the material precisely where you want it.
Once delivered, the material is yours to use. Alternatively, if you’re clearing debris, we can organise a follow-up grab hire to collect spoil or waste from the same area in the same trip, depending on your needs.
Our grab lorries can carry up to 15 tonnes per trip, depending on material density. That roughly equates to:
