Grab Lorry Hire in Slough
Grab lorries for muckaway, hardcore and site clearance across Slough and Berkshire. A grab loads itself from a stockpile, verge or trench spoil heap, so you don't need an excavator standing by — and the same lorry can return loaded with aggregate to keep movements down.
Slough site conditions we plan around
Industrial and data-centre plots take volume Type 1 and capping to a strict daily tonnage, often with vehicle-booking systems and timed gate slots. Residential regeneration in the town centre is the opposite — tight plots, grab access and phased small loads. Made ground on former industrial land makes WAC classification routine.
Lead times & access
Stocked lines within 24–72 hours across SL postcodes. Artic and 8-wheel loads for trading-estate and Heathrow-corridor work with timed gate bookings; grab and bulk bags for town-centre plots.
What we handle on Slough grab hire jobs
- Muck, subsoil and clay loaded direct from a stockpile
- Hardcore, brick and concrete arisings from demolition and strip-out
- Trench spoil where there's no room to keep a machine on standby
- Verge-side loading with an extended-reach arm over a wall or fence
- Two-way loads returning with Type 1, capping or bedding stone
Options for Slough sites
6-wheel grab
Around 12 tonnes — better for narrow residential streets and weight-restricted accesses.
8-wheel grab
Around 16 tonnes per load, the standard choice for construction and groundworks clearance.
Extended-reach arm
Loads over a boundary, hedge or hoarding where the lorry can't get alongside the heap.
Wait-and-load
Lorry stays on site while your machine loads it, for jobs with limited stockpile space.

Grab hire in Slough — FAQs
How much can a grab lorry take on a Slough job?
An 8-wheel grab carries roughly 16 tonnes per load and a 6-wheel around 12 tonnes. On tighter Slough streets the 6-wheel is often the only option that can get alongside the heap.
How far can the grab arm reach?
A standard arm works to around 6–8 metres from the lorry; extended-reach machines go further and can load over a wall, hedge or hoarding. Tell us the distance and we'll match the machine.
Do I need an excavator on site?
No — that's the main advantage of a grab. It loads itself, so you don't pay for a machine and operator to stand idle waiting for lorries.
Can the grab bring aggregate back into Slough?
Yes. Two-way loads are standard: the grab tips your arisings at a licensed facility and returns with Type 1, capping or bedding stone for the same site.
